Startup.Core is a simple startup framework for .NET Core services, mimicking semantics of ASP.NET Core startup.

Its main purpose is to ensure services are properly .Dispose()ed when the process receives a shutdown signal.

You can get this library as a NuGet Package.

To use it, first implement the IStartup interface like this:

class Startup : IStartup
{
    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) => services
        .AddLogging()
        .AddOptions()
        .Configure<MyOptions>(Configuration.GetSection("MyOptions"))
        .AddTransient<IMyService, MyService>()
        .BuildServiceProvider();

    public void Configure(IServiceProvider provider)
    {
        provider.GetService<IMyService>().DoSomething();
    }
}

Then add this to your Program.cs file:

public static void Main() => Host.Run<Startup>();

Run build.ps1 to compile the source code and create NuGet packages.

This script takes a version number as an input argument. The source code itself contains no version numbers. Instead version numbers should be determined at build time using GitVersion.
