ASP.NET Core environment aware strongly typed configuration in MongoDB

This is targetted to save in MongoDB but the technique can be used in any targetted backend with key value setting based on  IConfigurationProvider Data property. Basically, the provided interface works based Data property having a type as IDictionary<string, string>. So, whatever class we create it has to be serialized based on same. We would simplify this by creating an abstract class to have certain serialization logic. This is sample setting for the application. If you check the structure,  Setting is the main class and nested items are Azure, Message, Email, Twilio. The key value needs to be composed based on parent and child classes separated by colons. Just like above, we need to populate settings from our different setting classes. Implementation can be grouped in these sections. - Application level configuration classes. - Registration of configuration on ASP.NET Core. - Environment level configuration, this would little mixed with abo...

Global exception handling and custom logging in AspNet Core with MongoDB

In this, we would be looking into logging and global exception handling in the AspNet Core application with proper registration of logger and global exception handling. Custom logging The first step is to create a data model that we want to save into DB. Error log Data model These are few properties to do logging which could be extended or reduced based on need. public class ErrorLog { /// <summary> /// Gets or sets the Error log identifier. /// </summary> /// <value> /// The Error log identifier. /// </value> [BsonRepresentation(BsonType.ObjectId)] public ObjectId Id { get; set; /// <summary> /// Gets or sets the date. /// </summary> /// <value> /// The date. /// </value> public DateTime Date { get; set; } /// <summary> /// Gets or sets the thread. /// </summary> ...

MongoDB navigation property or making it behave as ORM in .Net

This is an implementation to make models to have  navigation properties work like ORM does for us. What actually happens in ORM to make navigation properties work? Entity Framework has proxy classes implementation to allow lazy loading and eager loading implementation. While creating proxy classes it also changes definitions for actual classes to make navigation properties work to get values based on Model's for navigation properties. Most of ORMs work in same fashion like Telerik DataAccess has enhancer tool which changes class definition at compile time to enable navigation properties. In this implementation, we would retain the original class but we would have extension methods to allow initializing properties to have navigation proprieties work. Let's first create desire model on which we need to implement. I am picking up simple one-to-many relationship example from Person to Address. public class Person { public int PersonId { get; set; } ...
