Hot to access appsettings.json from another project in same solution?-CodePudding

I have a solution with two projects:

ASP.NET Core 6 Web API Project
Class Library Project

I want to access the appsettings.josn file in the web api project from within the class library.

The api project already has a reference to the class library (Request/Response Models, Services, Handlers...etc).

Adding a reference for the api project to the class library would create a circular reference problem.

What's the best solution for this problem? Do I ditch the 2-project solution structure and place everything under 1 project?

CodePudding user response：

Make a get function that return information that you want from project that is owner of json settings

CodePudding user response：

We do not recommend using the ConfigurationManager Class in the class library to get the value of appsettings.json.

Reason:

Test Method in Controller

public string GetValue()
{
    GetValue g = new GetValue();
    string result = g.fortest(_settings.Value.SmtpHost,_settings.Value.EmailRecipients);
    return result;
}

Test Result
