How implement Strategy/Facade Pattern using Unity Dependecy Injection Web API

Question

How tell to Unity.WebApi dependency injection framework, inject the correct class in the correct controller?

DI Project Container

public class UnityCont         


        

Answer 1

Rather than using a strategy or facade to solve this, a better solution would be to redesign your interfaces to be unique per controller. Once you have a unique interface type, your DI container will automatically inject the right service into each controller.

Option 1

Use a generic interface.

public interface IMyInterface<T>
{
}

public class XController
{
    private readonly IMyInterface<XClass> myInterface;

    public XController(IMyInterface<XClass> myInterface)
    {
        this.myInterface = myInterface;
    }
}

public class YController
{
    private readonly IMyInterface<YClass> myInterface;

    public YController(IMyInterface<YClass> myInterface)
    {
        this.myInterface = myInterface;
    }
}

Option 2

Use interface inheritance.

public interface IMyInterface
{
}

public interface IXMyInterface : IMyInterface
{
}

public interface IYMyInterface : IMyInterface
{
}

public class XController
{
    private readonly IXMyInterface myInterface;

    public XController(IXMyInterface myInterface)
    {
        this.myInterface = myInterface;
    }
}

public class YController
{
    private readonly IYMyInterface myInterface;

    public YController(IYMyInterface myInterface)
    {
        this.myInterface = myInterface;
    }
}
