ASP.NET Core supports the dependency injection (DI) software design pattern, which is a technique for achieving Inversion of Control (IoC) between classes and their dependencies.
For more information specific to dependency injection within MVC controllers, see Dependency injection into controllers in ASP.NET Core.

A dependency is any object that another object requires
The MyDependency
class is a dependency of the IndexModel
class:
public class IndexModel : PageModel
{
MyDependency _dependency = new MyDependency();
public async Task OnGetAsync()
{
await _dependency.WriteMessage(
"IndexModel.OnGetAsync created this message.");
}
}
The class creates and directly depends on the MyDependency
instance :错误实现方式
why?
Code dependencies (such as the previous example) are problematic and should be avoided for the following reasons:
- To replace
MyDependency
with a different implementation, the class must be modified. - If
MyDependency
has dependencies, they must be configured by the class. In a large project with multiple classes depending onMyDependency
, the configuration code becomes scattered across the app. - This implementation is difficult to unit test. The app should use a mock or stub
MyDependency
class, which isn't possible with this approach.
如何解决?
Dependency injection addresses these problems through:
- The use of an interface to abstract the dependency implementation.
- Registration of the dependency in a service container. ASP.NET Core provides a built-in service container, IServiceProvider. Services are registered in the app's
Startup.ConfigureServices
method. - Injection of the service into the constructor of the class where it's used. The framework takes on the responsibility of creating an instance of the dependency and disposing of it when it's no longer needed.
It's not unusual to use dependency injection in a chained fashion.
Each requested dependency in turn requests its own dependencies.
The container resolves the dependencies in the graph and returns the fully resolved service. The collective set of dependencies that must be resolved is typically referred to as a dependency tree, dependency graph, or object graph.
ILogger
is registered by the logging abstractions infrastructure, so it's a framework-provided service registered by default by the framework.
The registration scopes the service lifetime to the lifetime of a single request.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.Configure(options =>
{
options.CheckConsentNeeded = context => true;
options.MinimumSameSitePolicy = SameSiteMode.None;
});
services.AddMvc().SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_1);
services.AddScoped();
services.AddTransient();
services.AddScoped();
services.AddSingleton();
services.AddSingleton(new Operation(Guid.Empty));
// OperationService depends on each of the other Operation types.
services.AddTransient();
}
Each services.Add{SERVICE_NAME}
extension method adds (and potentially configures) services.
For example, services.AddMvc()
adds the services Razor Pages and MVC require.
We recommended that apps follow this convention.
Place extension methods in the Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection namespace to encapsulate groups of service registrations.
If the service's constructor requires a primitive, such as a string
, the primitive can be injected by using configuration or the options pattern
An instance of the service is requested via the constructor of a class where the service is used and assigned to a private field. The field is used to access the service as necessary throughout the class.
Framework-provided services
The Startup.ConfigureServices
method is responsible for defining the services the app uses, including platform features, such as Entity Framework Core and ASP.NET Core MVC.
Initially, the IServiceCollection
provided to ConfigureServices
has the following services defined (depending on how the host was configured):
Service Type | Lifetime |
---|---|
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.Builder.IApplicationBuilderFactory | Transient |
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.IApplicationLifetime | Singleton |
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.IHostingEnvironment | Singleton |
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.IStartup | Singleton |
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.IStartupFilter | Transient |
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.Server.IServer | Singleton |
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.IHttpContextFactory | Transient |
Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.ILogger |
Singleton |
Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.ILoggerFactory | Singleton |
Microsoft.Extensions.ObjectPool.ObjectPoolProvider | Singleton |
Microsoft.Extensions.Options.IConfigureOptions |
Transient |
Microsoft.Extensions.Options.IOptions |
Singleton |
System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticSource | Singleton |
System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticListener | Singleton |
When a service collection extension method is available to register a service (and its dependent services, if required), the convention is to use a single Add{SERVICE_NAME}
extension method to register all of the services required by that service.
The following code is an example of how to add additional services to the container using the extension methods AddDbContext, AddIdentity, and AddMvc:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddDbContext(options =>
options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));
services.AddIdentity()
.AddEntityFrameworkStores()
.AddDefaultTokenProviders();
services.AddMvc();
}
For more information, see the ServiceCollection Class in the API documentation.
Service lifetimes
Choose an appropriate lifetime for each registered service.
ASP.NET Core services can be configured with the following lifetimes:
-
Transient
Transient lifetime services are created each time they're requested. This lifetime works best for lightweight, stateless services.
-
Scoped
Scoped lifetime services are created once per request.
