                        private readonly ApplicationSettingsModel _settings;
                        private readonly string _puddingString;
                        private readonly IOptions _options;

                        _configuration = configuration;
                        _puddingString = string.Empty;
                        _settings = new ApplicationSettingsModel();
                        _puddingString = _configuration.GetValue("CustomSettings:Pudding") ?? null;
                        _settings.Pudding = _puddingString ?? null;
