SettingsService.Unity

This repository contains the source code for the phirSOFT.SettingsService.Unity package. This package allows you to inject settings of a settings service via unity. The source has been forked out from the SettingsService repository to decouple the version numbers of the packages.

Example

You can use your Unity container to resolve settings as an injectable dependency. To do this you first have to add the SettingsServiceContainerExtension to your unity container. Then you have register the IReadOnlySettingsService interface with your actual settings service.

public IUnityContaier CreateUnityContainer()
{
	 var container = new UnityContainer();
     container.AddNewExtension<SettingsServiceContainerExtension>();
	 container.RegisterSingleton<IReadOnlySettingsService, MySettingsService>();
}

Then you can reveice your settings via the SettingsValueAttribute. This workls for constructors and properties. The attribute takes the key of the setting as mandatory parameter. You can optional specify the named instance to use and the type of the setting. If no type is specified the settings type is inferred by the parameter resp. proptery type.

class SampleClass
{
    // inject the user.names property
    public SampleClass([SettingValue("user.names")] IEnumerable<string> usernames)
    {
        // do something with usernames
    }
}
