Azure App Configuration : practical guide

Create a non https mvc dotnet core project.

dotnet new mvc --no-https

Sample csproj configuration. Dotnet core will throw you missing Configuration Error, if you include some packages that are not suppose to be in.




If you're doing it from nuget package manager, please ensure you checked "Include Pre-release"

dotnet add package Microsoft.Azure.AppConfiguration.AspNetCore --version
3.0.0-preview-010560002-1165


You need to create a ConnectionString:Appconfig in your app settings. In actual deployment it looks like this

The value should be something like this (just copy connection string value)  :-

Endpoint=https://your-awesome-appconfig.azconfig.io;Id=fake_id;Secret=fakesecret

Let's wire up your view to actually pull data from Application Configuration



You need to grab some configuration data from the store and show it like this



Our application configuration's Configuration Explorer contains the following data :-

Restore, Build and Run

dotnet restore

dotnet build


Some notes

Key is case insensitive. If your key is "key" vs "KEY", it doesn't make any difference
.
You need to restart your web app service if you're updated the value, as it is largely cached. Refresh wont help :)

Value are encrypted over https.


Deployment.

And ready to deployed straight to web app service. Just make sure you didn't forget about configuration settings described earlier.
