How can I add service and get setting from appsetting.json in razor class library(RCL)?

I need to add Google reCAPTCHA to my site and I achieve this by Unicorn.reCAPTCHA.AspNetCore(https://www.nuget.org/packages/Unicorn.reCAPTCHA.AspNetCore/2.2.1).

There are some sub-domain sites also. I coded an RCL to share their header/footer and some codes of reCAPTCHA.

Before the reCAPTCHA runs, it should add the service in startup.cs like this:
services.AddGoogleRecaptcha(Configuration.GetSection("RecaptchaSettings"));

And the Section in appsetting.json is just like this:
"RecaptchaSettings": {
"SiteKey": "aaaaa",
"SecretKey": "bbbb",
"Version": "v3",
"Domain": "www.recaptcha.net"
}

Now I have to add the codes above for setting the reCAPTCHA in every appsetting.json and starup.cs of the sites, and all the codes are the same, it is so troublesome.

Is there any way for me to get the setting in appsetting.json only once and add the service in RCL? Thank you.

    normally you would supply a IServiceCollection extension helper that added the configuration to the Services for DI.:

    services.AddReCAPTCHA(config);

    simple implementation 

     public static IServiceCollection AddReCaptcha(this IServiceCollection services, IConfiguration config, string sectionName = "reCaptchaOptions")  
{  
     if (!services.Any(x => x.ServiceType == typeof(ReCaptchaOptions)))  
     {  
          var ReCaptchaOptions = new ReCaptchaOptions();  
          Configuration.GetSection(sectionName).Bind(ReCaptchaOptions);   
          services.AddSingleton<ReCaptchaOptions>(ReCaptchaOptions);  
     }  
  
     return services;  
 }

    Again, RCL is just a class library and configuration can be injected into any constructor including a class library. The pattern in the link you provided is used in a service pattern. You have not provided any code that shows your service which makes providing an accurate solution difficult at best.

    however, I created an example of fetching configuration in a RCL Razor page using the official RCL and Option pattern documentation.
