ASP.NET 5 (vNext) - Configuration

Question

I am trying to learn ASP.NET 5. I am using it on Mac OS X. At this time, I have a config.json file that looks like the following:

config.json

Answer 1

You can simply access the value of config property Environment by using Configuration class like this anywhere in your application.

var environment = Configuration["AppSettings:Environment"];

But if you want it to access through a property of class you can do this

public class AppSettings 
{ 
 public string Environment
 { 
 get 
 { 
  return new Configuration().Get("AppSettings:Environment").ToString(); 
 }
 set; 
 } 
}

Note I haven't set the value of Environment in setter because this value will be in config.json so there is no need to set this value in setter.

For more details have a look at this article.
