How to register Microsoft.Extensions.Localization in Unity

[OculiViridi]

I'm moving from default .NET Core DI Container to Unity DI Container for memory leaks issues. I've almost everything in place now, except for one thing, the Localization. I'm using the Microsoft.Extensions.Localization package and I need to register it on Unity.

When using it with the default DI Container, there is the extension method by Microsoft and the registration is done like this:

services.AddLocalization(options => options.ResourcesPath = "Resources");

Then there is some configuration:

services.Configure<RequestLocalizationOptions>(options =>
{
    options.DefaultRequestCulture = new RequestCulture("en-US");
    // Formatting numbers, dates, etc.
    options.SupportedCultures = _supportedCultures;
    // Localized UI strings
    options.SupportedUICultures = _supportedCultures;
});

Is there something similar for Unity or do I need to write a custom registration method? Does anybody already used Microsoft.Extensions.Localization library with Unity before?

Supposedly it should be added to services the same way you would with built-in DI. Anything added to Service Collection should be registered with Unity automatically.

Yes... but what I was missing is the registration on Unity. So I finally wrote this code:

public static class UnityConfiguration
{
    // Here there are some more methods for configuration of other dependencies like:
    // MediatR, DbContext, AutoMapper, etc....

    public static void ConfigureLocalization(this IUnityContainer container)
    {
        var options = Options.Create(new LocalizationOptions { ResourcesPath = "Resources" });
        ILoggerFactory logger = NullLoggerFactory.Instance;

        container.RegisterType<IStringLocalizerFactory, ResourceManagerStringLocalizerFactory>(new ContainerControlledLifetimeManager(), new InjectionConstructor(options, logger));
        container.RegisterType(typeof(IStringLocalizer<>), typeof(StringLocalizer<>));
    }
}

UnityContainer container = new UnityContainer();

container.RegisterMediator(new TransientLifetimeManager());
container.RegisterMediatorHandlers(typeof(MachineCreateCommandHandler).GetTypeInfo().Assembly);
container.ConfigureDbContext(configuration);
container.ConfigureAutoMapper();

// and...
container.ConfigureLocalization(); 

It seems to work, so is it good?

If it works, it should be good. You do not need to pass TransientManager, It will be implicitly added by Unity.

If nothing else, I am closing it. Feel free to reopen if more issues show up.
