Dependency injection in Hotchocolate GraphQL, ASP.NET Core - asp.net-core

Is it possible to do something like this?
Query.cs
class Query<T> : ObjectType<MyQuery<T>> where T : class
{
protected override void configure(IObjectTypeDescriptor<MyQuery<T>> descriptor)
{
descriptor
.Field(f => f.GetItems)
.Description("Return List");
}
}
public partial class MyQuery<T> where T : class
{
private readonly IGenericRepositorty _repo
public MyQuery(IGenericRepositorty repo)
{
_repo = repo;
}
public IEnumerable<T> GetItems()
{
return _repo.GetAll(); // GetAll in generic repo
}
}
Now if I am adding my service in Startup.cs as
services.AddQueryType<MyQuery<Entity>>();
It works.
But I want to add it as
services.AddQueryType<MyQuery<>>(); or kind of services.AddQueryType(typeOf(MyQuery<>));
The way we inject generic repo like this
services.AddScoped(typef(IGenericRepository<>),typeofGenericRepository<>)
So, here at run time it creates an instance.
The same way for query at run time I am trying whether it will be possible to create instance

Castle windsor wire generic irepository with 2 types

Hi I am trying to change a code example found here
http://imar.spaanjaars.com/577/aspnet-n-layered-applications-implementing-a-repository-using-ef-code-first-part-5
In his example he uses structure map, when I converted it to windsor I can get it to work with the one repository using the following.
container.Register(Component.For<IUnitOfWorkFactory>().ImplementedBy<EFUnitOfWorkFactory>(),
Component.For<IUnitOfWork>().ImplementedBy<EFUnitOfWork>(),
Component.For<Model.Repositories.IPeopleRepository>().ImplementedBy<PeopleRepository>().LifestyleTransient());
But what I really want to do is to map all the irepository based interfacees to thier implementation.
Here is the IRepository, T is the entity, K is the prmiary key type
public interface IRepository<T, K> where T : class
{
}
Its implementation Is
public abstract class Repository<T> : IRepository<T, int>, IDisposable where T : DomainEntity<int>
{
}
My controller has the interface IPeopleRepository as a constructor paramerter.
public interface IPeopleRepository : IRepository<Person, int>
{
}
public class PeopleRepository : Repository<Person>, IPeopleRepository
{
}
I want to have one register to register all repositories, something like this, but it wont match and i get the error Service 'Spaanjaars.ContactManager45.Model.Repositories.IPeopleRepository' which was not registered
container.Register(Component.For(typeof(IRepository<,>))
.ImplementedBy(typeof(Repository<>))
.LifestylePerWebRequest());
What am i missing in regards to this? is it because my irepository has 2 generic types?
In order to map all the IRepository based interfaces to their implementations .WithService.AllInterfaces() should be used.
This registration should solve your issue.
container.Register(
Classes.FromThisAssembly()
.BasedOn(typeof(IRepository<,>))
.WithService.AllInterfaces()
.LifestylePerWebRequest());
There are some tests to test it. I claim they are green.
[TestClass]
public class InstallerTest
{
private IWindsorContainer container;
[TestInitialize]
public void Init()
{
container = new WindsorContainer().Install(new Installer());
}
[TestMethod]
public void ResilveTest_ResolvesViaIRepository()
{
// act
var repository = container.Resolve<IRepository<Person, int>>();
// assert
repository.Should().BeOfType<PeopleRepository>();
}
[TestMethod]
public void ResilveTest_ResolvesViaIPeopleRepository()
{
// act
var repository = container.Resolve<IPeopleRepository>();
// assert
repository.Should().BeOfType<PeopleRepository>();
}
}
public class Installer : IWindsorInstaller
{
public void Install(IWindsorContainer container, IConfigurationStore store)
{
container.Register(
Classes.FromThisAssembly()
.BasedOn(typeof(IRepository<,>))
.WithService.AllInterfaces()
.LifestylePerThread());
}
}

