#Platform Abstractions
The Platform Abstraction was good piece of technology in ASP.NET Core 1, this component was contain a bunch of the APIs related to the application environment.
But after a long discussion here to remove this component completely from ASP.NET Core, today I would like to say goodbye Platform Abstractions!! because this component will no longer available in ASP.NET Core 2.0.
Equivalent APIs
The first question may asked after reading the blog post title is: what is the equavalent APIs for Platform Abstractions? let me show you the replacing APIs usage below:
PlatformServices.Default.Application.ApplicationBasePath
AppContext.BaseDirectory
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory
PlatformServices.Default.Application.ApplicationName
Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetName().Name
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ApplicationName
PlatformServices.Default.Application.ApplicationVersion
Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetName().Version
PlatformServices.Default.Application.RuntimeFramework
Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetCustomAttribute<TargetFrameworkAttribute>().FrameworkName
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.TargetFrameworkName
IMHO this is the right choice in the right time to remove this component, because Reflection APIs nowadays is rich enough in .NET Core to accomplish the same goal.
