Dependency Injection in .Net Core

Dependency injection is a design pattern that allows for loosely coupled and maintainable applications by separating class dependencies from implementations. In .NET Core, dependency injection is a built-in feature that defines interfaces for services, implements those services as classes, configures services for injection in Startup.cs, injects services via constructors, and allows for using injected services. Following these steps achieves inversion of control and makes code more modular and testable.

Dependency Injection (DI) is a design pattern and a fundamental concept in software

development that allows you to create loosely coupled and maintainable applications by
separating the dependencies of a class from its implementation. In .NET Core (now
known as .NET 5 and later), dependency injection is a built-in feature that makes it easy
to implement this pattern.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use Dependency Injection in .NET Core:

1. Create an Interface: Define an interface that represents the contract of the


service you want to inject. For example:
csharpCopy code
public interface IMyService { void DoSomething() ; }
2. Implement the Service: Create a class that implements the interface you
defined:
csharpCopy code
public class MyService : IMyService { public void DoSomething() { // Implementation logic here } }
3. Configure Dependency Injection: In your application's Startup.cs file, configure
the services you want to inject in the ConfigureServices method. This method is
typically called when your application starts:
csharpCopy code
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { services.AddScoped<IMyService,
MyService>(); // Add other services as needed }
In the above code, we're registering IMyService and specifying that MyService
should be used when resolving instances of IMyService. There are different types
of lifetime scopes ( AddScoped, AddTransient , AddSingleton ) that control how long
instances of services are kept alive.
4. Inject the Service: In your controller, service, or other classes where you need to
use the service, declare a constructor that takes the interface as a parameter:
csharpCopy code
public class MyController : Controller { private readonly IMyService _myService; public
MyController(IMyService myService) { _myService = myService; } // ... }
The DI container will automatically inject the appropriate implementation
(MyService in this case) when you instantiate MyController.
5. Use the Injected Service: You can now use the injected service within your
controller or class:
csharpCopy code
public IActionResult MyAction() { _myService.DoSomething(); // ... }

By following these steps, you achieve inversion of control and make your code more
modular and testable, as you can easily substitute implementations for testing or
swapping out components.
Remember that dependency injection is a powerful tool for managing dependencies in
your application, and .NET Core makes it easy to implement. Additionally, you can use
more advanced features like constructor injection, property injection, and custom
scopes based on your specific requirements.
