Properties

CoLoadedSeedEmailOverride

When set (e.g. in appsettings.Development.json), the co-loaded seed user and mock household keyed to that user use this email instead of EmailPattern. Remove or leave empty to use the default pattern. If you already have co-loaded@example.com in the database, delete that user or clear seeded data before re-seeding.

public string? CoLoadedSeedEmailOverride { get; set; }

Property Value

string

EmailPattern

Format string for seed user emails. Use {0} as placeholder for the scenario name. Default: "{0}@example.com" (e.g., "co-loaded@example.com"). For deployed environments, set to something like "sebt.dc+{0}@codeforamerica.org".

public string EmailPattern { get; set; }

Property Value

string

EnableDevEndpoints

When true, exposes local/CI-only diagnostic endpoints such as POST /api/dev/seed/reseed/{scenarioName}. Default: false. Enable only for localhost and CI; never on deployed hosts, including public "dev" environments that still use ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development.

public bool EnableDevEndpoints { get; set; }

Property Value

bool

Enabled

When true, database seeding runs even outside the Development environment. Default: false (seeding only runs when ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT is Development).

public bool Enabled { get; set; }

Property Value

bool

SectionName

public static string SectionName { get; }

Property Value

State

The state code (e.g., "dc", "co") from the STATE environment variable. Used to conditionally seed state-specific scenarios.

public string? State { get; set; }

Property Value

string
