ServiceScan.SourceGenerator

Source generator for services registrations inspired by Scrutor. Code generation allows to have AOT-compatible code, without an additional hit on startup performance due to runtime assembly scanning.

Installation

Add the NuGet Package to your project:

dotnet add package ServiceScan.SourceGenerator

Usage

ServiceScan generates a partial method implementation based on GenerateServiceRegistrations attribute. This attribute can be added to a partial method with IServiceCollection parameter. For example, based on the following partial method:

public static partial class ServicesExtensions
{
    [GenerateServiceRegistrations(AssignableTo = typeof(IMyService), Lifetime = ServiceLifetime.Scoped)]
    public static partial IServiceCollection AddServices(this IServiceCollection services);
}

ServiceScan will generate the following implementation:

public static partial class ServicesExtensions
{
    public static partial IServiceCollection AddServices(this IServiceCollection services)
    {
        return services
            .AddScoped<IMyService, ServiceImplementation1>()
            .AddScoped<IMyService, ServiceImplementation2>();
    }
}

The only thing left is to invoke this method on your IServiceCollection instance

services.AddServices();

Examples

Register all FluentValidation validators

Unlike using FluentValidation.DependencyInjectionExtensions package, ServiceScan is AOT-compatible, and doesn't affect startup performance:

[GenerateServiceRegistrations(AssignableTo = typeof(IValidator<>), Lifetime = ServiceLifetime.Singleton)]
public static partial IServiceCollection AddValidators(this IServiceCollection services);

Add MediatR handlers

public static IServiceCollection AddMediatR(this IServiceCollection services)
{
    return services
        .AddTransient<IMediator, Mediator>()
        .AddMediatRHandlers();
}

[GenerateServiceRegistrations(AssignableTo = typeof(IRequestHandler<>), Lifetime = ServiceLifetime.Transient)]
[GenerateServiceRegistrations(AssignableTo = typeof(IRequestHandler<,>), Lifetime = ServiceLifetime.Transient)]
private static partial IServiceCollection AddMediatRHandlers(this IServiceCollection services);

It adds MediatR requests handlers, although you might need to add other types like PipelineBehaviors or NotificationHandlers.

Add all repository types from your project based on name filter as their implemented interfaces:

[GenerateServiceRegistrations(
    TypeNameFilter = "*Repository",
    AsImplementedInterfaces = true,
    Lifetime = ServiceLifetime.Scoped)]
private static partial IServiceCollection AddRepositories(this IServiceCollection services);

Parameters

GenerateServiceRegistrations attribute has the following properties:

Property	Description
FromAssemblyOf	Set the assembly containing the given type as the source of types to register. If not specified, the assembly containing the method with this attribute will be used.
AssignableTo	Set the type that the registered types must be assignable to. Types will be registered with this type as the service type, unless `AsImplementedInterfaces` or `AsSelf` is set.
Lifetime	Set the lifetime of the registered services. `ServiceLifetime.Transient` is used if not specified.
AsImplementedInterfaces	If true, the registered types will be registered as implemented interfaces instead of their actual type.
AsSelf	If true, types will be registered with their actual type. It can be combined with `AsImplementedInterfaces`. In that case implemeted interfaces will be "forwarded" to an actual implementation type
TypeNameFilter	Set this value to filter the types to register by their full name. You can use '*' wildcards. You can also use ',' to separate multiple filters.
