Is it possible in Castle Windsor to make a service with dependency on property of another component?

Question

Let's say I have ISettings with a property string Setting1 and I have

public class MyComponent : IMyService
{
    public MyComponent(string setting1)
    {
        // set fields
    }
}

Is it possible to wire up Windsor to say that ISettings.Setting1 should be used to satisfy the dependency of MyComponent?

Answer 1

I would suggest 2 options.

First, use ISettings as dependency and use Setting1 where necessary

public class MyComponent : IMyService
{
    public MyComponent(ISettings settings)
    {
        // access settings.Setting1
    }
}

Second, Windsor .DependsOn function to pass some primitive properties to component.

container.Register(
                Component.For<IMyService >()
                .ImplementedBy<MyComponent >()
                .DependsOn(Dependency.OnValue("setting1", ISettingsInstance.Setting1));
