Checkout the quickstart to get an idea of the basics.

ConfigR does plenty more! Features include the ability to specify the path of your configuration file(s), multiple cascading configuration files and custom configurators. Checkout the samples for more info.

TIP: you can write any C# you like in your 'configuration file' 😉. The Roslyn #load and #r features are both supported for loading scripts and referencing assemblies.

Releases will be pushed regularly to NuGet.

To build manually, clone or fork this repository and see 'How to build'.

Absolutely! Please feel free to raise issues, fork the source code, send pull requests, etc.

No pull request is too small. Even whitespace fixes are appreciated. Before you contribute anything make sure you read CONTRIBUTING.md.

Navigate to your clone root folder and execute build.cmd. The only prerequisite you need is MSBuild 14, which is also included in Visual Studio 2015.

build.cmd executes the default build targets which include compilation, test execution and packaging. After the build has completed, the build artifacts will be located in artifacts/output/.

You can also build the solution using Visual Studio 2015 or later. At the time of writing the build is only confirmed to work on Windows using the Microsoft .NET framework.
