Description
There are places in Aspire where we read configuration values out of IConfiguration
but generally speaking we expect the source for this information to be user secrets. A good example is when someone uses AddConnectionString(...)
.
Unfortunately the Aspire CLI doesn't really give you the ability manipulate user secrets. You could set a configuration values for a connection string but it would go into .aspire/settings.json.
I'm thinking that we should probably add first class secrets support to the aspire config
command.
I think the way this would work is that if you specify --secret
on the command-line instead of updating the config file, it would invoke dotnet user-secrets
instead (using the app host project as context).
I don't know how this would work with polyglot app hosts though since the user secrets ID is embedded within the project file. Maybe we need to hoist that into .aspire/settings.json
and pass it along when running the app host?
