从 Static 工厂访问 ASP.NET 核心 DI 容器 Class

Question

I've created an ASP.NET Core MVC/WebApi site that has a RabbitMQ subscriber based off James Still's blog article Real-World PubSub Messaging with RabbitMQ .

In his article he uses a static class to start the queue subscriber and define the event handler for queued events. This static method then instantiates the event handler classes via a static factory class.

using RabbitMQ.Client;
using RabbitMQ.Client.Events;
using System;
using System.Text;

namespace NST.Web.MessageProcessing
{
    public static class MessageListener
    {
        private static IConnection _connection;
        private static IModel _channel;

        public static void Start(string hostName, string userName, string password, int port)
        {
            var factory = new ConnectionFactory
            {
                HostName = hostName,
                Port = port,
                UserName = userName,
                Password = password,
                VirtualHost = "/",
                AutomaticRecoveryEnabled = true,
                NetworkRecoveryInterval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(15)
            };

            _connection = factory.CreateConnection();
            _channel = _connection.CreateModel();
            _channel.ExchangeDeclare(exchange: "myExchange", type: "direct", durable: true);

            var queueName = "myQueue";

            QueueDeclareOk ok = _channel.QueueDeclare(queueName, true, false, false, null);

            _channel.QueueBind(queue: queueName, exchange: "myExchange", routingKey: "myRoutingKey");

            var consumer = new EventingBasicConsumer(_channel);
            consumer.Received += ConsumerOnReceived;

            _channel.BasicConsume(queue: queueName, noAck: false, consumer: consumer);

        }

        public static void Stop()
        {
            _channel.Close(200, "Goodbye");
            _connection.Close();
        }

        private static void ConsumerOnReceived(object sender, BasicDeliverEventArgs ea)
        {
            // get the details from the event
            var body = ea.Body;
            var message = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(body);
            var messageType = "endpoint";  // hardcoding the message type while we dev...

            // instantiate the appropriate handler based on the message type
            IMessageProcessor processor = MessageHandlerFactory.Create(messageType);
            processor.Process(message);

            // Ack the event on the queue
            IBasicConsumer consumer = (IBasicConsumer)sender;
            consumer.Model.BasicAck(ea.DeliveryTag, false);
        }

    }
}

It works great up to the point where I now need to resolve a service in my message processor factory rather than just write to the console.

using NST.Web.Services;
using System;

namespace NST.Web.MessageProcessing
{
    public static class MessageHandlerFactory
    {
        public static IMessageProcessor Create(string messageType)
        {
            switch (messageType.ToLower())
            {
                case "ipset":
                    // need to resolve IIpSetService here...
                    IIpSetService ipService = ???????

                    return new IpSetMessageProcessor(ipService);

                case "endpoint":
                    // need to resolve IEndpointService here...
                    IEndpointService epService = ???????

                    // create new message processor
                    return new EndpointMessageProcessor(epService);

                default:
                    throw new Exception("Unknown message type");
            }
        }
    }
}

Is there any way to access the ASP.NET Core IoC container to resolve the dependencies? I don't really want to have to spin up the whole stack of dependencies by hand:(

Or, is there a better way to subscribe to RabbitMQ from an ASP.NET Core application? I found RestBus but it's not been updated for Core 1.x

Answer 1

You can avoid the static classes and use Dependency Injection all the way through combined with:

• The use of IApplicationLifetime to start/stop the listener whenever the application starts/stops.
• The use of IServiceProvider to create instances of the message processors.

First thing, let's move the configuration to its own class that can be populated from the appsettings.json:

public class RabbitOptions
{
    public string HostName { get; set; }
    public string UserName { get; set; }
    public string Password { get; set; }
    public int Port { get; set; }
}

// In appsettings.json:
{
  "Rabbit": {
    "hostName": "192.168.99.100",
    "username": "guest",
    "password": "guest",
    "port": 5672
  }
}

Next, convert MessageHandlerFactory into a non-static class that receives an IServiceProvider as a dependency. It will use the service provider to resolve the message processor instances:

public class MessageHandlerFactory
{
    private readonly IServiceProvider services;
    public MessageHandlerFactory(IServiceProvider services)
    {
        this.services = services;
    }

    public IMessageProcessor Create(string messageType)
    {
        switch (messageType.ToLower())
        {
            case "ipset":
                return services.GetService<IpSetMessageProcessor>();                
            case "endpoint":
                return services.GetService<EndpointMessageProcessor>();
            default:
                throw new Exception("Unknown message type");
        }
    }
}

