henrihs / LightInject.Microsoft.DependencyInjection

Implements Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstraction

LightInject.Microsoft.DependencyInjection

Enables LightInject to be used as the service container in ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework 7 applications.

Installing

"dependencies": {
  "LightInject.Microsoft.DependencyInjection": "<version>"
}

Usage

public class Startup
{       
    public IServiceProvider ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        var container = new ServiceContainer();
        return container.CreateServiceProvider(services);
    }
    
    public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
    {          
        app.Run(async (context) =>
        {
            await context.Response.WriteAsync("Hello from LightInject");
        });
    }
}

Controllers

By default, controllers are not actually created by LightInject. They are created by the ASP.NET infrastructure and uses LightInject to resolve its dependencies. To enable LightInject to create the controller instances, we need to add the following line.

services.AddMvc().AddControllersAsServices();

.Net Core 2.0

Requirements:

• >= LightInject 5.1.0
• >= LightInject.Microsoft.DependencyInjection 2.0.3

In addition we need to turn of propertyinjection

var containerOptions = new ContainerOptions { EnablePropertyInjection = false } 
var container = new ServiceContainer(containerOptions);
