Sites to work with?

[tbithell]

Finally have some time to get a POC of using this together and am real curious about...

"Sites": {
"SiteToWorkWith": {
"SiteUrl": "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/pnp",
"AuthenticationProviderName": "interactive"
},
}

This is concerning given our use case in which the consumer of the sdk will have a massive, ever changing list of sites.

It appears a lot like I could just send in whatever site I want for this, which would be great and makes my concern moot/makes me real curious why it's there.

using (var context = await pnpContextFactory.CreateAsync("SiteToWorkWith"))
{
// do the things...
}

@tbithell , sorry for the late response, GitHub discussions don't show a number on top, so I missed this one.

This also works:

using (var context = await pnpContextFactory.CreateAsync(new Uri("https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/prov-1")))
{
    // do things
}

You actually do not even need a config file, below is a minimal setup without config file:

class Program
{
    public static async Task Main(string[] args)
    {
        var host = Host.CreateDefaultBuilder()

        // Configure PnP services
        .ConfigureServices((hostingContext, services) =>
        {
            services.AddPnPCore(options =>
            {
                options.DefaultAuthenticationProvider = new InteractiveAuthenticationProvider(
                            "<appid>",
                            "contoso.onmicrosoft.com",
                            new Uri("http://localhost"));
            });
        })

        // Let the builder know we're running in a console
        .UseConsoleLifetime()
        // Add services to the container
        .Build();

        await host.StartAsync();

        var pnpContextFactory = host.Services.GetRequiredService<IPnPContextFactory>();

        using (var context = await pnpContextFactory.CreateAsync(new Uri("https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/hr")))
        {
            await context.Web.LoadAsync(p => p.Title);
            Console.WriteLine($"Web title = {context.Web.Title}");
        }

        host.Dispose();
    }
}

Much appreciated!

Any idea how/if this works with sites.selected?
