Applications

Takes the kind of approach used in composing ASP.NET Core apps and makes it generic to all .NET Core (nothing ASP.NET-specific.)

Features:

• ServiceCollection
• Components can be

Extensibility

• Override AppHost to replace - IServiceCollection NewServiceCollection

Usage

• Create an AppHost
• Add components via Add()
• IsInitialized will be true

• Initialize()

  • Bootstrap()

    • IReadHandle components will be replaced with their targets
    • ITemplate components will be replaced with instantiations
    • IConfigures<IAppHost> components will configure the AppHost
    • IConfigures<IServiceCollection> components will configure services
    • ServiceProvider will be built from ServicesCollections (uses Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection by default, but overridable)
    • IRequiresServices components will have ServiceProvider injected
    • Properties marked [Dependency], or specified by IHasDependencyProperties will be injected from IServiceProvider

  • IInitializable components will be initialized - Initialize will be repeatedly invoked on components until they all return true. (If no progress is made, an exception is thrown.)