This way your message processor classes can receive in the constructor any dependencies they need (as long as you configure them in Startup.ConfigureServices ). For example, I am injecting an ILogger into one of my sample processors:

public class IpSetMessageProcessor : IMessageProcessor
{
    private ILogger<IpSetMessageProcessor> logger;
    public IpSetMessageProcessor(ILogger<IpSetMessageProcessor> logger)
    {
        this.logger = logger;
    }

    public void Process(string message)
    {
        logger.LogInformation("Received message: {0}", message);
    }
}

Now convert MessageListener into a non-static class that depends on IOptions<RabbitOptions> and MessageHandlerFactory .It's very similar to your original one, I just replaced the parameters of the Start methods with the options dependency and the handler factory is now a dependency instead of a static class:

public class MessageListener
{
    private readonly RabbitOptions opts;
    private readonly MessageHandlerFactory handlerFactory;
    private IConnection _connection;
    private IModel _channel;

    public MessageListener(IOptions<RabbitOptions> opts, MessageHandlerFactory handlerFactory)
    {
        this.opts = opts.Value;
        this.handlerFactory = handlerFactory;
    }

    public void Start()
    {
        var factory = new ConnectionFactory
        {
            HostName = opts.HostName,
            Port = opts.Port,
            UserName = opts.UserName,
            Password = opts.Password,
            VirtualHost = "/",
            AutomaticRecoveryEnabled = true,
            NetworkRecoveryInterval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(15)
        };

        _connection = factory.CreateConnection();
        _channel = _connection.CreateModel();
        _channel.ExchangeDeclare(exchange: "myExchange", type: "direct", durable: true);

        var queueName = "myQueue";

        QueueDeclareOk ok = _channel.QueueDeclare(queueName, true, false, false, null);

        _channel.QueueBind(queue: queueName, exchange: "myExchange", routingKey: "myRoutingKey");

        var consumer = new EventingBasicConsumer(_channel);
        consumer.Received += ConsumerOnReceived;

        _channel.BasicConsume(queue: queueName, noAck: false, consumer: consumer);

    }

    public void Stop()
    {
        _channel.Close(200, "Goodbye");
        _connection.Close();
    }

    private void ConsumerOnReceived(object sender, BasicDeliverEventArgs ea)
    {
        // get the details from the event
        var body = ea.Body;
        var message = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(body);
        var messageType = "endpoint";  // hardcoding the message type while we dev...
        //var messageType = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(ea.BasicProperties.Headers["message-type"] as byte[]);

        // instantiate the appropriate handler based on the message type
        IMessageProcessor processor = handlerFactory.Create(messageType);
        processor.Process(message);

        // Ack the event on the queue
        IBasicConsumer consumer = (IBasicConsumer)sender;
        consumer.Model.BasicAck(ea.DeliveryTag, false);
    }
}

Almost there, you will need to update the Startup.ConfigureServices method so it knows about your services and options (You can create interfaces for the listener and handler factory if you want):

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{            
    // ...

    // Add RabbitMQ services
    services.Configure<RabbitOptions>(Configuration.GetSection("rabbit"));
    services.AddTransient<MessageListener>();
    services.AddTransient<MessageHandlerFactory>();
    services.AddTransient<IpSetMessageProcessor>();
    services.AddTransient<EndpointMessageProcessor>();
}

Finally, update the Startup.Configure method to take an extra IApplicationLifetime parameter and start/stop the message listener in the ApplicationStarted / ApplicationStopped events (Although I noticed a while ago some issues with the ApplicationStopping event using IISExpress, as in this question ):

public MessageListener MessageListener { get; private set; }
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory, IApplicationLifetime appLifetime)
{
    appLifetime.ApplicationStarted.Register(() =>
    {
        MessageListener = app.ApplicationServices.GetService<MessageListener>();
        MessageListener.Start();
    });
    appLifetime.ApplicationStopping.Register(() =>
    {
        MessageListener.Stop();
    });

    // ...
}

Answer 2

Even though using Dependency Injection is a better solution, but in some cases you have to use static methods (like in Extension Methods).

For those cases you can add a static property to your static class and initialize it in your ConfigureServices method.

For example:

public static class EnumExtentions
{
    static public IStringLocalizerFactory StringLocalizerFactory { set; get; }

    public static string GetDisplayName(this Enum e)
    {
        var resourceManager = StringLocalizerFactory.Create(e.GetType());
        var key = e.ToString();
        var resourceDisplayName = resourceManager.GetString(key);

        return resourceDisplayName;
    }
}

and in your ConfigureServices:

EnumExtentions.StringLocalizerFactory = services.BuildServiceProvider().GetService<IStringLocalizerFactory>();

Answer 3

I know my answer is late, but I wanted to share how I did it.

First of all : It's Antipattern to use ServiceLocator so try not to use it as you can. In my case I needed it to call MediatR inside of my DomainModel to implement the DomainEvents logic.

However , I had to find a way to call a static class in my DomainModel to get an instance of some registered service from DI.

