Sometimes you just want very simple configuration that doesn't suck, without bringing in a whole set of packages for it, so you can hit go as quickly as possible.

ConsulStructure ships as a source-code package, so you don't add more pressure to your dependency graph.

You will be able to add the code through nuget, when I publish it.

Install-Package ConsulStructure

To start receiving updates from Consul into your settings, it's one line, no dependencies, no frills.

var configuration = my ProjectConfiguration {
  MyValue = "a very good value", // key: /myvalue
  Subconfiguration = {
    IsStructureAwesome = true // key: /subconfiguration/isstructureawesome
  }
};
var updater = Structure.New(configuration);

Your configuration class can have any level of nesting, it's up to you what it looks like. Any change to consul is reflected immediately in your class.

Currently, Structure supports nesting, and a couple of base data types for keys, bool, string, int. As consul only sees values as byte arrays, Converters are customisable to match your needs.

On starting up, Structure pre-compiles all the keys in your system, so there is no run-time reflection. It then does a continuous polling on the agent's HTTP API, to receive values as soon as they become available.

Whenever a key is updated, the value is assigned immediately, and fast. The data is parsed as json using the excellent SimpleJson library.

• Test HTTP part of the library
• Create AppVeyor / Travis build
• Create nuget package
• Add all base datatype converters
• Add converters for go's way of writing data (dates and timespans come to mind)

This project is inspired by the excellent functionality provided by the Go-based [consulstructure](https://github.com/mitchellh/consulstructure/], and uses SimpleJson for embeded json serialisation.
