Net Core Dependency Injection for Non-Controller

Question

Seems crazy that something like this is causing me such a headache. But here it is:

How do you use the built-in dependency injection for net core for a non-controll

Answer 1

You can easily define a static class with one property like:

public static class StaticServiceProvider
{
    public static IServiceProvider Provider { get; set; }    
}

after defined class you have to scope the service in the Startup.ConfigureServices method:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    //TODO: ...

    services.AddScoped();            
    services.AddSingleton();
}

then inside the Startup.Configure method on startup you can set the provider as static class property:

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, ...)
{
    StaticServiceProvider.Provider = app.ApplicationServices;

    //TODO: ...
}

Now you can easily call StaticServiceProvider.Provider.GetService method almost everywhere in your application:

var unitOfWork = (IUnitOfWork)StaticServiceProvider.Provider.GetService(typeof(IUnitOfWork));
