    Umbraco 8 and IoC

    The documentation for v7 and IoC doesn't apply to v8. Is it as simple as implementing IComposer, and then registering the types we need? What about the controllers and the API pieces as well?

    Thanks

    Not sure about the IOC stuff, but im pretty sure controllers are all the same

    You can indeed just implement IUserComposer to register your types with the DI container and then they will be injected when needed.

    Small example:

    using Umbraco.Core;
    using Umbraco.Core.Composing;
    
    public class SomeComposer : IUserComposer
    {
        public void Compose(Composition composition)
        {
            composition.Register<IServiceOne, ServiceOne>();
            composition.Register<IServiceTwo, ServiceTwo>();        
        }
    }
    

    And then in your ApiController:

    using Umbraco.Web.WebApi;
    
    public class SomeApiController : UmbracoApiController
    {
        private readonly IServiceOne _serviceOne;
        private readonly IServiceTwo _serviceTwo;
    
        public SomeApiController(IServiceOne serviceOne, IServiceTwo serviceTwo) 
        {
            _serviceOne = serviceOne;
            _serviceTwo = serviceTwo;
        }        
    
        // API methods here as usual
    }

    Hi Daniël, i installed umbraco 8.1.3 and i'm trying to configure dependecy injection following this post, but not work. Me code is:

    Controller:

        public class ContactController : UmbracoApiController
        {
            private readonly IContactService contactService;
    
            public ContactController(IContactService contactService)
            {
                this.contactService = contactService;
            }
    
            [HttpPost]
            public void Post([FromBody]ContactDto request)
            {
                this.contactService.Register(request);
            }
        }
    

    Service:

    public interface IContactService
    {
        void Register(ContactDto contact);
    }
    
    
    
    public class ContactService : IContactService
    {
        public ContactService()
        {
        }
    
        public void Register(ContactDto contact)
        {
          //Implement
        }
    }
    

    DI Config:

    public class ApplicationComposer : IUserComposer
    {
        public void Compose(Composition composition)
        {
            composition.RegisterFor<IContactService, ContactService>();
        }
    }

    Hi Mauri,

    You are using RegisterFor(), but you are looking for the Register() method instead, which is a built-in extension method in the Umbraco.Core namespace (hence my example has the using Umbraco.Core; line). I see in your referenced StackOverflow that you have added this extension method yourself but that is not necessary as it is provided by Umbraco.

    Hi Chris,

    and maybe this blogpost helps you out a bit as well: https://www.perplex.nl/en/blog/2019/umbraco-v8-changes-for-developers/

    Hi Chris! Were you able to make it work? I'm in the exact same point and I can't make mine work. Any suggestions?

    Yup! I just implemented my own IUserComposer.

    public class ApplicationComposer : IUserComposer
    {
        public void Compose(Composition composition)
        {
            composition.Register(..., ...);
        }
    }

    hi Jeffrey

    thanks for that blog post – that’s very helpful for me too.

    Do you know what DI container this is using - Is it LightInject? I suspect the umbraco doc https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/reference/using-ioc saying IoC isn’t used in the v8 core is out of date?

    I have some pre-existing DI code using Autofac in an umbraco 7 project, and looking for the equivalent best practice in umbraco 8. It sounds like ‘Compositions’ is what I should port the code to.

    Thanks

    Andrew

    Hi Andrew

    That article is for v7. Umbraco 8 uses LightInject.

    hi - does anyone know of a blog or thread explaining the various composition methods in a bit more detail / real world examples etc?

    Register
    RegisterFor
    RegisterAuto
    RegisterUnique
    RegisterUniqueFor
    

    thanks

    In 8.5.3 i have to use Register like this

    composition.Register(typeof(IMyService), typeofMyService));

    Is this correct or am i missing something. all the stuff i seen online suggest i dont need to use the typeof wrapper but i cant get it to work without it?

    Hi Perry,

    Make sure to include using Umbraco.Core; at the top of your file. The Register<T>(IService, Service) method and some others are defined as extension methods in the Umbraco.Core namespace.
