I am trying to use the generic Lazy class to instantiate a costly class with .net core dependency injection extension. I have registered the IRepo type, but I'm not sure what the registration of the Lazy class would look like or if it is even supported. As a workaround I have used this method http://mark-dot-net.blogspot.com/2009/08/lazy-loading-of-dependencies-in-unity.html
config:
public void ConfigureService(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddTransient<IRepo, Repo>();
//register lazy
}
controller:
public class ValuesController : Controller
{
private Lazy<IRepo> _repo;
public ValuesController (Lazy<IRepo> repo)
{
_repo = repo;
}
[HttpGet()]
public IActionResult Get()
{
//Do something cheap
if(something)
return Ok(something);
else
return Ok(repo.Value.Get());
}
}
Here's another approach which supports generic registration of Lazy<T>
so that any type can be resolved lazily.
services.AddTransient(typeof(Lazy<>), typeof(Lazier<>));
internal class Lazier<T> : Lazy<T> where T : class
{
public Lazier(IServiceProvider provider)
: base(() => provider.GetRequiredService<T>())
{
}
}
