🚀 EnvoyConfig

EnvoyConfig is a modern C# library for .NET 8+ that loads strongly-typed configuration objects from environment variables at runtime using reflection. It supports advanced attribute-based mapping, type safety, nested objects, lists, dictionaries, and flexible prefixing—all with minimal boilerplate.

✨ Features

• Attribute-based configuration: [Env] attribute for mapping properties to env vars
• Supports primitives, enums, nullable types, lists, arrays, dictionaries, and nested objects
• Multiple initialization modes: direct key, comma-separated/numbered lists, dictionary/map, nested prefix
• Global/static prefix support
• Logging integration with adapters (Microsoft, Serilog, NLog)
• Thread-safe, high performance (caching)
• Zero external dependencies in core

📦 Installation

dotnet add package EnvoyConfig

Optional:

dotnet add package EnvoyConfig.Adapters.Microsoft  # For Microsoft.Extensions.Logging

🚀 Quick Start

public class MyConfig {
    [Env(Key = "MYAPP_PORT", Default = "8080")]
    public int Port { get; set; }

    [Env(Key = "MYAPP_FEATURES", IsList = true)]
    public List<string> Features { get; set; } = new();
}

EnvConfig.GlobalPrefix = "MYAPP_";
var config = EnvConfig.Load<MyConfig>();

🔧 Advanced Usage & Features

• Prefix Handling: Set EnvConfig.GlobalPrefix to prepend to all lookups.
• Attribute Modes:
  • [Env(Key = "FOO")] (direct key)
  • [Env(Key = "BAR", IsList = true)] (comma-separated list)
  • [Env(ListPrefix = "ITEM_")] (numbered list: ITEM_1, ITEM_2, ...)
  • [Env(MapPrefix = "MAP_")] (dictionary: MAP_key1=val1, MAP_key2=val2)
  • [Env(NestedPrefix = "DB_")] (nested object)
• Supported Types: string, int, bool, double, enums, nullable types, List<T>, T[], Dictionary<TKey,TValue>
• Logging: Pass a custom logger (IEnvLogSink) or use an adapter for your framework.

🛠️ Troubleshooting / FAQ

• Type conversion errors: check env var values and types
• Missing env vars: use Default or handle nulls
• Prefix confusion: ensure GlobalPrefix and attribute keys are set as intended
• Logging: implement or use provided adapters for structured logs
