Getting the service

Services property

If you wish to use use the domain service in a class that inherits from one of the Umbraco base classes (eg. SurfaceController, UmbracoApiController or UmbracoAuthorizedApiController), you can access the domain service through a local Services property:

IDomainService domainService = Services.DomainService;

Dependency Injection

In other cases, you may be able to use Dependency Injection. For instance if you have registered your own class in Umbraco's dependency injection, you can specify the IDomainService interface in your constructor:

public class MyClass
{

    private IDomainService _domainService;
    
    public MyClass(IDomainService domainService)
    {
        _domainService = domainService;
    }

}

Static accessor

If neither a Services property or Dependency Injection is available, you can also reference the static Current class directly:

IDomainService domainService = Umbraco.Core.Composing.Current.Services.DomainService;
