Umbraco 8 and IoC

Question

I installed Umbraco 8.1.3 and i'm trying to configure dependecy injection following this post, but not work. My 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);
    }
}

SERVICES:

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>();
    }
}

The error is:

Can anybody help me?

Answer 1

After of inspect UmbracoCore code, more exactly LightInjectContainer.cs i found issue at RegisterFor(Lifetime lifetime = Lifetime.Transient) method:

 public void RegisterFor<TService, TTarget>(Lifetime lifetime = Lifetime.Transient)
        where TService : class
        => RegisterFor<TService, TTarget>(typeof(TService), lifetime);

TTarget type never is used, then implementation class never will be required.

To fix that, i implemented a extension method of Umbraco Composition class

public static class CompositionExtension
{
    public static void Register<TService, TTarget>(this Composition composition, Lifetime lifetime = Lifetime.Transient) where TTarget : class
    {
        composition.Register(typeof(TService), typeof(TTarget), lifetime);
    }

}

Then my DI Config is:

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