How to Use (The Dependency Injection Approach)

Commando offers support for three dependency injection frameworks:

• Autofac
• Ninject
• Microsoft Dependency Injection

Regardless of the one you choose, the approach is similar. Read ahead.

With Autofac

1. Include ConsoleTools.Commando.Setup.Autofac nuget package.

   It will automatically include the packages:

   • ConsoleTools.Commando
   • Autofac

2. Register Commando into Autofac's container.

   Assembly presentationAssembly = typeof(SomeCommand).Assembly; // The assembly containing your commands.
   containerBuilder.RegisterCommando(presentationAssembly);

3. Instantiate and run the Application.

   Application application = container.Resolve<Application>();
   await application.Run(args);

4. Create your commands.

   [NamedCommand("read", Description = "Display the content of a text file.")]
   internal class ReadCommand : ICommand
   {
       [NamedParameter("file", ShortName = 'f', Description = "The full path of the file.")]
       public string FilePath { get; set; }
       
   	public Task Execute()
   	{
   		...
   	}
   }

With Ninject

1. Include ConsoleTools.Commando.Setup.Ninject nuget package.

   It will automatically include the packages:

   • ConsoleTools.Commando
   • Autofac

2. Register Commando into Ninject's conatiner.

   Assembly presentationAssembly = typeof(SomeCommand).Assembly; // The assembly containing your commands.
   kernel.RegisterCommando(presentationAssembly);

3. Instantiate the Application.

   Application application = container.Get<Application>();
   await application.Run(args);

4. Create your commands.

   [NamedCommand("read", Description = "Display the content of a text file.")]
   internal class ReadCommand : ICommand
   {
       [NamedParameter("file", ShortName = 'f', Description = "The full path of the file.")]
       public string FilePath { get; set; }
       
   	public Task Execute()
   	{
   		...
   	}
   }

With Microsoft Dependency Injection

1. Include ConsoleTools.Commando.Setup.Microsoft nuget package.

   It will automatically include the packages:

   • ConsoleTools.Commando
   • Autofac

2. Register Commando into Microsoft's dependency container.

   Assembly presentationAssembly = typeof(SomeCommand).Assembly; // The assembly containing your commands.
   kernel.AddCommando(presentationAssembly);

3. Instantiate the Application.

   Application application = serviceProvider.GetService<Application>();
   await application.Run(args);

4. Create your commands.

   [NamedCommand("read", Description = "Display the content of a text file.")]
   internal class ReadCommand : ICommand
   {
       [NamedParameter("file", ShortName = 'f', Description = "The full path of the file.")]
       public string FilePath { get; set; }
       
   	public Task Execute()
   	{
   		...
   	}
   }
