PicoCfg

Async-first configuration management for .NET Native AOT.

Quick Start

dotnet add package PicoCfg
using PicoCfg;
using PicoCfg.Abs;
using PicoCfg.Extensions;

var cfg = await Cfg.CreateBuilder()
    .Add("App:Name=MyApp\nApp:Version=1.0")
    .BuildAsync();

var value = cfg.GetValue("App:Name");

Provider Model

Sources ──→ Providers ──→ Root ──→ Consumer

Sources define how config is produced. The root composes provider snapshots into a unified view. Consumers query via TryGetValue or GetValue.

Built-in Sources

Source Description
Dictionary In-memory key-value pairs
Environment Variables OS environment, prefix filtering, __: mapping
Command Line --key=value, --key value, -key value, /key value
Stream Line-based key=value text parsing with file watching
File Watching Auto-reload on file change with debounce
Chained Fallback to another ICfg instance
KeyPerFile Kubernetes ConfigMap style — filename=key, content=value

CfgBuilder

var cfg = await Cfg.CreateBuilder()
    .AddEnvironmentVariables("APP_")
    .Add(() => File.OpenRead("appsettings.cfg"))
    .Add(() => File.OpenRead($"appsettings.{env}.cfg"),
        watchPath: $"appsettings.{env}.cfg")
    .AddCommandLine(args)
    .BuildAsync();

Source-Generated Binding

Add PicoCfg.Gen as an analyzer. Call CfgBind.Bind<T> to trigger compile-time binding generation.

using PicoCfg;

public sealed class AppSettings
{
    public string Name { get; init; }
    public int MaxRetries { get; init; } = 3;
}

var settings = CfgBind.Bind<AppSettings>(cfg, "App");

DI Integration (PicoCfg.DI)

container.RegisterCfgRoot(root);                    // ICfgRoot + ICfg
container.RegisterCfgSingleton<AppSettings>("App"); // POCO from config
container.RegisterCfgOptionsSingleton<AppSettings>(); // typed options
