CFG2.AppLib 1.0.24

CFG2.Utils.AppLib

An opinionated application configuration library. Those opinions include, but are not limited to:

• An app config lib should be simple to configure (just dotnet add package CFG2.AppLib)
• An app config lib should be simple to use (see example, but simply App app = new();)
• An app config lib should default as much as possible (see opinions above)

Some ways AppLib attempts to be easy to use include:

• Providing a consistent filesystem structure for any of your applications.
• Providing a way to get application configuration properties.
• Providing utility functionality like key value pair (KVP) management, and deduplication control.

Usage Examples

namespace CFG2.Test;

using CFG2.Utils.AppLib;

public class TestApp
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        App app = new();
        AppConfig appConfig = new AppConfig(app); // Optional, but extremely useful if you have configuration you want to load/save
        Deduper deduper = new Deduper(app, "MyAppDeduper"); // Optional, but useful if you want to track things you've already processed.

        app.Log("Logging a message via the default logger provided by App instance.");

        app.Trace(app.Name);
        app.Trace(app.Dir);
        app.Trace(app.LogDir);
        app.Trace(app.DataDir);
        app.Trace(app.BackupDir);
        app.Trace(app.SoftDeleteDir);
        app.Trace(app.BackupBaseDir);
        app.Trace(app.BackupRootDir);
        app.Trace(app.SyncDir);
        app.Trace(app.InboxDir);

        app.CleanupSoftDeleteDirectory(4);
        app.SoftDeleteFile(app.LogFile);

        app.Trace("Goodbye");
    }
}
