Source Generator for generating POCO classes based on your appsettings.json files

This Source Generator generates POCO's based on your appsettings.json files. It also supports multiple settings files: appsettings.json + appsettings.Development.json + appsettings.Production.json, etc.

1. Add the appsettings.json files to your .csproj like this:

  <ItemGroup>
    <AdditionalFiles Include="appsettings.json" />
    <AdditionalFiles Include="appsettings.Development.json" />
  </ItemGroup>

You can add as many appsettings files as you want :)

2. The config classes are generated in the namespace ApplicationConfig (This will be configurable in the next release).
3. Register your config in the DI container: builder.Services.Configure<ApplicationConfig.MyAppConfig>(builder.Configuration);
4. Inject the config in your constructor: IOptions<ApplicationConfig.MyAppConfig> options

⚠️ You may have to restart Visual Studio after installing this NuGet package!
