Aspire.Hosting.Azure.AppConfiguration

Aspire.Hosting.Azure.AppConfiguration library

Provides extension methods and resource definitions for a .NET Aspire AppHost to configure Azure App Configuration.

Getting started

Prerequisites

• Azure subscription - create one for free

Install the package

In your AppHost project, install the .NET Aspire Azure App Configuration Hosting library with NuGet:

dotnet add package Aspire.Hosting.Azure.AppConfiguration

Configure Azure Provisioning for local development

Adding Azure resources to the .NET Aspire application model will automatically enable development-time provisioning for Azure resources so that you don't need to configure them manually. Provisioning requires a number of settings to be available via .NET configuration. Set these values in user secrets in order to allow resources to be configured automatically.

{
    "Azure": {
      "SubscriptionId": "<your subscription id>",
      "ResourceGroupPrefix": "<prefix for the resource group>",
      "Location": "<azure location>"
    }
}

NOTE: Developers must have Owner access to the target subscription so that role assignments can be configured for the provisioned resources.

Usage example

Then, in the Program.cs file of AppHost, add an App Configuration connection and consume the connection using the following methods:

var appConfig = builder.AddAzureAppConfiguration("config");

var myService = builder.AddProject<Projects.MyService>()
                       .WithReference(appConfig);

NOTE: Consider setting the name of your resource to something other than "config" or "appconfig". Even though during deployment a random suffix will be added it is still possible to get a name collision.
