Namespace Codebelt.Bootstrapper.Console

The Codebelt.Bootstrapper.Console namespace delivers the console-specific implementation of the Codebelt bootstrapper, including ConsoleProgram<TStartup>/ConsoleStartup for the conventional Program/Startup pair and MinimalConsoleProgram for the minimal-host model.

Use it when the host is a console application — a long-running daemon, a cron-style job, or a CLI process — and you want the BootstrapperLifetime callbacks (OnApplicationStartedCallback, OnApplicationStoppingCallback, OnApplicationStoppedCallback) to surface in your Startup so you can log and tear down cleanly. The minimal variant reflects over the entry assembly to discover a concrete MinimalConsoleProgram type, so the project keeps a clean Program.cs while still hosting a real application model.

If you are starting a new console application, start with MinimalConsoleProgram and its CreateHostBuilder helper — it composes UseBootstrapperLifetime, UseBootstrapperEnvironmentDefaults, UseBootstrapperProgram, and UseMinimalConsoleProgram in one call. If you are keeping the conventional Program.cs/Startup.cs split, start with ConsoleProgram<TStartup> and pair it with ConsoleStartup to register services and override RunAsync.

Availability: .NET 10 and .NET 9