So I've decided to use the HttpContext to access the IServiceProvider but I needed to access it from a static method without mention it in my domain model.

Let's do it:

1- I've created an interface to wrap the IServiceProvider

public interface IServiceProviderProxy
{
    T GetService<T>();
    IEnumerable<T> GetServices<T>();
    object GetService(Type type);
    IEnumerable<object> GetServices(Type type);
}

2- Then I've created a static class to be my ServiceLocator access point

public static class ServiceLocator
{
    private static IServiceProviderProxy diProxy;

    public static IServiceProviderProxy ServiceProvider => diProxy ?? throw new Exception("You should Initialize the ServiceProvider before using it.");

    public static void Initialize(IServiceProviderProxy proxy)
    {
        diProxy = proxy;
    }
}

3- I've created an implementation for the IServiceProviderProxy which use internally the IHttpContextAccessor

public class HttpContextServiceProviderProxy : IServiceProviderProxy
{
    private readonly IHttpContextAccessor contextAccessor;

    public HttpContextServiceProviderProxy(IHttpContextAccessor contextAccessor)
    {
        this.contextAccessor = contextAccessor;
    }

    public T GetService<T>()
    {
        return contextAccessor.HttpContext.RequestServices.GetService<T>();
    }

    public IEnumerable<T> GetServices<T>()
    {
        return contextAccessor.HttpContext.RequestServices.GetServices<T>();
    }

    public object GetService(Type type)
    {
        return contextAccessor.HttpContext.RequestServices.GetService(type);
    }

    public IEnumerable<object> GetServices(Type type)
    {
        return contextAccessor.HttpContext.RequestServices.GetServices(type);
    }
}

4- I should register the IServiceProviderProxy in the DI like this

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddHttpContextAccessor();
    services.AddSingleton<IServiceProviderProxy, HttpContextServiceProviderProxy>();
    .......
}

5- Final step is to initialize the ServiceLocator with an instance of IServiceProviderProxy at the Application startup

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env,IServiceProvider sp)
{
    ServiceLocator.Initialize(sp.GetService<IServiceProviderProxy>());
}

As a result now you can call the ServiceLocator in your DomainModel classes "Or and needed place" and resolve the dependencies that you need.

public class FakeModel
{
    public FakeModel(Guid id, string value)
    {
        Id = id;
        Value = value;
    }

    public Guid Id { get; }
    public string Value { get; private set; }

    public async Task UpdateAsync(string value)
    {
        Value = value;
        var mediator = ServiceLocator.ServiceProvider.GetService<IMediator>();
        await mediator.Send(new FakeModelUpdated(this));
    }
}

Answer 4

Here is my opinion about your case:

If possible i would send resolved service as a parameter

public static IMessageProcessor Create(string messageType, IIpSetService ipService)
{
    //
}

Otherwise service lifetime would be important.

If service is singleton i would just set dependency on configure method:

 // configure method
public IApplicationBuilder Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
    var ipService = app.ApplicationServices.GetService<IIpSetService>();
    MessageHandlerFactory.IIpSetService = ipService;
}

// static class
public static IIpSetService IpSetService;

public static IMessageProcessor Create(string messageType)
{
    // use IpSetService
}

If service lifetime is scoped i would use HttpContextAccessor:

//Startup.cs
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddSingleton<IHttpContextAccessor, HttpContextAccessor>();
}

public IApplicationBuilder Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
    var httpContextAccessor= app.ApplicationServices.GetService<IHttpContextAccessor>();
    MessageHandlerFactory.HttpContextAccessor = httpContextAccessor;
}

// static class
public static IHttpContextAccessor HttpContextAccessor;

public static IMessageProcessor Create(string messageType)
{
    var ipSetService = HttpContextAccessor.HttpContext.RequestServices.GetService<IIpSetService>();
    // use it
}

Answer 5

Here is a good implementation of ServiceLocator it is using Scope also. So will work for even IHttpContextAccessor!

Just copy this class into your code. And then register ServiceLocator

 ServiceActivator.Configure(app.ApplicationServices);

IMPORTANT NOTE : ServiceLocator is consider as ANTI-PATTERN so do not use it if you have ANY other choice!!!!

Answer 6

About answer of Wahid Bitar

Amazing. For .Net Core 6 I do on Program.cs :

builder.Services.AddSingleton<IServiceProviderProxy, HttpContextServiceProviderProxy>();

ServiceLocator.Initialize(app.Services.GetService<IServiceProviderProxy>());

Answer 7

You can get the service reference in Configure :

app.UseMvc();
var myServiceRef = app.ApplicationServices.GetService<MyService>();

and then ie pass it to an init function or set a static member on a class

of course dependency injection would be a better solution as explained in the other answers ...
