Configuration

Core Principles

1. Options pattern always — Never read IConfiguration directly in services. Bind configuration sections to strongly-typed classes with validation.
2. Validate on startup — Use ValidateDataAnnotations() and ValidateOnStart() to catch misconfiguration before the first request.
3. Secrets never in source — Use user secrets in development, Azure Key Vault or environment variables in production. Never commit secrets to git.
4. Configuration layering — appsettings.json → appsettings.{Environment}.json → environment variables → user secrets. Later sources override earlier ones.

Patterns

Options Pattern

// Options class with validation attributes
public class DatabaseOptions
{
    public const string SectionName = "Database";

    [Required]
    public required string ConnectionString { get; init; }

    [Range(1, 100)]
    public int MaxRetryCount { get; init; } = 3;

    [Range(1, 60)]
    public int CommandTimeoutSeconds { get; init; } = 30;
}

// Registration with validation
builder.Services.AddOptions<DatabaseOptions>()
    .BindConfiguration(DatabaseOptions.SectionName)
    .ValidateDataAnnotations()
    .ValidateOnStart(); // Fails at startup if configuration is invalid

// appsettings.json
{
  "Database": {
    "ConnectionString": "",
    "MaxRetryCount": 3,
    "CommandTimeoutSeconds": 30
  }
}

Injecting Options

// IOptions<T> — singleton, read once at startup, doesn't change
public class OrderService(IOptions<DatabaseOptions> options)
{
    private readonly DatabaseOptions _db = options.Value;
}

// IOptionsSnapshot<T> — scoped, re-reads per request (for reloadable config)
public class OrderService(IOptionsSnapshot<DatabaseOptions> options)
{
    private readonly DatabaseOptions _db = options.Value;
}

// IOptionsMonitor<T> — singleton, actively watches for changes
public class BackgroundWorker(IOptionsMonitor<WorkerOptions> options)
{
    public void DoWork()
    {
        var current = options.CurrentValue; // Always latest
    }
}

Custom Validation (Complex Rules)

builder.Services.AddOptions<JwtOptions>()
    .BindConfiguration("Jwt")
    .Validate(options =>
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(options.Key) || options.Key.Length < 32)
            return false;
        if (options.ExpirationMinutes <= 0)
            return false;
        return true;
    }, "JWT key must be at least 32 characters and expiration must be positive")
    .ValidateOnStart();

Azure Key Vault (Production)

// Program.cs — add Key Vault as a configuration source
if (builder.Environment.IsProduction())
{
    var keyVaultUri = new Uri(builder.Configuration["KeyVault:Uri"]!);
    builder.Configuration.AddAzureKeyVault(keyVaultUri, new DefaultAzureCredential());
}

Configuration for Multiple Environments

// Named options — different config per named instance
builder.Services.AddOptions<SmtpOptions>("internal")
    .BindConfiguration("Smtp:Internal");
builder.Services.AddOptions<SmtpOptions>("customer")
    .BindConfiguration("Smtp:Customer");

// Usage
public class EmailService(IOptionsSnapshot<SmtpOptions> options)
{
    public async Task SendInternalEmail(string to, string body)
    {
        var smtp = options.Get("internal");
        // ...
    }
}

Anti-patterns

Don't Read IConfiguration Directly

// BAD — stringly-typed, no validation, hard to test
public class OrderService(IConfiguration config)
{
    public void Process()
    {
        var timeout = int.Parse(config["Database:CommandTimeout"]!);
    }
}

// GOOD — strongly-typed options
public class OrderService(IOptions<DatabaseOptions> options)
{
    public void Process()
    {
        var timeout = options.Value.CommandTimeoutSeconds;
    }
}

Don't Put Secrets in appsettings.json

// BAD — committed to source control
{
  "Jwt": { "Key": "super-secret-key" },
  "Database": { "ConnectionString": "Server=prod;Password=secret" }
}

// GOOD — appsettings.json has defaults/structure only
{
  "Jwt": { "Key": "", "Issuer": "myapp", "Audience": "myapp" },
  "Database": { "ConnectionString": "" }
}
// Secrets provided via user-secrets (dev) or env vars / Key Vault (prod)

Don't Skip Startup Validation

// BAD — misconfiguration discovered at runtime
builder.Services.Configure<JwtOptions>(builder.Configuration.GetSection("Jwt"));

// GOOD — fail fast at startup
builder.Services.AddOptions<JwtOptions>()
    .BindConfiguration("Jwt")
    .ValidateDataAnnotations()
    .ValidateOnStart();
