I have a appsetting.json file that is having some api url but in that base url is repeated i want that base url to be separated but i dont want to append base url every time while reading the key from appsetting.json

Is there any mechanism to set the base url in the appsetting.json itself

What I have tried:

"url1": "https://test.com/Account/ForgotUserName",
"url2": "https://test.com/Account/ForgotPassword"

here base url is repeating and i dont want that I want that base url to be seperate

while reading I am injecting IConfiguration and then

var x=_config["url1"]

What I would do would be to define the base url (URL0) as well as the "suffix" portion of the original 2

javasript

"url0": "https://test.com/"
"url1": "Account/ForgotUserName",
"url2": "Account/ForgotPassword"

And then I would create an Extension method to combine and return those URLs

C#

using System;
using System.Text;

public static class ConfigurationExtension {
   public static string GetURL (this IConfiguration configuration, string urlName) {
      StringBuilder url = new StringBuilder()
      try {
         url.Append(configuration["URL0"]);
         url.Append(configuration[urlName]);
      }
      catch (Exception ex) {
         // your error handling
      }
      return url.ToString();
   }
}

And then to access you would simply use

C#

var x=_config.GetURL("url1");

Solution 1

Is there any issue with appending urls?
var x = _config["BaseUrl"] + _config["url1"] can be a good option where you'll keep "https://test.com/Account/" in BaseUrl key.
