asp.net-core Dependency Injection Resolve Controllers, ViewComponents and TagHelpers via Dependency Injection
Example
By default Controllers, ViewComponents and TagHelpers aren't registered and resolved via the dependency injection container. This results in the inability to do i.e. property injection when using a 3rd party Inversion of Control (IoC) container like AutoFac.
In order to make ASP.NET Core MVC resolve these Types via IoC too, one needs to add the following registrations in the Startup.cs (taken from the official ControllersFromService sample on GitHub)
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
var builder = services
.AddMvc()
.ConfigureApplicationPartManager(manager => manager.ApplicationParts.Clear())
.AddApplicationPart(typeof(TimeScheduleController).GetTypeInfo().Assembly)
.ConfigureApplicationPartManager(manager =>
{
manager.ApplicationParts.Add(new TypesPart(
typeof(AnotherController),
typeof(ComponentFromServicesViewComponent),
typeof(InServicesTagHelper)));
manager.FeatureProviders.Add(new AssemblyMetadataReferenceFeatureProvider());
})
.AddControllersAsServices()
.AddViewComponentsAsServices()
.AddTagHelpersAsServices();
services.AddTransient<QueryValueService>();
services.AddTransient<ValueService>();
services.AddSingleton<IHttpContextAccessor, HttpContextAccessor>();
}
