NuGet packages

CSF.DecoratorBuilder consists of three NuGet packages. Most applications only need to depend upon a maximum of two of them.

If you are using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection

If the dependency injection for your application is based upon any implementation of Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.IServiceCollection then you may use the following two packages:

• CSF.DecoratorBuilder.Abstractions
• CSF.DecoratorBuilder.Extensions.DependencyInjection

The abstractions package is very small and unlikely to undergo significant changes as versions increment. If you wish to write factory classes/services within your application logic, outside of projects which deal with dependency injection directly, then this package is quite safe to add as a dependency. This provides access to the interface IGetsDecoratedService which may be constructor-injected into your own logic, to build services.

The other package, above, is only required as a reference in your startup project (or wherever dependency injection is configured). See the API documentation for information about how to install the decorator builder into your app.

If you are using Autofac

If your dependency injection is based upon Autofac, then the packages which shall be used by your app are:

• CSF.DecoratorBuilder.Abstractions
• CSF.DecoratorBuilder.Autofac

Notice that the abstractions package is present here also, exactly the same as noted above applies. You may use the IGetsDecoratedService interface from that package to create decorator-based services in your own app.

The other package, above, is only required as a reference in your startup project (or wherever dependency injection is configured). As above the API documentation has a writeup of how to install the library into your app.