When using a scoped service in a middleware, inject the service into the Invoke
or InvokeAsync
method. Don't inject via constructor injection because it forces the service to behave like a singleton. For more information, see ASP.NET Core Middleware.
-
Singleton
Singleton lifetime services are created the first time they're requested (or when
ConfigureServices
is run and an instance is specified with the service registration). Every subsequent request uses the same instance. If the app requires singleton behavior, allowing the service container to manage the service's lifetime is recommended. Don't implement the singleton design pattern and provide user code to manage the object's lifetime in the class.
It's dangerous to resolve a scoped service from a singleton. It may cause the service to have incorrect state when processing subsequent requests.
Constructor injection behavior
Services can be resolved by two mechanisms:
IServiceProvider
- ActivatorUtilities – Permits object creation without service registration in the dependency injection container.
ActivatorUtilities
is used with user-facing abstractions, such as Tag Helpers, MVC controllers, and model binders.
Constructors can accept arguments that aren't provided by dependency injection, but the arguments must assign default values.
When services are resolved by IServiceProvider
or ActivatorUtilities
, constructor injection requires a public constructor.
When services are resolved by ActivatorUtilities
, constructor injection requires that only one applicable constructor exists. Constructor overloads are supported, but only one overload can exist whose arguments can all be fulfilled by dependency injection.
Entity Framework contexts
Entity Framework contexts should be added to the service container using the scoped lifetime. This is handled automatically with a call to the AddDbContext method when registering the database context. Services that use the database context should also use the scoped lifetime.
Lifetime and registration options
To demonstrate the difference between the lifetime and registration options, consider the following interfaces that represent tasks as an operation with a unique identifier, OperationId
. Depending on how the lifetime of an operations service is configured for the following interfaces, the container provides either the same or a different instance of the service when requested by a class:
An OperationService
is registered that depends on each of the other Operation
types. When OperationService
is requested via dependency injection, it receives either a new instance of each service or an existing instance based on the lifetime of the dependent service.
- If transient services are created when requested, the
OperationId
of theIOperationTransient
service is different than theOperationId
of theOperationService
.OperationService
receives a new instance of theIOperationTransient
class. The new instance yields a differentOperationId
. - If scoped services are created per request, the
OperationId
of theIOperationScoped
service is the same as that ofOperationService
within a request. Across requests, both services share a differentOperationId
value. - If singleton and singleton-instance services are created once and used across all requests and all services, the
OperationId
is constant across all service requests.
In Startup.ConfigureServices
, each type is added to the container according to its named lifetime:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.Configure(options =>
{
options.CheckConsentNeeded = context => true;
options.MinimumSameSitePolicy = SameSiteMode.None;
});
services.AddMvc().SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_1);
services.AddScoped();
services.AddTransient();
services.AddScoped();
services.AddSingleton();
services.AddSingleton(new Operation(Guid.Empty));
// OperationService depends on each of the other Operation types.
services.AddTransient();
}
Observe which of the OperationId
values vary within a request and between requests:
- Transient objects are always different. Note that the transient
OperationId
value for both the first and second requests are different for bothOperationService
operations and across requests. A new instance is provided to each service and request. - Scoped objects are the same within a request but different across requests.
- Singleton objects are the same for every object and every request regardless of whether an
Operation
instance is provided inConfigureServices
.
Call services from main
Create an IServiceScope with IServiceScopeFactory.CreateScope to resolve a scoped service within the app's scope. This approach is useful to access a scoped service at startup to run initialization tasks. The following example shows how to obtain a context for the MyScopedService
in Program.Main
:
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
var host = CreateWebHostBuilder(args).Build();
using (var serviceScope = host.Services.CreateScope())
{
var services = serviceScope.ServiceProvider;
try
{
var serviceContext = services.GetRequiredService();
// Use the context here
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
var logger = services.GetRequiredService>();
logger.LogError(ex, "An error occurred.");
}
}
host.Run();
}
Scope validation
When the app is running in the Development environment, the default service provider performs checks to verify that:
- Scoped services aren't directly or indirectly resolved from the root service provider.
- Scoped services aren't directly or indirectly injected into singletons.
The root service provider is created when BuildServiceProvider is called. The root service provider's lifetime corresponds to the app/server's lifetime when the provider starts with the app and is disposed when the app shuts down.
Scoped services are disposed by the container that created them. If a scoped service is created in the root container, the service's lifetime is effectively promoted to singleton because it's only disposed by the root container when app/server is shut down. Validating service scopes catches these situations when BuildServiceProvider
is called.
For more information, see ASP.NET Core Web Host.
