Use shared provider instance

Requires: main module.

Configuration provider class has a property named Default that serves as a global static source of IConfigurationProvider instance.

It's intended use case is self-sufficient configuration in libraries: library authors may not want to force their users to provide an IConfigurationProvider instance each time they're using library classes. Instead, these classes could just obtain a log from the shared property:

ConfigurationProvider.Default.SetupSourceFor<MyLibrarySettings>(...);

var settings = ConfigurationProvider.Default.Get<MyLibrarySettings>();

By default this property returns a singleton provider with default settings. It can be configured explicitly in the application:

var providerSettings = new ConfigurationProviderSettings { ... };
var provider = new ConfigurationProvider(providerSettings);

// Will return false if already explicitly configured:
ConfigurationProvider.TrySetDefault(provider);
