This is a simple package for loading settings file from Environment Variable.

Installing

You can install the package from Nuget:

Install-Package LukeVo.EnvironmentSettings

If you want to use JSON, a package with Newtonsoft JSON.NET dependency can be found here:

Install-Package LukeVo.EnvironmentSettings.Json

Usage

The package contains only a static utility class:

    var settings = EnvironmentSettings.GetInstance(
        "MyAppSettingsPath",
        (fileContent) => fileContent);

The first parameter is the name of the Environment Variable. The value should be the path to a file. fileContent will be the content of the file, and you can then proceed with processing the input string (in the example above it simply returns the same string from the content of the file). You can also specific where to search the value (Process - default, User or Machine):

    var settings = EnvironmentSettings.GetInstance(
        "MyAppSettingsPath",
        EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine,
        (fileContent) => fileContent);

If you use the JSON package, you can also deserialize immediately into an object:

    var result = JsonEnvironmentSettings.GetInstance<MyAppSettings>(
        "MyAppSettingsPath");
