How to mock IConfiguration

var configuration = new Mock<IConfiguration>();
 
var configurationSection = new Mock<IConfigurationSection>();
configurationSection.Setup(a => a.Value).Returns("testvalue");
 
configuration.Setup(a => a.GetSection("TestValueKey")).Returns(configurationSection.Object);

.NET C# Factory Pattern Using Reflection

// class implements IModelFactory -> IFactoryModel CreateInstance(string modelName)

private Dictionary<string, Type> _availableTypes;

public ModelFactory() {
    LoadTypes();
}

public IFactoryModel CreateInstance(string modelName)
{
    Type t = GetTypeToCreate(modelName);
    //NOTE: handle null here
    return Activator.CreateInstance(t) as IFactoryModel;
}

private void LoadTypes() 
{
    _availableTypes = new Dictionary<string, Type>();
    Type[] assemblyTypes = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetTypes();

    assemblyTypes.Where(x => x.GetInterface(typeof(IFactoryModel).ToString()) != null).ToList()
        .ForEach(y => _availableTypes.add(y.Name.ToLower(), y));
}

private IFactoryModel GetTypeToCreate(string name)
{
    _availableTypes.TryGetValue(name, out Type t);
    return t ?? null;
}

Dependency Injection With Multiple Implementations Of The Same Interface

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{

Enable CORS in .NET Core Web API

// Startup.cs

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddCors(options =>
    {
        options
            .AddPolicy("CorsPolicy", builder => builder
            .WithOrigins("http://localhost:4200")
            .AllowAnyMethod()
            .AllowAnyHeader()
            .AllowCredentials());
        });
    }
}

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IApiVersionDescriptionProvider provider)
{
    app.UseCors("CorsPolicy");
}
