Config settings in ASP.NET Core Overview

Config settings in ASP.NET Core Overview

Asp.Net Core Configuration Access configuration settings from appsetting.json in Startup Access configuration settings from custom configuration file in Startup Access config settings from appsetting.json in Controller using DI Access config settings using custom class Access config settings directly from class library

Access config settings directly from class library

In the previous post we saw on how to access the config settings by creating a custom class and injecting it in the startup, so that it can be used in the controllers. In this case the startup and the controller classes are in the same project.

Access config settings using custom class

In the previous post we saw on how to use Dependency Injection to get the configuration options in the Controller classes. In this post we will see another way of reading the configuration setting using a custom class.

Access config settings from appsetting.json in Controller using DI

In the previous post we saw the options to read config setting values in Startup, in this post we shall see on how to get the config setting values in the controller. We will inject the configuration object to the service and the same will be made available in the Controller using Dependency Injection.

Access configuration settings from custom configuration files

In the previous post we saw on how to read configuration settings from the appsettings.json file. While this holds good for most of the cases, there might be situations where we will need our custom configuration file, when we use our own configuration file, we need to specify the file in the Startup and add the file to the ConfigurationBuilder.

In the below case we have a custom configuration file mysettings.json, and we will read the configuration settings from our config file.
