How to configure Web.config in Cordova project?

Question

In that question I was recommended to configure the web.config of my project Cordova that uses Ajax. I searched on the subject but found nothing of the kind. Someone can help me?

Answer 1

Define in your Web.config the following:

<configuration>
  ...
  <appSettings>
    ...
    <add key="BaseURL" value="http://localhost:12345/" />
  </appSettings>
</configuration>

Retrieving the information:

using System.Configuration;

var baseUrl = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["BaseURL"];

When deploying, the information can be changed through transformation files. In the project, two are created as an example: Web.debug.config and Web.Release.config. In case, to change BaseURL, configuration is as follows for a file Web.Release.config:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
  <appSettings>
    <add key="BaseURL" value="http://urldomeusite.com.br" xdt:Transform="SetAttributes" xdt:Locator="Match(key)" />
  </appSettings>
  <system.web>
    <compilation xdt:Transform="RemoveAttributes(debug)" />
  </system.web>
</configuration>
