Support in Net Core Asp.Net

[gregoriusus]

I am using SmartFormat in Net Core AspNet project.

I have own extension that I register it on startup globally:
Smart.Default.AddExtension

But ThreadStaticAttribute on Smart.Default prevents from reliably registering extensions globally as for each new thread my extension is not available because Smart.Default is newly created.

Is there some workaround, where I can set extension globally and it is picked up whenever CreateDefaultSmartFormat is called?

Maybe like SmartSettings.AddDefaultExtensions and those extension will be added on each new thread...

With AspNet Core and SmartFormat 3.5.3 you could provide the configured formatter for DI like this:

services.AddTransient<SmartFormatter>(sp =>
{
    var smart = new SmartFormatter(new SmartSettings {

        // Configure the SmartSettings here if needed
    });

    // Configure the SmartFormatter here if needed
    smart.AddExtensions(SmartFormat.Extensions.GlobalVariablesSource.Instance);

    return smart;
});

The upcoming SmartFormat 3.6 aims to be thread-safe, so it could be added as singleton.

Yes, I know I can use DI, but then I would have to declare it on every controller, pass it to services etc... It is easier as static :-)

So, upcoming SmartFormat will be thread safe, so it will not be generated with each thread?

upcoming SmartFormat will be thread safe

To be precise, the Parser.ParseFormat(...) and SmartFormatter.Format...() methods will be thread-safe.
v3.6.0 has just been published on NuGet. Please see more details in the Release Notes

Just tried 3.6.0 and it works. Tested in ASP.NET Core. I just add extensions on startup and I do not need to readd it for each thread. Thanks
