To utilize, add following to Program.cs where AppConfig is custom class to bind ApplicationConfiguration section to:

    private static AppConfig? _applicationConfiguration;

    ...

    var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

    _applicationConfiguration = new(builder.Configuration);
    builder.Services.AddApplicationConfigurationService(options =>
    {
        options.ApplicationConfiguration = _applicationConfiguration;
    });

Example of custom class (requires IConfiguration passed into constructor):

    public class AppConfig(IConfiguration configuration) : ApplicationConfiguration.Models.ApplicationConfiguration(configuration)
    {
    }

If configuration environment has sections under ApplicationConfiguration section, then each section is it's own class within custom class. Example:

    public class AppConfig(IConfiguration configuration) : ApplicationConfiguration.Models.ApplicationConfiguration(configuration)
    {
        public ConnectionStrings ConnectionStrings { get; set; } = new();
    }

    public class ConnectionStrings
    {
        public string ApplicationDbConnection { get; set; } = string.Empty;
    }

Custom class can now be utilized in dependency injection:

    public abstract class ApplicationBaseController<T>(
        ILogger<T> logger,
        IApplicationConfigurationService applicationConfigurationService
    ) : WebBaseController<ApplicationBaseController<T>>(logger) where T : ApplicationBaseController<T>
    {
        protected readonly AppConfig _applicationConfiguration = applicationConfigurationService.ToObject<AppConfig>();
    }
