Getting started

Install the package:

dotnet add package Eigenverft.NetLib.Infrastructure

The normal entry point is the Generic Host builder extension:

using Eigenverft.NetLib.Infrastructure.Hosting.DirectoryLayout;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;

HostApplicationBuilder builder = Host.CreateApplicationBuilder(args);

builder.AddDefaultDirectoryLayout();
IAppDirectoryLayout directories = builder.GetDirectoryLayout();

using IHost host = builder.Build();
await host.RunAsync();

The default layout is rooted at AppContext.BaseDirectory and creates AppLogs, AppData, AppState, AppProtectionKeys, AppCerts, and AppSettings. Every mapped directory is created and checked for write access during registration.

After Build(), the same layout is available as IAppDirectoryLayout through normal constructor injection.

Custom names

builder.AddDefaultDirectoryLayout(
    new Dictionary<DefaultDirectory, string>
    {
        [DefaultDirectory.ApplicationData] = "Data",
        [DefaultDirectory.ApplicationLogFiles] = "Logs",
    });

For a completely custom semantic layout, use AddDirectoryLayout(...).

Without Generic Host

AppDirectoryLayout directories = AppDirectoryLayoutFactory.CreateDefault();

The factory also accepts an explicit root path for tools, tests, and custom bootstrap scenarios.
