ProjectInformation 1.0.2

DotNetProjectInformation

A utility library to extract project configuration and package dependencies from .NET projects.

📋 Description

DotNetProjectInformation is a reusable utility library designed for .NET 8 / .NET Standard 2.1+ projects. It helps developers:

• 📂 Read settings from appsettings.json
• 🧱 Inspect assembly/project metadata
• 📦 Extract all installed NuGet packages
• 🔍 Detect .csproj files recursively in a solution
• 🛠️ Print referenced assemblies

🚀 Features

• ConfigurationReader: Read values from appsettings.json by key or print all settings.
• AssemblyInfoHelper: Get the current assembly name and target framework.
• PackageInspector: Inspect all referenced NuGet packages for each project.
• ProjectConfigFetcher: Access configuration settings using a simplified wrapper.
• DependencyFetcher: Print referenced assembly names from the current context.

📦 Dependencies

Dependencies shown below are used in the sample:

• Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration
• Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json
• Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.EnvironmentVariables
• Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.FileExtensions
• Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Binder
• Newtonsoft.Json

🧪 Sample Usage

Sample File: SampleExampleConsoleProjectInformation.cs

using ProjectInformation;
using Service = ProjectInformation.Services;
using Utils = ProjectInformation.Utils;

using System;

namespace TestPackageWithConsole
{
	public class Program
	{
		public static void Main()
		{
			Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
			//generating information from all projects
			var solutionRoot = @"F:\DefaultFolder\DotNet8Services"; // or wherever your projects are

			//some points with knowledge of project.
			//1. Getting specific information from Appsettings.json
			//2. Getting all environment variables information.
			//3. Getting all information from AssemblyInfo.cs
			//4. Getting all framework information from AssemblyInfo.cs
			//5. Getting all project information from csproj file.
			//6. Getting all project information from all projects in the solution.
			//7. Getting all project information from all projects in the solution with specific packages.
			//8. Getting all project information from all projects in the solution with specific references

			bool running = true;
