1. Unity
2. SOLID: Dependency inversion principle • Entities must depend on abstractions, not on concretions
3. Dependency Injection • Dependency injection is a technique whereby one object supplies the dependencies of another object. • A dependency is an object that can be used (a service). • An injection is the passing of a dependency to a dependent object (a client) that would use it. • The service is made part of the client's state.
4. public interface ISpellChecker { bool CheckSpelling(); } public class SpellChecker : ISpellChecker { public bool CheckSpelling() { throw new NotImplementedException(); } } Interfaces
5. public class TextEditorNoDi { private readonly SpellChecker _spellChecker; public TextEditorNoDi() { _spellChecker = new SpellChecker(); } private void CheckSpelling() { _spellChecker.CheckSpelling(); } } Poor mans DI
6. public class TextEditor { private readonly ISpellChecker _spellChecker; public TextEditor(ISpellChecker spellChecker) { _spellChecker = spellChecker; } private void CheckSpelling() { _spellChecker.CheckSpelling(); } } Constructor Injection
7. var container = new UnityContainer(); container.RegisterType<IDemo, Demo>(new HierarchicalLifetimeManager()); var demoA = container.Resolve<IDemo>(); Unity
8. public class Child : IChild { } public class Parent : IParent { public Parent(IChild child) { } } private void Demo() { var container = new UnityContainer(); container.RegisterType<IChild, Child>(); container.RegisterType<IParent, Parent>(); var parent = container.Resolve<IParent>(); } Dependency Tree
9. LifetimeManagers • TransientLifetimeManager • Returns a new instance of the requested type for each call. (default behavior) • ContainerControlledLifetimeManager • Implements a singleton behavior for objects. The object is disposed of when you dispose of the container • ExternallyControlledLifetimeManager • Implements a singleton behavior but the container doesn't hold a reference to object which will be disposed of when out of scope
10. LifetimeManagers • HierarchicalifetimeManager • Implements a singleton behavior for objects. However, child containers don't share instances with parents • PerResolveLifetimeManager • Implements a behavior similar to the transient lifetime manager except that instances are reused across build-ups of the object graph • PerThreadLifetimeManager • Implements a singleton behavior for objects but limited to the current thread
