Bind Key Vault settings to class

Question

In ASP.NET Core, if reading configuration from a JSON app.settings file I can bind a section to an object like this:

services.Configure<MyPocoConfig>(Configuration.GetSection("Section"))

Is there a straightforward way to do this with a group of settings that are read from Azure Key Vault? I am following the guide as described in the MSDN documentation here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/vs-key-vault-add-connected-service#access-your-secrets-in-code

I can manually map them like this:

services.Configure<MyPocoConfig>(myPoco =>
                {
                    myPoco.Option1 = Configuration["Option1"];
                    myPoco.Option2 = Configuration["Option2"];
                });

I just wondered if there was a way to automap them as it works for config stored in app.settings JSON. I'm sure it could be done with reflection but I was hoping there'd be a built in way.

I tried putting the settings into a category using the category--setting syntax described in the article and reading them with services.Configure<MyPocoConfig>(Configuration.GetSection("category")), but this doesn't work.

Edit:

It is now possible as of 2020 to put settings into a category using the category--setting syntax and read them like services.Configure<MyPocoConfig>(Configuration.GetSection("category"))

Answer 1

You can achieve the same by naming your Secret in the following pattern.

 Section--Option1
 Section--Option2

And you can use the following to get the values by section and .NetCore automatically maps it.

services.Configure<MyPocoConfig>(Configuration.GetSection("Section"))
