I\'ve created an ASP.NET Core MVC/WebApi site that has a RabbitMQ subscriber based off James Still\'s blog article Real-World PubSub Messaging with RabbitMQ.
In his arti
I know my answer is late, but I wanted to share how I did it.
First of all: It's Antipattern to use ServiceLocator so try not to use it as you can. In my case I needed it to call MediatR inside of my DomainModel to implement the DomainEvents logic.
However, I had to find a way to call a static class in my DomainModel to get an instance of some registered service from DI.
So I've decided to use the HttpContext
to access the IServiceProvider
but I needed to access it from a static method without mention it in my domain model.
Let's do it:
1- I've created an interface to wrap the IServiceProvider
public interface IServiceProviderProxy
{
T GetService();
IEnumerable GetServices();
object GetService(Type type);
IEnumerable
2- Then I've created a static class to be my ServiceLocator access point
public static class ServiceLocator
{
private static IServiceProviderProxy diProxy;
public static IServiceProviderProxy ServiceProvider => diProxy ?? throw new Exception("You should Initialize the ServiceProvider before using it.");
public static void Initialize(IServiceProviderProxy proxy)
{
diProxy = proxy;
}
}
3- I've created an implementation for the IServiceProviderProxy
which use internally the IHttpContextAccessor
public class HttpContextServiceProviderProxy : IServiceProviderProxy
{
private readonly IHttpContextAccessor contextAccessor;
public HttpContextServiceProviderProxy(IHttpContextAccessor contextAccessor)
{
this.contextAccessor = contextAccessor;
}
public T GetService()
{
return contextAccessor.HttpContext.RequestServices.GetService();
}
public IEnumerable GetServices()
{
return contextAccessor.HttpContext.RequestServices.GetServices();
}
public object GetService(Type type)
{
return contextAccessor.HttpContext.RequestServices.GetService(type);
}
public IEnumerable
4- I should register the IServiceProviderProxy
in the DI like this
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddHttpContextAccessor();
services.AddSingleton();
.......
}
5- Final step is to initialize the ServiceLocator
with an instance of IServiceProviderProxy
at the Application startup
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env,IServiceProvider sp)
{
ServiceLocator.Initialize(sp.GetService());
}
As a result now you can call the ServiceLocator in your DomainModel classes "Or and needed place" and resolve the dependencies that you need.
public class FakeModel
{
public FakeModel(Guid id, string value)
{
Id = id;
Value = value;
}
public Guid Id { get; }
public string Value { get; private set; }
public async Task UpdateAsync(string value)
{
Value = value;
var mediator = ServiceLocator.ServiceProvider.GetService();
await mediator.Send(new FakeModelUpdated(this));
}
}
