Config2 1.0.0

Config2

Config2 is a C# library for managing application configuration using JSON and YAML files, environment variables, and user secrets. It provides an easy-to-use interface to read configuration data, with support for type-safe accessors and automatic change monitoring.

Features

• Supports JSON and YAML configuration files
• Supports environment variables and user secrets
• Type-safe accessors for configuration values
• Automatic monitoring of configuration files for changes
• Flexible, easy-to-use interface

Installation

To use Config2, add the library as a dependency to your project using your preferred package manager or by downloading the source code directly.

Usage

Here's a basic example of how to use Config2 in your C# project:

using Config2;

// Get a value from the configuration
string connectionString = StaticConfig.GetValue<string>("ConnectionStrings:DefaultConnection");

// Get a strongly typed object from the configuration
DatabaseSettings dbSettings = StaticConfig.GetObject<DatabaseSettings>("DatabaseSettings");

// Get a collection of objects from the configuration
IEnumerable<Endpoint> endpoints = StaticConfig.GetObjects<Endpoint>("Endpoints");

Configuration Files

By default, Config2 looks for appsettings.json and appsettings.yaml files in your project's root directory. You can specify additional or different files using the AssignJsonFiles and AssignYamlFiles methods:

StaticConfig.AssignJsonFiles("config.json");
StaticConfig.AssignYamlFiles("config.yaml");

User Secrets

To enable user secrets in your configuration, set the UseUserSecrets property to true:

StaticConfig.UseUserSecrets = true;

Note that you'll also need to provide the UserSecretsId in your project file. Refer to the official Microsoft documentation for more information.

Watching for File Changes

To enable automatic monitoring of configuration files for changes, set the WatchForFileChanges property to true:

StaticConfig.WatchForFileChanges = true;

When this feature is enabled, the configuration will be rebuilt automatically whenever a change is detected in any of the monitored files.
