Overview of this book

An Atypical ASP.NET Core 6 Design Patterns Guide, Second Edition approaches programming like playing with LEGO®: snapping small pieces together to create something beautiful. Thoroughly updated for ASP.NET Core 6, with further coverage of microservices patterns, data contracts, and event-driven architecture, this book gives you the tools to build and glue reliable components together to improve your programmatic masterpieces. The chapters are organized based on scale and topic, allowing you to start small and build on a strong base, the same way that you would develop a program. You will begin by exploring basic design patterns, SOLID architectural principles, dependency injection, and other ASP.NET Core 6 mechanisms. You will explore component-scale patterns, and then move to higher level application-scale patterns and techniques to better structure your applications. Finally, you'll advance to the client side to connect the dots with tools like Blazor and make ASP.NET Core a viable full-stack web development framework. You will supplement your learning with practical use cases and best practices, exploring a range of significant Gang of Four (GoF) design patterns along the way. By the end of the book, you will be comfortable combining and implementing patterns in different ways, and crafting software solutions of any scale.

Options and Logging Patterns

This chapter covers .NET-specific patterns that close the Designing for ASP.NET Core section of the book. The Options pattern and logging features are two more building blocks of most applications that come built in and that are extensible. We explore these abstractions while keeping it to a level where we use them, not master every aspect of them. Once you’ve read this chapter, you should know how to leverage the .NET options and settings infrastructure, as well as how to write application logs. We also briefly explore how to customize those systems.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • The Options pattern
  • Becoming familiar with .NET logging abstractions
