This accompanies PR BrighterCommand/Brighter#3952 and should not be merged until that PR is merged.

This pull request adds comprehensive documentation for advanced configuration patterns using service provider overloads and the Microsoft Options pattern in Brighter. The updates explain how to leverage deferred service resolution and test-specific configuration for improved flexibility and parallel test execution, both in general Brighter configuration and when using in-memory options for testing.

Configuration Patterns and Testability Enhancements:

  • Added a new section in BrighterBasicConfiguration.md documenting the use of Func<IServiceProvider, T> overloads for AddBrighter, AddProducers, and AddConsumers, enabling deferred resolution and runtime access to services from the DI container.
  • Provided examples and explanations for integrating Brighter with the Microsoft Options pattern, including Configure<T> and PostConfigure<T> for environment-specific and test-specific overrides.
  • Documented best practices for parallel test execution, showing how isolated service providers and post-configuration enable tests to run concurrently without static state conflicts. [1] [2]

In-Memory Testing Guidance:

  • Added a "Test Configuration Patterns" section to InMemoryOptions.md, with code samples illustrating how to use service provider overloads and the Options pattern for isolated, parallelizable test setups.
  • Linked to relevant sections in BrighterBasicConfiguration.md for further reading on advanced configuration and test patterns.