Ninject: How to resolve collection from object type

Just wanted to know if there is a way bind a type and resolve a collection. I dont know if Ninject can do this out of the box. I'm using MVC4 with Ninject3 so I have the NinjectWebCommon.cs where I register the services. There is nowhere I can get the kernel (I read that it was bad practice to access the kernel from elsewhere, but that can certainly be the solution to this).
For example, I'm having this class:
public class CacheManager
{
public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> Get<T>() where T : INameValue
I want to be able to send
CacheManager.Get<City>
and obtain the CityRepository class.
Is it this you want to do? :
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Ninject;
using Ninject.Modules;
using Ninject.Syntax;
public class Temp
{
public interface ICity { }
public class SelectListItem
{
}
public class FooCity : SelectListItem, ICity { }
public class BarCity : SelectListItem, ICity {}
public class CityModule : NinjectModule
{
public override void Load()
{
this.Bind<ICity>().To<FooCity>();
this.Bind<ICity>().To<BarCity>();
}
}
public class CacheManager
{
private readonly IResolutionRoot resolutionRoot;
public CacheManager(IResolutionRoot resolutionRoot)
{
this.resolutionRoot = resolutionRoot;
}
public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> Get<T>()
{
return this.resolutionRoot.GetAll<T>().OfType<SelectListItem>();
}
}
}
I'm unclear as to whether you have multiple implementations of T (ICity) or one implementation but several instances (like retrieving a list of city names from the database and creating one instance per name). The later you could solve by a this.Bind>().ToProvider(...) binding.
I ended up doing:
In NinjectWebCommon.cs:
kernel.Bind(typeof(CacheManager))
.ToSelf()
.InSingletonScope();
kernel.Bind<IDataListRepository<Locale>>()
.To<LocaleRepository>();
In CacheManager.cs:
public class CacheManager: IDisposable
{
private IKernel kernel;
public CacheManager(IKernel kernel)
{
this.kernel = kernel;
}
public IEnumerable<T> GetAsEnumerable<T>()
{
var rep = kernel.Get<IDataListRepository<T>>();
return rep.GetAll();
}
I don't know if this is bad-practice (since kernel in theory should only be used in the initialization phase), but I didn't find any other way to do it.
If better options exist, please let me know.

Does StructureMap have scoping corresponding to NInject's DefinesNamedScope/InNamedScope?

The problem I'd like to solve is sharing an ISessionProvider between IXyzRepositories (where ISessionProvider holds the current NHibernate ISession).
I'm tweaking the "Setting up session per presenter" recipe from NHibernate 3 Cookbook, and would like to keep StructureMap (brownfield project).
I think you would have to create a custom Lifecyle to do that, although I am not sure what exactly you are trying to accomplish...
To create a custom Lifecycle, you just have to implement the ILifecycle interface and the use it in your registration. Here is an example you can look at: http://blog.mikeobrien.net/2010/01/creating-structuremap-lifecycle-for-wcf.html.
In a web application I use Singleton for the sessionFactory and HybridHttpOrThreadLocalScoped for the session:
This is my structuremap registry:
public class NhibernateRegistry: Registry
{
public NhibernateRegistry()
{
For<ISessionFactory>()
.Singleton()
.Use(new NHibernateSessionFactory(connectionString).SessionFactory);
For<ISession>()
.HybridHttpOrThreadLocalScoped()
.Use(o => o.GetInstance<ISessionFactory>().CurrentSession);
}
}
My NHibernateSessionFactory is similar to SessionProvider class used in the book.
Everything is disposed at the end of the request (web app):
protected void Application_EndRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ObjectFactory.ReleaseAndDisposeAllHttpScopedObjects();
}
I use a generic repository:
public class GenericRepository<T> : IGenericRepository<T> where T : class
{
private readonly ISession _session;
public GenericRepository(ISession session)
{
_session = session;
}
public T Load(Guid Code)
{
return (_session.Load<T>(Code));
}
}
but you can easily change it with your own implementation.
I register the repository here:
public class RepositoriesRegistry : Registry
{
public RepositoriesRegistry()
{
For <Data.IRepository<Domain.Reminder, Guid>>()
.HybridHttpOrThreadLocalScoped()
.Use<Data.NH.Repository<Domain.Reminder, Guid>>();
}
}

