Welcome to MrMeeseeks.DIE

The DIE is a secret agency organized by a bunch of Mr. Meeseekses. Its goal is to gather the information necessary to resolve your dependencies. Therefore …

The acronym DIE stands for Dependency Injection DIE.

Let the secret agency DIE compile this information to build factory methods that create instances of types of your choice.

Introduction

MrMeeseeks.DIE (just DIE in this documentation) is a compile-time dependency injection container for .Net. As such, it generates factory methods that create the instances you need. Instead of relying on reflection, the generated code uses the good old new operator to create instances, just as you'd probably do yourself if you were creating a pure DI container.

Nuget

The easiest way to use DIE is to get it via nuget. Here is the package page:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/MrMeeseeks.DIE/

Either search for MrMeeseeks.DIE in the nuget manager of the IDE of your choice.

Or call the following PowerShell command:

Install-Package MrMeeseeks.DIE

Alternatively, you can use dotnet:

dotnet add [your project] package MrMeeseeks.DIE

Or manually add the package reference to the target .csproj:

<PackageReference Include="MrMeeseeks.DIE" Version="[preferrably the current version]" />

Characteristics Of DIE

• Compile-Time Code Generation
  • Incomplete configurations will most likely result in a failed build
• Unambiguousness
  • Container doesn't resolve ambiguity through assumptions
  • Configuration features to resolve ambiguities
• Convenience
  • Default behaviors designed to reduce the amount of configuration required
  • Optional marker interfaces can be used for configurations
  • Mass configuration (e.g., register all implementations with a single configuration)
• Flexibility
  • Allows opt-in configuration style
  • Allows opt-out configuration style
• Feature richness
  • Scoping
  • Async support
  • Generics support
  • User-defined elements (factories, custom parameters, …)
  • Generated factories (Func<…>, Lazy<…>)
  • Decorators & Composites
  • Collection injections (IEnumerable<…>, IAsyncEnumerable<…>, IList<…> and many more)
• Maximum transparency
  • Only your configuration code needs to know about DIE
  • The rest of your code base can remain oblivious
