Net Core: access to appsettings.json values from Autofac Module

Question

AspNet core app

1) Autofac module like that

public class AutofacModule : Module
{
    protected override void Load(ContainerBuilder builder)
    {
      //Register my components. Need to access to appsettings.json values from here
    }
}

2) Module from step№1 registered into Startup.cs

public void ConfigureContainer(ContainerBuilder builder)
    {
       builder.RegisterModule(new AutofacModule());
    }

How to access to appsettings.json values from AutofacModule? I need that for create my objects inside AutofacModule and using it for DI.

Need to change step №2

        public void ConfigureContainer(ContainerBuilder builder)
    {
        //get settigns as object from config
        var someSettings= Configuration.GetSection(typeof(SomeSettings).Name).Get<SomeSettings>();                                                    
        //put settings into module constructor 
        builder.RegisterModule(new AutofacModule(someSettings));
    }

I don't know is "best practise" way or not, but it works.

So currently trying this as well.

First thing is to get the necessary nuget packages, and add them as using statements at the top of your class.

using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json;
using Autofac;
using Autofac.Configuration;
using Autofac.Extensions.DependencyInjection;

In your Program.cs Main or Startup.cs...

public static IContainer Container { get; set; }

Main() or Startup()
{

// Add the configuration to the ConfigurationBuilder.
var config = new ConfigurationBuilder();
config.AddJsonFile("appsettings.json");

var containerBuilder = new ContainerBuilder();

// Register the ConfigurationModule with Autofac.
var configurationModule = new ConfigurationModule(config.Build());

containerBuilder.RegisterModule(configurationModule);

//register anything else you need to...

Container = containerBuilder.Build();
}

This will register the configuration module into your autoFac container, after which you can then use constructor injection to pass this round...

public class YourController
{
    private readonly IContainer _config;

    public YourController(IContainer configuration)
    {
        // Use IContainer instance
        _config = configuration;
    }

Hope that helps somewhat, if you get any further a different way then please share.

@Cris Could you provide an example how to inject IConfiguration based on your response above. Because in mycase RegisterModule had no effect. — Trinitron, Jan 05 '20 at 21:53
@Trinitron same. I think maybe I misunderstand the use of `IContainer` here, too. Shouldn't it be `IConfiguration`?? — theyetiman, Jun 24 '20 at 14:26
