How to avoid Dependency Injection constructor madness?

Question

I find that my constructors are starting to look like this:

public MyClass(Container con, SomeClass1 obj1, SomeClass2, obj2.... )

with ever

Answer 1

This is the approach I use

public class Hero
{

    [Inject]
    private IInventory Inventory { get; set; }

    [Inject]
    private IArmour Armour { get; set; }

    [Inject]
    protected IWeapon Weapon { get; set; }

    [Inject]
    private IAction Jump { get; set; }

    [Inject]
    private IInstanceProvider InstanceProvider { get; set; }


}

Here is a crude approach how to perform the injections and run constructor after injecting values. This is fully functional program.

public class InjectAttribute : Attribute
{

}


public class TestClass
{
    [Inject]
    private SomeDependency sd { get; set; }

    public TestClass()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("ctor");
        Console.WriteLine(sd);
    }
}

public class SomeDependency
{

}


class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        object tc = FormatterServices.GetUninitializedObject(typeof(TestClass));

        // Get all properties with inject tag
        List pi = typeof(TestClass)
            .GetProperties(BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public)
            .Where(info => info.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(InjectAttribute), false).Length > 0).ToList();

        // We now happen to know there's only one dependency so we take a shortcut just for the sake of this example and just set value to it without inspecting it
        pi[0].SetValue(tc, new SomeDependency(), null);


        // Find the right constructor and Invoke it. 
        ConstructorInfo ci = typeof(TestClass).GetConstructors()[0];
        ci.Invoke(tc, null);

    }
}
