directory-to-object-dotnet

.NET implementation of the directory-to-object configuration reader library, tailored to the System.Text.Json JSON parser.

As with its TypeScript ancestor, this library is intended for complicated configuration cases where having just one structured file is too limiting or is hard for humans to understand. Instead of cramming all the configuration into one structured file, this library allows the configuration structure to be split across multiple files in a directory and combined on read into a single System.Text.Json.Nodes JsonObject. From there the, it can be parsed or processed just like a single configuration object would.

The library targets .NET 10 (net10.0), .NET 8.0 (net8.0) and netstandard2.0 for maximum compatibility.

Using the library

Install from NuGet

dotnet add package directory-to-object

Build locally

Simply:

dotnet build

To run the TUnit tests from the command line (substitute a different framework identifier, as needed):

dotnet run --project directory-to-object.Tests/directory-to-object.Tests.csproj --framework=net10.0

Sample Code

The simplest example is to use the default settings for the loader (which treats files with the ".json" extension as JSON and files with the ".txt" extension as plain text files):

using DirectoryToObject;

// Get a directory loader with default options.
var loader = Loader.Default;

// Load a directory from the file system, specified by path, into a JsonObject.
var contents = await loader.LoadFileSystemPathIntoJsonObjectAsync("path/to/my/directory");
