Guidelines for dependency injection in VS extensions #3

Closed dybzon closed 2 years ago

dybzon commented 2 years ago

Hi

I've recently started writing my first VS extension, and I've been struggling to find a good way to handle dependency injection. I come from the "web world" with .NET Core/ASP.NET Core where it's pretty much built in, and I can just declare my dependencies in the constructor of a controller class or similar. Assuming I've built a service container, of course. I was hoping I could do something similar in my VS extension.

Do you know of any guidelines/documentation/good examples of how dependency injection can be set up and used in a VS extension?

Any pointers to helpful resources are greatly appreciated!

Hi @dybzon - I have updated the ReadMe to include information on how to use this package.

Hi @StevenRasmussen , thanks for the update. That is exactly what I did after reading through the code, and it works great!

Are there any plans of adding support for other DI containers? Otherwise I'll probably look into writing a package for Autofac (similar to your MicrosoftDIToolkitPackage)

There aren't any immediate plans for adding more DI containers, but it has definitely been architected with this in mind. Feel free to submit a PR if you come up with something for Autofac.
