Eigenverft.NetLib.Configuration.Sets 1.0.0.5-gdfdd996480

Eigenverft.NetLib.Configuration.Sets

Coordinate related JSON configuration files as one application-defined profile choice. Each participant is prepared before the set changes, so a rejected candidate leaves the previous coordinated profile active.

✨ At a glance

📦 Installation

dotnet add package Eigenverft.NetLib.Configuration.Sets

The package depends on Eigenverft.NetLib.Configuration.SwitchableJson; NuGet restores it automatically.

🚀 Quick start

Register a named set and bind one or more JSON files using the default {rootPath}/{value}/{fileName} layout. Create a directory and valid file for every value that should be selectable:

using System.IO;
using Eigenverft.NetLib.Configuration.Sets;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;

HostApplicationBuilder builder = Host.CreateApplicationBuilder(args);
string profilesRoot = Path.Combine(
    builder.Environment.ContentRootPath,
    "settings",
    "Operations");

builder.AddConfigurationSet(
        name: "OperationalProfile",
        initialValue: "Normal",
        additionalAllowedValues: ["Incident"])
    .AddSwitchableJson(
        rootPath: profilesRoot,
        fileNames: ["LoggerSettings.json", "Resilience.json"]);

using IHost host = builder.Build();
IConfigurationSetManager profiles =
    host.Services.GetRequiredService<IConfigurationSetManager>();

bool switched = profiles.TrySwitchRuntime(
    setName: "OperationalProfile",
    value: "Incident",
    result: out ConfigurationSetSwitchResult? result);

The manager is registered automatically with the first set. The synchronous call returns only after all participants have completed; inspect result when it returns false.

🧭 Set behavior and related APIs

Set names, allowed values, paths, and policy meanings belong to the application. Runtime switches update ordinary IConfiguration values, so consumers must be reload-aware (for example, IOptionsMonitor<T>) to react to changes. Startup-only concerns such as the DI graph or middleware composition should wait for restart; use .ApplyMode(ConfigurationSetApplyMode.StartupOnly) when storing desired state. Sets coordinate Configuration.SwitchableJson sources; they do not define what a profile means. Value protection is an opt-in feature of those sources, using Configuration.Values codecs.

For custom file naming, register each participant with a sourcePathResolver. The ConfigurationSetRegistration returned by AddConfigurationSet is a startup handle; runtime switching normally goes through IConfigurationSetManager. The keyed IConfigurationSetCoordinator and IConfigurationSetEventHub provide set-level integration and observation.

AddConfigurationSetStateFile(path) adds an optional self-describing desired-state file, watcher, and DI state-store service for persisted operator or control-plane choices. Keep that state file separate from the profile files. For a single independently switched file without set coordination, use Eigenverft.NetLib.Configuration.SwitchableJson directly.

🎯 Target frameworks

The package targets net8.0 and net10.0.
