Settings

Important:

If you are running Sitecore 7.5 or higher, consider using Sitecore.Abstractions.ISettings interface from the Sitecore.Abstractions assembly.

In some cases you may prefer to use a setting instead of a dependency injected in your code via a constructor or property. The code below instantiates the new Db context and sets MySetting setting value to 1234. Please note that the setting is not defined explicitly in the App.config file, but it is accessible via the Sitecore.Configuration.Settings class and can be used in the unit tests:

[Fact]
public void HowToConfigureSettings()
{
  using (Sitecore.FakeDb.Db db = new Sitecore.FakeDb.Db())
  {
    // set the setting value in unit test using db instance
    db.Configuration.Settings["MySetting"] = "1234";

    // get the setting value in your code using regular Sitecore API
    var value = Sitecore.Configuration.Settings.GetSetting("MySetting");
    Xunit.Assert.Equal("1234", value);
  }
}
