How to get the Development/Staging/production Hosting Environment in ConfigureServices

Question

How do I get the Development/Staging/production Hosting Environment in the ConfigureServices method in Startup?

public void ConfigureServices(IS         


        

Answer 1

In Dotnet Core 2.0 the Startup-constructor only expects a IConfiguration-parameter.

    public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
    {
        Configuration = configuration;
    }

How to read hosting environment there? I store it in Program-class during ConfigureAppConfiguration (use full BuildWebHost instead of WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder):

public class Program
{
    public static IHostingEnvironment HostingEnvironment { get; set; }

    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Build web host
        var host = BuildWebHost(args);

        host.Run();
    }

    public static IWebHost BuildWebHost(string[] args)
    {
        return new WebHostBuilder()
            .UseConfiguration(new ConfigurationBuilder()
                .SetBasePath(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())
                .AddJsonFile("hosting.json", optional: true)
                .Build()
            )
            .UseKestrel()
            .UseContentRoot(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())
            .ConfigureAppConfiguration((hostingContext, config) =>
            {
                var env = hostingContext.HostingEnvironment;

                // Assigning the environment for use in ConfigureServices
                HostingEnvironment = env; // <---

                config
                  .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true)
                  .AddJsonFile($"appsettings.{env.EnvironmentName}.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true);

                if (env.IsDevelopment())
                {
                    var appAssembly = Assembly.Load(new AssemblyName(env.ApplicationName));
                    if (appAssembly != null)
                    {
                        config.AddUserSecrets(appAssembly, optional: true);
                    }
                }

                config.AddEnvironmentVariables();

                if (args != null)
                {
                    config.AddCommandLine(args);
                }
            })
            .ConfigureLogging((hostingContext, builder) =>
            {
                builder.AddConfiguration(hostingContext.Configuration.GetSection("Logging"));
                builder.AddConsole();
                builder.AddDebug();
            })
            .UseIISIntegration()
            .UseDefaultServiceProvider((context, options) =>
            {
                options.ValidateScopes = context.HostingEnvironment.IsDevelopment();
            })
            .UseStartup()
            .Build();
    }

Ant then reads it in ConfigureServices like this:

public IServiceProvider ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    var isDevelopment = Program.HostingEnvironment.IsDevelopment();
}
