PC.MobileTools.AppSettings

The package helps developers for generating a configuration file of MAUI mobile application in json format to a C# class. This task allow a CI/CD configuration building for different environments.

How to use.

Add a nuget package into your main MAUI project

dotnet add package PC.MobileTools.AppSettings

Then create a buildconfig.json and appsettings.json at the root of MAUI project, the format of both files as below:

1. buildconfig.json

{
  "environment": "development",
  "className": "Secrets",
  "nameSpace": "yournamespace",
  "classDir": "Helpers",
  "properties": [
    {
      "name": "AppName",
      "type": "String",
      "isConstant": false,
      "defaultValue": "Company Name"
    },
    {
      "name": "PackageId",
      "type": "String",
      "isConstant": true,
      "defaultValue": "com.companyname.name"
    },
    {
      "name": "ProductId",
      "type": "Guid",
      "isConstant": false,
      "defaultValue": "505aa026-a088-4d7d-9e5d-cd13c3c35f19"
    }
  ]
}

A property type is supporting with some primitive types:

String, Int, Char, Guid, Double, and DateTime.

Note: the nameSpace is required.

2. appsettings.json

{
  "AppName": "",
  "PackageId": "",
  "ProductId": "" 
}

Note: any property in the appsettings.json must include property declaration in buildconfig file.

3. Build your project, then use the generated class in your code:

using yournamespace.Helpers
    
Console.WriteLine(Secrets.AppName);

Happy coding all ^^.