Injecting my UnitOfWork into my Repository Constructor

Im very new but on a quest to learn nhibernate and DI with structuremap so am making an app to test everything out.
I am having some problems injecting my unitofwork into my base repository. I create a unitofwork on every request then either commit or rollback at the end. But when tryin to inject into my base repository its always null when i go to use it in my methods. More specifically i get this error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". Any ideas what im doing wrong and if this is the correct route i should be going?
Many thanks in advance.
Base Repository:
public abstract class Repository<T> : IRepository<T>
{
public readonly IUnitOfWork _unitOfWork;
public Repository(IUnitOfWork UnitOfWork)
{
UnitOfWork = _unitOfWork;
}
public Repository() {}
public void Save(T obj)
{
_unitOfWork.CurrentSession.Save(obj);
}
}
StructureMap registry thats set in my application_start:
public class NHibernateRegistry : Registry
{
public NHibernateRegistry()
{
For<IUnitOfWork>().HybridHttpOrThreadLocalScoped().Use<UnitOfWork>();
For<ISession>().HybridHttpOrThreadLocalScoped().Use(context => context.GetInstance<ISessionFactory>().OpenSession());
For<ISessionFactory>().Singleton().Use(NHibernateSessionFactory.GetSessionFactory());
}
}
Update:
The baserepository is inherited by specific repositorys ie ArticleRepository then im injecting that into my aspx pages on application_start. Then my aspx page inherits a basepage where the buildUp takes place. And i access the repository like this:
public IArticleRepository ArticleRepo { get; set; }
public void SaveThing()
{
ArticleRepo.Save(object);
}
This gets called on application_start:
public class Bootstrapper
{
public static void BootStrap()
{
ObjectFactory.Configure(x =>
{
x.AddRegistry<NHibernateRegistry>();
x.AddRegistry<WebRegistry>();
});
}
}
And in the webregistry:
For<IArticleRepository>().Use<ArticleRepository>();
There is a good chance your ArticleRepository doesn't have a constructor that takes an IUnitOfWork as a parameter make sure you have the following
public class ArticleRepository : Repository<Article>
{
public ArticleRepository(IUnitOfWork unitOfWork) : base(unitOfWork)
{
}
...
}
Remember Strcuture map uses the greediest constructor on the class that it instantiates. Since your abstract repository class will never be instantiated it will not use its constructors. I would also suggest not having any default constructors if your classes need to have their dependencies injected that way. Less chance for errors that way.
public readonly IUnitOfWork _unitOfWork;
public Repository(IUnitOfWork UnitOfWork)
{
UnitOfWork = _unitOfWork;
}
I think you mean to write
public readonly IUnitOfWork _unitOfWork;
public Repository(IUnitOfWork UnitOfWork)
{
_unitOfWork = UnitOfWork;
}
You were assigning the local variable to the parameter instead of the parameter to the local variable.
Edit: Also you should write your parameter with a lowercase U 'unitOfWork' instead of 'UnitOfWork'

Avoiding Service Locator with AutoFac 2

I'm building an application which uses AutoFac 2 for DI. I've been reading that using a static IoCHelper (Service Locator) should be avoided.
IoCHelper.cs
public static class IoCHelper
{
private static AutofacDependencyResolver _resolver;
public static void InitializeWith(AutofacDependencyResolver resolver)
{
_resolver = resolver;
}
public static T Resolve<T>()
{
return _resolver.Resolve<T>();
}
}
From answers to a previous question, I found a way to help reduce the need for using my IoCHelper in my UnitOfWork through the use of Auto-generated Factories. Continuing down this path, I'm curious if I can completely eliminate my IoCHelper.
Here is the scenario:
I have a static Settings class that serves as a wrapper around my configuration implementation. Since the Settings class is a dependency to a majority of my other classes, the wrapper keeps me from having to inject the settings class all over my application.
Settings.cs
public static class Settings
{
public static IAppSettings AppSettings
{
get
{
return IoCHelper.Resolve<IAppSettings>();
}
}
}
public interface IAppSettings
{
string Setting1 { get; }
string Setting2 { get; }
}
public class AppSettings : IAppSettings
{
public string Setting1
{
get
{
return GetSettings().AppSettings["setting1"];
}
}
public string Setting2
{
get
{
return GetSettings().AppSettings["setting2"];
}
}
protected static IConfigurationSettings GetSettings()
{
return IoCHelper.Resolve<IConfigurationSettings>();
}
}
Is there a way to handle this without using a service locator and without having to resort to injecting AppSettings into each and every class? Listed below are the 3 areas in which I keep leaning on ServiceLocator instead of constructor injection:
AppSettings
Logging
Caching
I would rather inject IAppSettings into every class that needs it just to keep them clean from the hidden dependency on Settings. Question is, do you really need to sprinkle that dependency into each and every class?
If you really want to go with a static Settings class I would at least try to make it test-friendly/fakeable. Consider this:
public static class Settings
{
public static Func<IAppSettings> AppSettings { get; set; }
}
And where you build your container:
var builder = new ContainerBuilder();
...
var container = builder.Build();
Settings.AppSettings = () => container.Resolve<IAppSettings>();
This would allow to swap out with fakes during test:
Settings.AppSettings = () => new Mock<IAppSettings>().Object;
Now the AppSettings class (which I assume there is only one of) you could do with regular constructor injection. I assume also that you really want to do a resolve on each call to your settings properties, thus injecting a factory delegate that retrieves an instance when needed. If this is not needed you should of course inject the IConfigurationSettings service directly.
public class AppSettings : IAppSettings
{
private readonly Func<IConfigurationSettings> _configurationSettings;
public AppSettings(Func<IConfigurationSettings> configurationSettings)
{
_configurationSettings = configurationSettings;
}
public string Setting1
{
get
{
return _configurationSettings().AppSettings["setting1"];
}
}
public string Setting2
{
get
{
return _configurationSettings().AppSettings["setting2"];
}
}
}
