Automation.DependencyInjection 1.0.0

Automation.DependencyInjection is an attribute-based dependency injection framework for ASP.NET Core. It simplifies the process of registering services in the DI container by using custom attributes to define service lifetimes (Singleton, Scoped, or Transient). The framework automatically scans assemblies and registers services, reducing manual service registration.

Installation

You can install this library by cloning the repository or via NuGet:

Install-Package Automation.DependencyInjection

Key Features

• Attribute-based Service Registration: Use the [Injectable] attribute to specify the service's lifetime (Singleton, Scoped, or Transient), simplifying dependency injection.

• Automatic Discovery and Registration: The framework scans assemblies for classes marked with the [Injectable] attribute and automatically registers them with the DI container.

• Flexible Service Registration:

  • Self-registration: Automatically registers a class if it doesn't implement any interfaces or abstract base classes.
  • Interface and Abstract Class Support: Registers all implemented interfaces and abstract base classes, ensuring that services are injected based on both concrete and abstract types.

• Lifetime Support: The InjectableAttribute supports all service lifetimes (Singleton, Scoped, Transient), allowing for flexible service management.

Usage

Step 1: Register Services Automatically

In your Program.cs or service collection, call the AddAutomation() method to automatically scan and register all services marked with the [Injectable] attribute.

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddAutomation(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
}

Step 2: Add [Injectable] Attribute

Add the [Injectable] attribute to any class that should be injected into the DI container. Specify the lifetime (Singleton, Scoped, or Transient) when using the attribute.

[Injectable(ServiceLifetime.Singleton)]
public class MyService : IMyService
{
    // Implementation
}

Step 3: Simplify Your DI Setup

By using attribute-based dependency injection, this framework simplifies service registration in large projects, reducing boilerplate code and minimizing manual service registrations.
