Settings.CodeGen

Generates strongly-typed constants for appsettings.json(appsettings.{Environment}.json) configuration keys. This helps prevent typos and improves refactorability when accessing configuration values.

Usage

  1. Install the package:
dotnet add package Settings.CodeGen
  1. Build your project. Constants will be generated automatically in the Generated folder (relative to the project file).
  2. Use the generated keys in your code:
string conn = configuration[AppSettingsKeys.ConnectionStrings.DefaultConnection];

Configuration

You can configure the code generation by adding properties to your project file (.csproj).

Add a <PropertyGroup> and set the desired properties:

<PropertyGroup>
  
  <SettingsCodeGenNamespace>MyApp.Config</SettingsCodeGenNamespace>

  
  <SettingsCodeGenProjectDir>/src/projectWithAppsettingFiles</SettingsCodeGenProjectDir>

  
  <SettingsCodeGenLocalization>en</SettingsCodeGenLocalization>

  
  <SettingsCodeGenEnabled>false</SettingsCodeGenEnabled>
</PropertyGroup>

Minimal Configuration Examples

To use defaults (generate in $(MSBuildProjectName).Generated.AppSettingsKeys):

No configuration needed. Just install the package and build.

To disable generation for a specific project:

<PropertyGroup>
  <SettingsCodeGenEnabled>true</SettingsCodeGenEnabled>
</PropertyGroup>

To change the output namespace:

<PropertyGroup>
  <SettingsCodeGenNamespace>MyCompany.MyApp.Configuration</SettingsCodeGenNamespace>
</PropertyGroup>
