.NET projects

It's possible to use Magic Chunks in your .NET applications.

Steps to setup config transformations at .NET app:

Step 1: Install MagicChunks package from Nuget:

Install-Package MagicChunks

Step 2: Create new instance of MagicChunks.Core.Transformer object:

using MagicChunks.Core;

var transformer = new Transformer();

Step 3: Read source file and pass it together with transformations list to Transformer:

string result = transformer.Transform(File.ReadAllText(@"Web.config"),
  new TransformationCollection
  {
    {"configuration/system.web/authentication/@mode", "Forms"},
    {"configuration/system.web/httpRuntime", "125"}
  });

Step 4: Write result to output file.

Transformer.Transform

There are few overloads for Transform method:

• string Transform(source, transformations)
• string Transform(type, source, transformations)

TransformConfig alias parameters:

• source − path to source file.
• type − document type handler implementing IDocument interface. There are three objects implements this iterface - XmlDocument, JsonDocument, YamlDocument (default value: auto - library will detect document type automatically).
• transformations − key-valued collection of transformations.

Return value of Transform method is transformed document.
