Use Case

Pseudo code:

output = "some@kind@of@weird@input".split('@')[0];

A couple possible responses you might have to seeing this kind of code a lot in the codebase you're working on:

public sealed class PaginatedResults<T>
{
    public required IReadOnlyList<T> Results { get; init; }
    public required int Page { get; init; }
    public required int PageSize { get; init; }
    public required int TotalCount { get; init; }

    public int TotalPages => (int)Math.Ceiling(TotalCount / (double)PageSize);
}

Creating an App Service w/ Key Vault & Application Insights

1. Create your App Service, Key Vault, and Application Insights

   1. Copy the Key Vault's "Vault URI" for later
   2. Copy the Application Insights' "Connection String" for later

2. In the App Service's "Identity", turn the "System assigned" "Status" to "On"

3. In the App Service's "Configuration", create a "New application setting" with value "KeyVaultURI", and value of the "Vault URI" you copied in step 1
