Invisionware Frmaework is a collection of utilities classes, extension methods, and new functionality to simplify creatig application in .NET. Amost all of the libraries are support on Dektop and Mobile (including Xamarin) development environments to provide the maxinum value possible.

This portion of the Invisionware Framework provides a Settings Framework that is very similiar to Serilog in that it supports extensions for where the settings are stored, how they are accessed, etc.

Packages related to Invisionware Settings

Install-Package Invisionware.Settings

using Invisionware.Settings;

Sinks provide a way to read/write settings from different sources

Read/Write settings from Azure DocumentDb

Read/Write Settings from Azure Storage

Read/Write Settings from JsonNet files

Overrides allow for "overriding" settings during the read/write operation. These are useful for loading settings from one source and then updating specific individual settings from something like the CommandLine

A generic override that executes a specific action immediately before or after reading the settings and before returning the settings object

public class CustomSettings
{
	public string String1 { get; set; } = "String1";
	public int Int1 { get; set; } = 1;
	public CustomSettingsNested Nested { get; set; } = new CustomSettingsNested();
}

public class CustomSettingsNested
{
	public string String2 { get; set; } = "Nested.String2";
}

var f = System.IO.Path.Combine(TestContext.CurrentContext.WorkDirectory, "customSettings.json");

var settingsConfig = new SettingsConfiguration<CustomSettings>().WriteTo.JsonNet(f).ReadFrom.JsonNet(f);

var settingsMgr = settingsConfig.CreateSettingsMgr();

settings.String1 = "Test 1";
settingsMgr.SaveSettings(settings);

var settings = settingsMgr.LoadSettings();

Console.WriteLine(settings.String1);
// Test 1;
