How to fix builder.Configuration in asp.net 7

Question

Hello. As you can see, I am passing the builder.Configuration as an argument to my ConfigureIdentityServices and AddInfrastructureServices functions. When I run the program the jwtKey variable is null and when I access the IConfigurationSection of the builder.Configuration it has its value.

The truth is that I don't know how to explain the situation correctly, so I leave you with images.

I'm using .net 7

At this point i pass the builder.Configuration as argument.

At this point builder.Configuration has all the values of JwtSettings, but when I try to get it, it returns null.

Can anybody help me? Thank you so much!

Answer 1

configuration.GetSection("sectionname") return a new Configuration with only the section values. "JwtSettings:Key" is probably a property and not a section. you can use the .Bind(object) to bind the parameters to an object.

var jwtSettings = new JwtSettings();
configuration.GetSection("JwtSettings").bind(jwtSettings);
var key = jwtSettings.Key;

your next line uses the options pattern, and you need to define an options class:
