Secret Management

NOTE: This should only be used for development purposes

Instead of using "appsettings.*.json" for managing environment variables or user secrets we have opted to utilize the .NET Secret Manager for development purposes. For more information see .NET Secret Manager

Quick Start

In terms of the MESS project you should not have to initial the Secret Manager since it will already be in each appropriate project. However, in the case that the Secret Manager is being redone use the following command:

Instantiate User Manager (New Projects only)
dotnet user-secrets init
Set a secret
dotnet user-secrets set "Key" "Value"

Example

dotnet user-secrets set "DatabaseConnection" "Data Source = 123456.db"

Setup Development Database connection

dotnet user-secrets set "ConnectionStrings:MESSConnection" "Data Source=developmentMESSDb.db"
