FluentValidation Autofac ValidatorFactory

Question

I need to be able to provide the IComponentContext to my ValidatorFactory to resolve FluentValidation Validators. I am a little stuck.

I figured this out. If you have the ValidatorFactory take IComponentContext, Autofac injects it automatically.

ValidatorFactory

    public class ValidatorFactory : ValidatorFactoryBase
    {
        private readonly IComponentContext context;

        public ValidatorFactory(IComponentContext context)
        {
            this.context = context;
        }

        public override IValidator CreateInstance(Type validatorType)
        {
            return context.Resolve(validatorType) as IValidator;
        }
    }

Register the ValidatorFactory

FluentValidation.Mvc.FluentValidationModelValidatorProvider.Configure(x => x.ValidatorFactory = new ValidatorFactory());
