Read appsetting.json content from other project

I’m running v3.7.2 of the boilerplate. and the name of my project is Prime I’m trying to read the appsetting.json values located in the project Prime.Web.Host and read it values in the project Prime.Core but I’ve not been able to get it to work. I followed this as a guide https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48948905/how-to-access-appsettings-from-another-project?noredirect=1&lq=1

my appsetting.json looks something like this.

  "AppSettings": {
    "IBS": {
      "SharedKey": "dadaoo88dsfladfa8adsa",
      "SharedVector": "iudafdfaddd",
      "ApplicationId": 54344
    },
    "CoreBankingService": {
      "AccountOpening": {
        "DefaultBranchCode": "kkd8873jjdaf",
        "DefaultAccountManager": "kakjdkjfa5583mdfa"
      }
    },
    "ThirdPartyService": {
      "BaseUrl": "http://localhost:3456/",
      "Spay": {
        "BaseUrl": "http://localhost:3456/SPay/",
        "SwitchId": "66553557477dad",
        "AppId": "jhhjd66a5"
      }
    }
  }

I defined a POCO to mimic this as shown below;

namespace Prime
{
    public class AppSettings
    {
        public IBS IBS { get; set; }
        public CoreBankingService CoreBankingService { get; set; }
        public ThirdPartyService ThirdPartyService { get; set; }
    }

    public class IBS
    {
        public string SharedKey { get; set; }
        public string SharedVector { get; set; }
        public int ApplicationId { get; set; }
    }

    public class CoreBankingService
    {
        public AccountOpening AccountOpening { get; set; }
    }

    public class ThirdPartyService
    {
        public string CreditSearchBaseUrl { get; set; }
        public Spay Spay { get; set; }
    }

    public class Spay
    {
        public string BaseUrl { get; set; }
        public string SwitchId { get; set; }
        public string AppId { get; set; }
    }

    public class AccountOpening
    {
        public string DefaultBranchCode { get; set; }
        public string DefaultAccountManager { get; set; }
    }
}

In Prime.Web.Host project, my Startup.cs file looks something like this;

 public class Startup
    {
        private const string DefaultCorsPolicyName = "localhost";

        private readonly IConfigurationRoot _appConfiguration;

        public Startup(IHostingEnvironment env, IConfiguration configuration)
        {
            _appConfiguration = env.GetAppConfiguration();
        }

        public IServiceProvider ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            //var settingsSection = _appConfiguration.GetSection($"AppSettings");

            //services.Configure<AppSettings>(settingsSection);
            // services.AddSingleton(_appConfiguration.GetSection("AppSettings").Get<AppSettings>());
            services
                .Configure<AppSettings>(_appConfiguration)
                .AddSingleton(sp => sp.GetRequiredService<IOptions<AppSettings>>().Value);
            // MVC
            services.AddMvc(
                options => options.Filters.Add(new CorsAuthorizationFilterFactory(DefaultCorsPolicyName))
            );
        //...other code...
       }
      //...other code...
     }

Now when I try to incject AppSettings into any class, I always get null as the values of the properties of AppSettings

 public class CoreBankingService : ICoreBankingService
    {
        private readonly AppSettings _appSettings;
        public CoreBankingService(AppSettings appSettings)
        {
           _appSettings = appSettings;
           var foo = _appSettings.IBS //all properties of _appSettings is null
        }
   }

All the properties in _appSettings is null. What exactly am I doing wrong? I don’t want to use AppConfigurations.Get(WebContentDirectoryFinder.CalculateContentRootFolder()) as this does not resolve to the correct root folder when I try to deploy from VSTS to a private agent pool.

Under TestModule PreInitialize

IocManager.IocContainer.Register(Component.For<AppSettings>().UsingFactoryMethod(x => new AppSettings()
{
  //....
}));

Of course, you can also read appsetting.json in the unit test, I did not try but it should be no problem.

Oh I saw my mistake. I was using IOptionSnapShot<AppSettings> instead of IOptions<AppSettings> Thank you @maliming
