Register Plain C# Type

There are various ways to use Register. Let's take the following complex type as an example.

class ServiceA : IServiceA, IInputPort, IDisposable { /* ... */ }

Register Concrete Type​

builder.Register<ServiceA>(Lifetime.Singleton);

It can resolve like this:

class ClassA
{
    public ClassA(ServiceA serviceA) { /* ... */ }
}

Register as Interface​

builder.Register<IServiceA, ServiceA>();

It can resolve like this:

class ClassA
{
    public ClassA(IServiceA serviceA) { /* ... */ }
}

Register as multiple Interface​

builder.Register<ServiceA>(Lifetime.Singleton)
    .As<IServiceA, IInputPort>();

It can resolve like this:

class ClassA
{
    public ClassA(IServiceA serviceA) { /* ... */ }
}

class ClassB
{
    public ClassB(IInputPort inputPort) { /* ... */ }
}

Register all implemented interfaces automatically​

builder.Register<ServiceA>(Lifetime.Singleton)
    .AsImplementedInterfaces();

It can resolve like this:

class ClassA
{
    public ClassA(IServiceA serviceA) { /* ... */ }
}

class ClassB
{
    public ClassB(IInputPort inputPort) { /* ... */ }
}

Register all implemented interfaces and concrete type​

builder.Register<ServiceA>(Lifetime.Singleton)
    .AsImplementedInterfaces()
    .AsSelf();

It can resolve like this:

class ClassA
{
    public ClassA(IServiceA serviceA) { /* ... */ }
}

class ClassB
{
    public ClassB(IInputPort inputPort) { /* ... */ }
}

class ClassC
{
    public ClassC(ServiceA serviceA) { /* ... */ }
}

Register lifecycle marker interfaces​

class GameController : IStartable, ITickable, IDisposable { /* ... */ }
builder.RegisterEntryPoint<GameController>();
note

This is similar to Register<GameController>(Lifetime.Singleton).AsImplementedInterfaces() . The key difference is whether it runs in PlayerLoopSystem or not.

If you want to customize the exception handling for entry points, you can register a callback with the following.

builder.RegisterEntryPointExceptionHandler(ex =>
{
    UnityEngine.Debug.LogException(ex);
    // Additional process ...
});

If you have multiple EntryPoints, you have the option to use the following declaration as grouping.

builder.UseEntryPoints(entryPoints =>
{
   entryPoints.Add<ScopedEntryPointA>();
   entryPoints.Add<ScopedEntryPointB>();
   entryPoints.Add<ScopedEntryPointC>().AsSelf();
   entryPoints.OnException(ex => ...)
});

This is the same as:

builder.RegisterEntryPoint<ScopedEntryPointA>();
builder.RegisterEntryPoint<ScopedEntryPointB>();
builder.RegisterEntryPoint<ScopedEntryPointC>().AsSelf();
builder.RegisterEntryPointExceptionHandler(ex => ...);

See the Plain C# Entry point section for more information.

Register instance​

// ...
var obj = new ServiceA();
// ...

builder.RegisterInstance(obj);
note

RegisterIntance always has a Singleton lifetime, so it has no arguments.

It can resolve like this:

class ClassA
{
    public ClassA(ServiceA serviceA) { /* ... */ }
}
note

Instances registered with RegisterInstance are not managed by the container.

  • Dispose will not be executed automatically.
  • Method Injection will not be executed automatically

If you want the container to manage the created instances, consider using the following instead

Register instance as interface​

Use As* declarations.

builder.RegisterInstance<IInputPort>(serviceA);

builder.RegisterInstance(serviceA)
    .As<IServiceA, IInputPort>();

builder.RegisterInstance(serviceA)
    .AsImplementedInterfaces();

Register type-specific parameters​

If the types are not unique, but you have a dependency you want to inject at startup, you can use the following:

builder.Register<SomeService>(Lifetime.Singleton)
    .WithParameter<string>("http://example.com");

Or, you can name a paramter with a key.

builder.Register<SomeService>(Lifetime.Singleton)
    .WithParameter("url", "http://example.com");

It can resolve like this:

class SomeService
{
    public SomeService(string url) { /* ... */ }
}

This Register only works when being injected into SomeService.

class OtherClass
{
    // ! Error
    public OtherClass(string hogehoge) { /* ... */ }
}
