SimpleJsonConfig

A minimal C# library for managing json config files in the .net framework.

Whats new

version 1.0.0.6: Thanks to https://github.com/Programm3r the package now has the ability to read json configs from a web store.

Also in this version is the ability to get settings async

TLDR;

1. Package-Install SimpleJsonConfig

2. Use this code

   var reader = new ConfigReader(); var value = reader.GetSetting ("Testing");

3. Create a folder default and add a file default.json. Set the poperty "Copy to Output Directory" to "Copy Always". This will copy the setting file to the root of your assembly everytime you compile.

   Example: {testing: "foo"}

Enviroments

The Library uses a convention based method of determining where to look for config files. The default convention is to look in a folder called default that is located in the same directory as the excecuting binary.

However the idea is to have different configurations for you different environments. This is achieved in 2 ways.

1. By calling GetSettings with the environmentvariable set. This will look for n folder of the same name and scan for any .json files in this directory. It will then look for the key in all of those files.
2. By setting the environmentvariable ConfEnv. This is the preferred way. In azure you would need to set this value once int he Application settings.

Versions

version 1.0.0.5: Added the ability to specify a root folder. If the environmental variable called "RootFolder" is set the system will look for the other folders within this folder. This makes it easier to group config folders into a central group.

version 1.0.0.6: Thanks to Programm3r the package now has the ability to read json configs from a web store.

Also in this version is the ability to get settings async.
