Plisky.Plumbing - ConfigHub.

ConfigHub uses the Hub context from Plisky Plumbing to provide application configuration anywhere within the codebase irrespective of how the application configuration is to work for a given solution. It can therefore be used with app.config / web.config or any other form of configuration to support the application configuration needs.

ConfigHub also has a built in DateTime function to get the current date, allowing for mocking and abstraction of the system DateTime.

Quick Start.

To start simple retrieve existing settings from App.Config in the same way that you would do by default.

// Use your own or the static Confighub.Current
ConfigHub sut = new ConfigHub();
// Use AppConfig <appSettings><add key="SettingName" value="value">
sut.AddDefaultAppConfigFallback();
string val = sut.GetSetting("SettingName");

Concepts.

Config hub provides settings to your application code, using a series of fallback providers to find the settings from the environment that the application is running on. The Simplest is to add an app config fallback provider and config hub retrieves settings from application configuration. However often this is sub optimal, especially where settings change through environments or where settings are sensitive.

TroubleShooting.

To enable trace for ConfigHub turn on the trace switch “Plisky-ConfigHub”. This can be done using the standard configuration for Plisky.Diagnostics (see here)
