FluentScanning.DependencyInjection 2.0.0

FluentScanning

A package that provides abstraction and common functionality for performing assembly scanning.

// Creating an instance of assembly scanning with defined scanning scope.
// AsseblyScanner's constructor accepts Type, Assembly, () => Type, () => Assembly as params.
// Assemblies extracted from them form a scanning scope (assemblies are distinct).
var scanner = new AssemblyScanner(typeof(IAssemblyMarker), typeof(object));

// Start a scanning query
var baseQuery = scanner.ScanForTypesThat()
    // Use extension methods to build up a query.
    .MustBeAssignableTo<Base>();
    
// All queries are immutable and they support query branching.
// It means that you can save a mid-query and build up queries in 
// different directions just like you would do with IEnumerable / IQueriable
var collectionQuery = baseQuery
    .AreInterfaces()
    .ToArray();

var notAbstractQuerty = baseQuery
    .AreNotAbstractClasses()
    // As the IScanningQuery implements IEnumerble<TypeInfo> you can use .AsType to convert it 
    // to  IEnumerable<Type> and enumerate over it.
    .AsTypes()
    .ToArray();

FluentScanning.DependencyInjection

A package that provide functionality for adding assembly scanning results to Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.IServiceCollection

The use of IDisposable pattern implemented to make scanning to IServiceCollection clean and explicit.
BE AWARE! The types are being added to the collection only after scanner is disposed.
As IScanningQuery support query branching, only "dangling" queries are added to IServiceCollection, but not the branching roots.

IServiceCollection collection = new ServiceCollection();

// Obtaining scanner from IServiceCollection, defining scanning scope 
// just like with AssemblyScanner's constructor.
using (var scanner = collection.UseAssemblyScanner(typeof(IAssemblyMarker)))
{
    // Query result would not be added to IServiceCollection.
    var baseQuery = scanner.EnqueueAdditionOfTypesThat()
        .WouldBeRegisteredAs<Base>()
        .WithSingletonLifetime()
        .MustBeAssignableTo<Base>();
        
    // Queries results will be added to IServiceCollection.
    baseQuery.AreNotAbstractClasses();
    baseQuery.AreValueTypes();
}

Registration as type constructed from given type

Unbound generic type is a generic type that does not have all his generic parameters bound with types, nor with type parameters. It can only be obtained as a runtime type by using typeof(IGeneric<>) statement or through reflection.

When you populate a generic type with a type arguments or parameters, your open or closed generic type would be constructed from that unbounded generic type.

You can register types as type constructed from given type using .WouldBeRegisteredAsTypesConstructedFrom extension method. As well as filtering types that are based on a type that is constructed from given type using .AreBasedOnTypesConstructedFrom extension method.

using (var scanner = collection.UseAssemblyScanner(typeof(IAssemblyMarker)))
{
    scanner.EnqueueAdditionOfTypesThat()
        .WouldBeRegisteredAsTypesConstructedFrom(typeof(IGeneric<>))
        .WithSingletonLifetime()
        .AreBasedOnTypesConstructedFrom(typeof(IGeneric<>))
        .AreNotAbstractClasses()
        .AreNotInterfaces();
}
