Configure from code instead of config files

[RobertHajbok]

Expected Behavior / New Feature

Is there any possibility to configure Ocelot from code, maybe in Startup.cs? If not, is it in the roadmap, are you intending to add this in the future?

Actual Behavior / Motivation for New Feature

Routes cannot be configured from the code, only from config files.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

Follow any setup guide from documentation.

Specifications

• Version: 16.0.1
• Platform: ASP.NET 5.0

We did that long time ago by providing a custom IOptionsMonitor<FileConfiguration> implementation that was reading and building a custom Ocelot's file configuration from database instead of a file.
Here is how Ocelot registers to handle its file based configuration updates:

Ocelot/src/Ocelot/Middleware/OcelotMiddlewareExtensions.cs

Line 79 in 3ef6abd

var fileConfig = builder.ApplicationServices.GetService<IOptionsMonitor<FileConfiguration>>();

All we did is implemented our own version of it (old code but will give you a basic idea):

Hacked solution which is very specific and it has complex design.
But I love it!

@RobertHajbok Hi Robert!
Since version 20.0 we have new DI extension for injection of a FileConfiguration object being constructed manually from any storages and sources including databases.
Signature:

public static IConfigurationBuilder AddOcelot(this IConfigurationBuilder builder, FileConfiguration fileConfiguration) {}
