How to access IConfiguration property from Controller in ASP.NET 5

Question

I am interested how can I access the public IConfiguration Configuration { get; set; } from the controller ?
Is it possible to do something like ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["keyName"]

UPDATE

I tried with this approach but I am getting Unable to resolve service for type 'Microsoft.Framework.ConfigurationModel.IConfiguration'

public class MyController
{
    private IConfiguration _configuration;

    public MyController(IConfiguration configuration)
    {
        _configuration = configuration;
    }
}

I tried adding services.Configure<IConfiguration>(Configuration); in the ConfigureServices method.

in startup.cs you should try that instead `services.Add(new ServiceDescriptor(typeof(IConfiguration), Configuration));` — baywet, Feb 25 '16 at 18:00

You should use dependency injection to inject it through your controller constructor.

public class MyController
{
    private IConfiguration _configuration;

    public MyController(IConfiguration configuration)
    {
        _configuration = configuration;
    }
}

You'll need to register it in your container in `Startup.cs` as well then. – Chris Sainty Jun 09 '15 at 13:27
I added update on this one. I tried it, but doesn't seems that I am doing it properly. – zoranpro Jun 09 '15 at 13:40
@ChrisSainty should I register it using `AddSingleton`? Please update your answer explaining how to register it. – Shimmy Weitzhandler Jul 22 '15 at 14:54
