Getting the service

Services property

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

IMacroService macroService = Services.MacroService;

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 IMacroService interface in your constructor:

public class MyClass
{

    private IMacroService _macroService;

    public MyClass(IMacroService macroService)
    {
        _macroService = macroService;
    }

}

Static accessor

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

IMacroService macroService = Umbraco.Core.Composing.Current.Services.MacroService;
