Discussion on: Learn how YOU can manage your app configuration in ASP .NET Core

I saw a nice option to add a helper class with AppSettings properties so I won't have to use strings all the time

hey.. Are you saying GetSection() and use bind() to a type isn't enough? One nice solution (that some libs use) is extension methods like so:

public static string GetMyProperty(this IConfiguration configuration)
    {
        string result = configuration.GetValue<string>("My:Key");
        return result;
    }

// usage
configuration.GetMyProperty()
