varsub

To variable substitution in json files, we used the FileTransform task in our CD pipelines. Unfortunately, it does not allow you to process multiple .zip files at once. (Although it supports GLOB pattern, but the result of the pattern must be exactly one file)

This is very important to us. And that’s why the varsub dotnet tool was created.

It is a dotnet tool, so it can be installed as follows:

dotnet tool install -g Kros.VariableSubstitution

If you want to replace the variables in the json file with environment variables, you can do so with a simple command:

varsub -w d:\Projects\artifacts -j **/appsettings.json

You can find more information about the parameters directly in the repository. Kros-sk/Kros.VariableSubstitution
