Cmpnnt.Pia.DependencyInjection 0.3.0

Cmpnnt.Pia.DependencyInjection

This is a dependency injection helper package for cmpnnt.pia.ctl.

Cmpnnt.Pia.Ctl is a .NET Native AOT wrapper around piactl, the Private Internet Access CLI for Windows and Linux. MacOS support will be added when GitHub makes free runners available.

PIA Sharp's main package, Cmpnnt.Pia.Ctl, has been tested against version 3.3.1 on Windows and Linux. It provides access to every piactl command available in those version on those systems. It might also work on other versions of piactl, provided they expose the same commands with the same parameters. However, this hasn't been tested and nothing is guaranteed.

Dependency Injection

There's a separate dependency injection library you can use if you require DI. Add a reference to Cmpnnt.Pia.DependencyInjection and include it in your DI container by adding a call to services.AddPiaCtl() under ConfigureServices.

Note: The dependency injection package registers PiaCtl as a singleton.

Here's a basic example. You can find the runnable code in the examples project.

using IHost host = Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
    .ConfigureServices(services =>
    {
        services.AddPiaCtl();
        services.AddScoped<SomeClass>();
    })
    .ConfigureLogging(options =>
    {
        options.ClearProviders();
        options.AddConsole();
    })
    .Build();

Configuration

You can also pass a lambda function to AddPiaCtl to configure the path to your system's piactl application, if it differs from the default. On Windows, the default location is C:\Program Files\Private Internet Access\piactl.exe.

using IHost host = Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
    .ConfigureServices(services =>
    {
        services.AddPiaCtl(options =>
        {
            options.PiaPath = @"C:\path\to\piactl.exe";
        });
        services.AddScoped<SomeClass>();
    })
    .ConfigureLogging(options =>
    {
        options.ClearProviders();
        options.AddConsole();
    })
    .Build();
