Binding IConfiguration property in the ConfigurationBinder

[armandjnbg]

Hello everybody,

I defined the following configuration option class for use with Options pattern:

public class RouteOptions
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Local { get; set; }
public string Remote { get; set; }
public string HttpClientName { get; set; }
. . .
public IConfiguration Extra { get; set; }
}

The "Extra" field by my design would include various extra settings that will be accessed by business logic located outside of my code, e.g. plugins written by other developers. I was expecting this to work, but to my surprise, this property is never assigned.

Probably it is very easy to bind this field it does not require any conversion, just assign GetSection("propertyName") to the property.

Is it possible to introduce this functionality?

I think it is essential.

With best regards,
Arman

This is not a topic for debate, but a question/feature ask. I would suggest you file an issue instead.
