How to export generated credentials and ports to external applications

[pfeigl]

I'm currently working on a Apache Flink application. I'm running the whole development setup for it in Aspire (RabbitMQ, Kafka, SqlServer and everything else I need).
This works great and I love it.

However one thing I had to do was hardcode all ports, passwords and so on, so that I could connect to the dev setup from my java based application.

I'd love to use the auto-generated values. Is there any best practices how to accomplish this?

One idea was to add a small "Exporter Project" into the setup, add references from all the resources to this project and than gather all the services, connection strings, ports and so forth together and write it into a config file.

Is this the best way to tackle this?
