Module Service configuration settings (connection strings)

I'm implementing iServerStartup to get a RepoDB context established. Typically, I'd pull this from the appconfig.json during startup from the Iconfiguration parameter. Where can I get access to the configuration in my module?

I am not sure why you are using IServerStartup? If you look at any of the sample modules or use the Module Creator you will see the pattern for connecting to a database from your module code.

I'm trying to access a different database and not using entity framework. We'll be hooking into a few data sources and have about 6 connectionstrings total. We are also using the integrated one for the modules and it works great!

Why not retrieve the connection string within your DBContext:

protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
{
  optionsBuilder.UseSqlServer(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["YourDatabase"].ConnectionString);
}

[markdav-is]

I'll try doing that!

@sbwalker where are you getting your ConfigurationManager? Is that from a DI constructor?

[sbwalker]

Yes you should always DI in .NET Core
