ConfigurationGenerator

What's this?

This is just a simple Json Configuration File Generator given a class definition and a resolver class that retrieve values stored in the json configuration files.

Once installed the ConfigurationGenerator.nupkg will be added two folder to your project:

- ConfigFiles
  - Data
  - Schema

You most create your configuration class ClassName.cs inside Schema folder, once there your go to Package Manager Console and type New-Config ClassName, this will generate ClassName.json file inside Data Folder. Now you can call ConfigResolver singleton class to retrieve the property wished from the given class or load into memory the whole object.

ConfigurationGenerator Usage Example

- ConfigFiles
  - Data
  - Schema
    - Info.cs

Let define Info.cs:

public class Info
{
    public string Name { get; set; } = "Last";
    public Guid Guid { get; set; } = Guid.NewGuid();
}

Now you go to Package Manager Console, select the project in which you installed the package and type:

New-Config Info

This will generate a Info.json file, as consequence your final project will look like:

- ConfigFiles
  - Data
    - Info.json
  - Schema
    - Info.cs

Info.json data:

{
  "Name": "Last",
  "Guid": "f61db2da-4b64-4e99-b214-889fd297ac25"
}

Now if you want to get the Name Property Value you have to put in your code:

using ConfigFileGenerator.Implementation;

string name = ConfigFileGenerator.Implementation.ConfigResolver.Instance.Resolve<Info, string>(x => x.Name);
Guid guid = ConfigFileGenerator.Implementation.ConfigResolver.Instance.Resolve<Info, Guid>(x => x.Guid);

If you want to retrieve the whole entity then, use instead:

Info info = ConfigFileGenerator.Implementation.ConfigResolver.Instance.Resolve<Info>();

In case of using with Web Applications you most move the ConfigFiles/Data folder structure at the same level of bin folder.
