The library allows you to parse JSON string in to object. If any of field won't be filled by json structure an Exception will throw.

First of all, SettingsUrl environment variable should contains URL or path to the file which contains the settings Json. Next, there is the only one static generic method, which you need to load the settings, set options for slack notifications to send failed depencencies checks:

 var model = Configuration.LoadSettings<ModelClass>(options => {
    options.SetConnString(x => x.SlackNotifications.ConnString);
    options.SetQueueName(x => x.SlackNotifications.QueueName);
    options.SenderName = "SenderName";
 });

If your model assume to have fields which could be filled or not you can always use the [Optional] attribute. In this case if your json string is not contain the field, exception won't be threw.

public ModelClass {
//....
 [Optional]
 public string OptionalProperty { get; set; }
//....
}

Attributes HttpCheck, TcpCheck, AmqpCheck can be used to check connections to the services during startup. HttpCheck attribute is used to make a GET call. TcpCheck establishes a TCP connection for the check. AmqpCheck checks connection to rabbit mq.

HttpCheck example:

[HttpCheck("/api/isalive")]
public string ServiceUrl { get; set; } // http://some.service

[TcpCheck]
public string Host{ get; set; } // 127.0.0.1:8888

[TcpCheck("Port")]
public string Host { get; set; } // 127.0.0.1
public int Port{ get; set; } // 8888

[TcpCheck(8888)]
public string Host { get; set; } // 127.0.0.1

AmqpCheck example:

[AmqpCheck]
public string RabbitMq { get; set; } // amqp://user:pass@localhost:5672
