Config File Setup

If you wish to use the configuration files to configure the repositories, please follow these steps:

Element Definitions

Element	Description
defaultContextFactory	Defines the default repository context factory to use
interceptors	Accepts a collection of interceptor elements

Each element can accept a collection of parameters which can be used to construct the type, or a key value collection as well

Element	Description
parameters	Accepts a collection of parameter elements

Configuration File Template Example for NET451 & NETSTANDARD2

App.config In order for the repositories to read data from the App.config the user will need to add a custom section handler and a configuration section:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <!-- Configuration section-handler declaration area. -->
  <configSections>
    <section name="repository" type="DotNetToolkit.Repository.Internal.ConfigFile.ConfigurationSection, DotNetToolkit.Repository" />
    <!-- Other <section> and <sectionGroup> elements. -->
  </configSections>
  <!-- Configuration section settings area. -->
  <repository>
    <defaultContextFactory type="DotNetToolkit.Repository.InMemory.Internal.InMemoryRepositoryContextFactory, DotNetToolkit.Repository.InMemory" />
    <interceptors>
      <interceptor type="ExampleApplication.TestRepositoryInterceptor, ExampleApplication">
        <parameters>
          <parameter value="random parameter"/>
        </parameters>
      </interceptor>
    </interceptors>
  </repository>
</configuration>

var options = new RepositoryOptionsBuilder()
    .UseConfiguration() // it will use the App.config file
    .Options;

Configuration File Template Example for NET451, NETSTANDARD1.3 & NETSTANDARD2

appsettings.config In order for the repositories to read data from the appsettings.json file the user will need to add a section to the file:

{
  "repository": {
    "defaultContextFactory": {
      "type": "DotNetToolkit.Repository.InMemory.Internal.InMemoryRepositoryContextFactory, DotNetToolkit.Repository.InMemory"
    },
    "interceptors": [
      {
        "interceptor": {
          "type": "DotNetToolkit.Repository.Integration.Test.Data.TestRepositoryInterceptor, DotNetToolkit.Repository.Integration.Test",
          "parameters": [
            {
              "parameter": {
                "type": "System.String",
                "value": "random param"
              }
            },
            {
              "parameter": {
                "type": "System.Boolean",
                "value": "True"
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

var options = new RepositoryOptionsBuilder()
    .UseConfiguration(Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.IConfiguration) // it will use a configuration section
    .Options;

Additionally, any element type that is defined in the configuration file can be resolved by using the ConfigurationProvider.SetDefaultFactory.
