Application Configuration Random Values

This tutorial takes you through setting up a .NET Core application that gets a random value for a config setting.

Note

For more detailed examples, please refer to the RandomValue project in the Steeltoe Samples Repository.

First, create a .NET Core WebAPI that has a placeholder implemented.

  1. Create a new ASP.NET Core WebAPI app with the Steeltoe Initializr
  2. Name the project "RandomValueExample"
  3. Add the "Random value" dependency
  4. Click Generate Project to download a zip containing the new project
  5. Extract the zipped project and open in your IDE of choice (we use Visual Studio)

Run the application

dotnet run <PATH_TO>\RandomValueExample.csproj

Navigate to the endpoint (you may need to change the port number) http://localhost:5000/api/values

Once the app loads in the browser you will see three random values output.

["<INTEGER>","<UUID>","<STRING>"]
