How do you design a strongly-typed class for a configuration?
To create a strongly-typed class for binding to a configuration section:
- The property names and their types match the key names and their value types "exactly" in the configuration.
- The classes used must be non-abstract with parameterless constructors
- Only the public accessors (properties) are bound to configuration data but not fields
How can you bind a configuration section to an object?
A Configuration section can be bound to a strictly-typed class object in two ways:
- use Configuration.Bind() by passing the configuration section to bind and the object to which the values are mapped.
- use services.Configure() to bind a section to a type and access the type by means of IOptions, IOptionsSnapshot or IOptionMonitor interface.
When do you use IOptionsMonitor explained
IOptionsMonitor is a part of the IOptions provided in ASP.NET Core. It returns the "CurrentValue" and notifications when options change.
What is a Named Option?
Named options are when a single class is to be used for creating different objects of configurations that have the same structure.
What are the differences between IOptions and IOptionsSnapshot?
The below are the differences between IOptions and IOptionsSnapshot explained respectively. Both are provided as part of the IOptions framework in ASP.NET Core
