Make configured lists and dictionaries replace initialized code defaults during standard .NET configuration binding. Choose explicitly what an empty configured collection means.

📦 Installation

dotnet add package Eigenverft.NetLib.Configuration.Binding

🚀 Quick start

The built-in binder appends list items and merges dictionary entries when the target already has values. This extension clears a configured mutable collection first, then lets the framework bind and convert its values:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using Eigenverft.NetLib.Configuration.Binding;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;

HostApplicationBuilder builder = Host.CreateApplicationBuilder(args);
FilterOptions options = new();
builder.Configuration.GetSection("FilterOptions")
    .BindReplacingCollectionDefaults(
        options,
        EmptyCollectionBehavior.UseCodeDefaults);

public sealed class FilterOptions
{
    public List<string> Allowed { get; set; } = new() { "default" };
    public Dictionary<string, int> Weights { get; set; } = new() { ["default"] = 1 };
}

For options registration, apply the same policy whenever the options infrastructure creates or reloads an instance:

using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;

builder.Services
    .AddOptions<FilterOptions>()
    .BindReplacingCollectionDefaults(
        "FilterOptions",
        EmptyCollectionBehavior.UseEmptyCollection);

🧭 Behavior and limits

Configuration state Result
Collection key is missing Keep code defaults
Configured list or dictionary has entries Replace the initialized collection
Configured collection is empty with UseCodeDefaults Keep code defaults
Configured collection is empty with UseEmptyCollection Replace with an empty collection

The empty-collection policy is required on every call. The helpers cover initialized mutable IList and IDictionary properties; other property types keep native binder behavior. ConfigurationKeyNameAttribute aliases are honored. Binding, value conversion, BinderOptions, named options, and change-token behavior remain framework-owned.

These APIs use reflection and are annotated for dynamic-code and trimming requirements. Preserve the options members used for binding when publishing a trimmed application.
