Dependency Injection

While you're building your classes for automatic discovery, many of these classes will require access to the core's internal services.

If your class depends on one of our services, all you have to do is add it to your constructor and an instance will be passed in that you can work with.

The following services are available for insertion into your constructors:

• ILogManager
  Create your own named logger. Log entries will appear in the application log file and will be prefixed with the name of the logger for ease of reading.

• IServerApplicationPaths
  Contains a list of various application data paths

• IServerConfigurationManager
  Read and write server configuration data (and the above app paths)

• IJsonSerializer
  Get access to the core's json serializer.

• IXmlSerializer
  Get access to the core's xml serializer.

• ITaskManager
  Queue, execute and cancel scheduled tasks

• ILibraryManager
  Get information about the media library in a user-less fashion

• IUserManager
  Get information about each user as well as their customized media libraries

• ILocalizationManager
  Get lists of countries, localized display strings, parental ratings, etc.

• INetworkManager
  Get information about the user's computer network

• IZipClient
  Unzip files and streams

• IDtoService
  Create dto's from domain objects

• INotificationManager
