Override Nodes at Startup

[pbros]

Hello,

In my navigation, I have links to external urls which change depending on the environment (Dev, QA, Staging, Production) the site is in running. Currently, I need to maintain a different navigation.xml per environment (e.g. navigation.QA.xml, navigation.Staging.xml), which is set in the navigation options in appSettings.json using "NavigationMapXmlFileName": "navigation.QA.xml",

The structure of all of these is identical except for the URLs of a few nodes.

Would it be possible to not have to maintain full xml files per environment, but instead have the ability to override certain node by key at startup. I know there is a node adjuster, but my understanding is that it's a per page/request override, and not a global one.

I would suggest maybe adding a dictionary to the Navigation Options, where we can set the Url per NodeKey.

I just published an updated nuget https://www.nuget.org/packages/cloudscribe.Web.Navigation/2.1.11

I added a new interface just for you INavigationTreeProcessor

you can implement and inject 1 or more of those and process the tree immediately after it is built and before it gets cached. I only added it for XmlNavigationTreeBuilder so it won't work currently for JsonTreeBuilder.

That gives you the opportunity to update any node using whatever logic you want.
