I created an .NET Core MVC application and use Dependency Injection and Repository Pattern to inject a repository to my controller. However, I am getting an error:
InvalidOperationException: Unable to resolve service for type ‘WebApplication1.Data.BloggerRepository’ while attempting to activate ‘WebApplication1.Controllers.BlogController’.
Model (Blog.cs)
namespace WebApplication1.Models
{
public class Blog
{
public int BlogId { get; set; }
public string Url { get; set; }
}
}
DbContext (BloggingContext.cs)
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using WebApplication1.Models;
namespace WebApplication1.Data
{
public class BloggingContext : DbContext
{
public BloggingContext(DbContextOptions<BloggingContext> options)
: base(options)
{ }
public DbSet<Blog> Blogs { get; set; }
}
}
Repository (IBloggerRepository.cs & BloggerRepository.cs)
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using WebApplication1.Models;
namespace WebApplication1.Data
{
internal interface IBloggerRepository : IDisposable
{
IEnumerable<Blog> GetBlogs();
void InsertBlog(Blog blog);
void Save();
}
}
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using WebApplication1.Models;
namespace WebApplication1.Data
{
public class BloggerRepository : IBloggerRepository
{
private readonly BloggingContext _context;
public BloggerRepository(BloggingContext context)
{
_context = context;
}
public IEnumerable<Blog> GetBlogs()
{
return _context.Blogs.ToList();
}
public void InsertBlog(Blog blog)
{
_context.Blogs.Add(blog);
}
public void Save()
{
_context.SaveChanges();
}
private bool _disposed;
protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
if (!_disposed)
{
if (disposing)
{
_context.Dispose();
}
}
_disposed = true;
}
public void Dispose()
{
Dispose(true);
GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
}
}
}
Startup.cs (relevant code)
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
// Add framework services.
services.AddDbContext<BloggingContext>(options =>
options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));
services.AddScoped<IBloggerRepository, BloggerRepository>();
services.AddMvc();
// Add application services.
services.AddTransient<IEmailSender, AuthMessageSender>();
services.AddTransient<ISmsSender, AuthMessageSender>();
}
Controller (BlogController.cs)
using System.Linq;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using WebApplication1.Data;
using WebApplication1.Models;
namespace WebApplication1.Controllers
{
public class BlogController : Controller
{
private readonly IBloggerRepository _repository;
public BlogController(BloggerRepository repository)
{
_repository = repository;
}
public IActionResult Index()
{
return View(_repository.GetBlogs().ToList());
}
public IActionResult Create()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public IActionResult Create(Blog blog)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
_repository.InsertBlog(blog);
_repository.Save();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
return View(blog);
}
}
}
I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Any ideas?
