Populate POCO class with config values - eaardal/konfiggy GitHub Wiki
With version 1.0.6 you can automatically map a POCO class to appSetting`connectionString` keys.
With a POCO class like
class Config
{
public string MySetting { get; set; }
public string MyConnectionString { get; set; }
}And a app.config file like
<appSettings>
<add key="dev.mySetting" value="foo"/>
</appSettings>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="dev.myConnectionString" connectionString="bar"/>
</connectionStrings>You can automatically populate it with config data
var config = konfiggy.PopulateConfig<Config>()
.WithAppSettings()
.WithConnectionStrings()
.Populate();The mapping is done by reflecting on the POCO's properties name and appSetting`connectionString` keys in the config file. The mapping is not case sensitive.
Or map the properties manually if the names doesn't match exactly
var config = konfiggy.PopulateConfig<Config>()
.WithAppSettings(c => c.Map(x => x.MySetting, "someAppSettingKey"))
.WithConnectionStrings(c => c.Map(x => x.MyConnectionString, "someConnectionStringName"))
.Populate();All primitive types are supported, such as int, bool, double, char, etc.
The config
<add key="items" value="foo;bar;hello;world"/>Maps to the property
public IEnumerable<string> Items { get; set; }
This also works with other primitive types:
<add key="intItems" value="1; 2; 3; 4;"/>
<add key="doubleItems" value="1.12; 2.34; 3.56; 4.78"/>
<add key="boolItems" value="true; false; true; false"/>Maps to
public IEnumerable<int> IntItems { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<double> DoubleItems { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<bool> BoolItems { get; set; }
