Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Abstractions 8.0.0-preview.7.23375.6

About

Provides abstractions of key-value pair based configuration. Interfaces defined in this package are implemented by classes in Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration and other configuration packages.

Commonly used types:

For more information, see the documentation: Configuration in .NET.

Example

The example below shows a small code sample using this library and trying out the ConfigurationKeyName attribute available since .NET 6:

public class MyClass
{
    [ConfigurationKeyName("named_property")]
    public string NamedProperty { get; set; }
}

Given the simple class above, we can create a dictionary to hold the configuration data and use it as the memory source to build a configuration section:

var dic = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
    {"named_property", "value for named property"},
};

var config = new ConfigurationBuilder()
    .AddInMemoryCollection(dic)
    .Build();

var options = config.Get<MyClass>();
Console.WriteLine(options.NamedProperty); // returns "value for named property"

Packages Downloads
Microsoft.Extensions.ServiceDiscovery.Abstractions
Provides abstractions for service discovery. Interfaces defined in this package are implemented in Microsoft.Extensions.ServiceDiscovery and other service discovery packages.
9
Microsoft.Extensions.Options.ConfigurationExtensions
Provides additional configuration specific functionality related to Options.
8
Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json
JSON configuration provider implementation for Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration. This package enables you to read your application's settings from a JSON file. You can use JsonConfigurationExtensions.AddJsonFile extension method on IConfigurationBuilder to add the JSON configuration provider to the configuration builder.
8
Aspire.Hosting
Core abstractions for the .NET Aspire application model.
8
Lucene.Net
Lucene.Net is a full-text search engine library capable of advanced text analysis, indexing, and searching. It can be used to easily add search capabilities to applications. Lucene.Net is a C# port of the popular Java Lucene search engine framework from The Apache Software Foundation, targeted at .NET Framework and .NET Core users.
8
Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Abstractions
Hosting and startup abstractions for applications.
7
Microsoft.Extensions.Http
The HttpClient factory is a pattern for configuring and retrieving named HttpClients in a composable way. The HttpClient factory provides extensibility to plug in DelegatingHandlers that address cross-cutting concerns such as service location, load balancing, and reliability. The default HttpClient factory provides built-in diagnostics and logging and manages the lifetimes of connections in a performant way. Commonly Used Types: System.Net.Http.IHttpClientFactory
7
Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Binder
Provides the functionality to bind an object to data in configuration providers for Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration. This package enables you to represent the configuration data as strongly-typed classes defined in the application code. To bind a configuration, use the Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.ConfigurationBinder.Get extension method on the IConfiguration object. To use this package, you also need to install a package for the configuration provider, for example, Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json for the JSON provider.
7
Aspire.StackExchange.Redis.OutputCaching
A Redis® implementation for ASP.NET Core Output Caching that integrates with Aspire, including health checks, logging, and telemetry.
7
Microsoft.Extensions.ServiceDiscovery
Provides extensions to HttpClient that enable service discovery based on configuration.
7
Microsoft.Orleans.Core
Core library of Microsoft Orleans used both on the client and server.
7
Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json
JSON configuration provider implementation for Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration. This package enables you to read your application's settings from a JSON file. You can use JsonConfigurationExtensions.AddJsonFile extension method on IConfigurationBuilder to add the JSON configuration provider to the configuration builder.
6
Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Binder
Provides the functionality to bind an object to data in configuration providers for Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration. This package enables you to represent the configuration data as strongly-typed classes defined in the application code. To bind a configuration, use the Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.ConfigurationBinder.Get extension method on the IConfiguration object. To use this package, you also need to install a package for the configuration provider, for example, Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json for the JSON provider.
6
Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration
Implementation of key-value pair based configuration for Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration. Includes the memory configuration provider.
6
Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.FileExtensions
Provides a base class for file-based configuration providers used with Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration and extension methods for configuring them.
6
Aspire.StackExchange.Redis
A generic Redis® client that integrates with Aspire, including health checks, logging, and telemetry.
6
Microsoft.Extensions.Http
The HttpClient factory is a pattern for configuring and retrieving named HttpClients in a composable way. The HttpClient factory provides extensibility to plug in DelegatingHandlers that address cross-cutting concerns such as service location, load balancing, and reliability.