Request Services
The services available within an ASP.NET Core request from HttpContext
are exposed through the HttpContext.RequestServices collection.
Request Services represent the services configured and requested as part of the app. When the objects specify dependencies, these are satisfied by the types found in RequestServices
, not ApplicationServices
.
Generally, the app shouldn't use these properties directly. Instead, request the types that classes require via class constructors and allow the framework inject the dependencies. This yields classes that are easier to test.
Prefer requesting dependencies as constructor parameters to accessing the RequestServices
collection.
Design services for dependency injection
Best practices are to:
- Design services to use dependency injection to obtain their dependencies.
- Avoid stateful, static method calls (a practice known as static cling).
- Avoid direct instantiation of dependent classes within services. Direct instantiation couples the code to a particular implementation.
By following the SOLID Principles of Object Oriented Design, app classes naturally tend to be small, well-factored, and easily tested.
If a class seems to have too many injected dependencies, this is generally a sign that the class has too many responsibilities and is violating the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP). Attempt to refactor the class by moving some of its responsibilities into a new class.
Keep in mind that Razor Pages page model classes and MVC controller classes should focus on UI concerns. Business rules and data access implementation details should be kept in classes appropriate to these separate concerns.
Disposal of services
The container calls Dispose
for the IDisposable
types it creates.
If an instance is added to the container by user code, it isn't disposed automatically.
// Services that implement IDisposable:
public class Service1 : IDisposable {}
public class Service2 : IDisposable {}
public class Service3 : IDisposable {}
public interface ISomeService {}
public class SomeServiceImplementation : ISomeService, IDisposable {}
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
// The container creates the following instances and disposes them automatically:
services.AddScoped();
services.AddSingleton();
services.AddSingleton(sp => new SomeServiceImplementation());
// The container doesn't create the following instances, so it doesn't dispose of
// the instances automatically:
services.AddSingleton(new Service3());
services.AddSingleton(new Service3());
}
Default service container replacement
The built-in service container is meant to serve the needs of the framework and most consumer apps. We recommend using the built-in container unless you need a specific feature that it doesn't support.
Some of the features supported in 3rd party containers not found in the built-in container:
- Property injection
- Injection based on name
- Child containers
- Custom lifetime management
Func
support for lazy initialization
See the Dependency Injection readme.md file for a list of some of the containers that support adapters.
The following sample replaces the built-in container with Autofac:
-
Install the appropriate container package(s):
- Autofac
- Autofac.Extensions.DependencyInjection
-
Configure the container in
Startup.ConfigureServices
and return anIServiceProvider
:
public IServiceProvider ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddMvc();
// Add other framework services
// Add Autofac
var containerBuilder = new ContainerBuilder();
containerBuilder.RegisterModule();
containerBuilder.Populate(services);
var container = containerBuilder.Build();
return new AutofacServiceProvider(container);
}
To use a 3rd party container, Startup.ConfigureServices
must return IServiceProvider
.
- Configure Autofac in
DefaultModule
:
public class DefaultModule : Module
{
protected override void Load(ContainerBuilder builder)
{
builder.RegisterType().As();
}
}
At runtime, Autofac is used to resolve types and inject dependencies. To learn more about using Autofac with ASP.NET Core, see the Autofac documentation.
Thread safety
Singleton services need to be thread safe.
If a singleton service has a dependency on a transient service, the transient service may also need to be thread safe depending how it's used by the singleton.
The factory method of single service, such as the second argument to AddSingletonstatic
) constructor, it's guaranteed to be called once by a single thread.
Recommendations
-
async/await
andTask
based service resolution is not supported. C# does not support asynchronous constructors, therefore the recommended pattern is to use asynchronous methods after synchronously resolving the service. -
Avoid storing data and configuration directly in the service container. For example, a user's shopping cart shouldn't typically be added to the service container. Configuration should use the options pattern. Similarly, avoid "data holder" objects that only exist to allow access to some other object. It's better to request the actual item via DI.
-
Avoid static access to services (for example, statically-typing IApplicationBuilder.ApplicationServices for use elsewhere).
-
Avoid using the service locator pattern. For example, don't invoke GetService to obtain a service instance when you can use DI instead. Another service locator variation to avoid is injecting a factory that resolves dependencies at runtime. Both of these practices mix Inversion of Control strategies.
-
Avoid static access to
HttpContext
(for example, IHttpContextAccessor.HttpContext).
Like all sets of recommendations, you may encounter situations where ignoring a recommendation is required. Exceptions are rare—mostly special cases within the framework itself.
DI is an alternative to static/global object access patterns. You may not be able to realize the benefits of DI if you mix it with static object access.
