DryIoc is fast, small, full-featured IoC Container for .NET

• Designed for low-ceremony use, performance, and extensibility.

• Supports: .NET 3.5+, .NET Standard 1.0, 1.3, 2.0, PCL Profiles 259, 328

• NuGet packages:

  • DryIoc.dll
  • DryIoc (source code)
  • DryIoc.Internal (source code with public types made internal)

• Release Notes :: Previous Versions

• Documentation

• How to contribute

• Check two original parts of DryIoc and now a standalone projects: FastExpressionCompiler and ImTools

Benchmarks

• Performance
• Features

Performance

• General use-cases optimized for max speed.
• Memory footprint preserved as small as possible.

Code

• No dependencies on the other libraries.
• Public API is fully documented.

Reliability

• 1000+ of acceptance tests.
• Thread-safe and lock-free registrations and resolutions.
• Detects recursive dependencies aka cycles in object graph.
• Throws exceptions as early as possible with a lot of details.
• Provides diagnostics for potential resolution problems via container.Validate().

Features

• Register interface/type mapping, additionally supported: registering service once, registration update, removing registration.
• Register user-defined delegate factory and register existing instance.
• Register implementation types from provided assemblies with automatically determined service types.
• Register with service key of arbitrary type, or register multiple non-keyed services.
• Register with resolution condition.
• Register with associated metadata object of arbitrary type.
• Resolve and ResolveMany.
• Unknown service resolution:
  • Optional automatic concrete types resolution
• Instance lifetime control or Reuse in DryIoc terms:
  • Nested disposable scopes with optional names
  • Ambient scope context
  • Supported out-of-the-box: Transient, Singleton, Scoped in multiple flavors, including scoped to specific service in object graph
  • useParentReuse and use useDecorateeReuse option for injected dependencies
  • Control reused objects behavior with preventDisposal and weaklyReferenced.
• Extensive Open-generics support: constraints, variance, complex nested, recurring generic definitions
• Constructor, and optional property and field injection.
• Static and Instance factory methods in addition to constructor. Factory method supports parameter injection the same way as constructor!
• Injecting properties and fields into existing object.
• Creating concrete object without registering it in Container but with injecting its parameters, properties, and fields.
• Generic wrappers:
  • Service collections: T[], IEnumerable<T>, LazyEnumerable<T>, and I(ReadOnly)Collection|List<T>.
  • Other: Lazy<T>, Func<T>, Meta<TMetadata, T> or Tuple<TMetadata, T>, KeyValuePair<TKey, T>, and user-defined wrappers.
  • Currying over constructor (or factory method) arguments: Func<TArg, T>, Func<TArg1, TArg2, T>, etc.
  • Nested wrappers: e.g. Tuple<SomeMetadata, Func<ISomeService>>[].
• Composite pattern: Composite itself is excluded from result collection.
• Decorator pattern.

Companions

DryIocAttributes

DryIocAttributes.dll
DryIocAttributes (sources)

• Extends MEF attributes to cover DryIoc features: metadata, advanced reuses, context based registration, decorators, etc.
• Does not depend on DryIoc and may be used by other IoC libraries.

DryIocZero

DryIocZero

Slim IoC Container based on service factory delegates generated at compile-time by DryIoc.

• Does not depend on DryIoc at run-time.
• Ensures zero application bootstrapping time associated with IoC registrations.
• Provides verification of DryIoc registration setup at compile-time by generating service factory delegates. Basically you can see how DryIoc is creating things.
• Supports everything registered in DryIoc: reuses, decorators, wrappers, etc.
• Much smaller and simpler than DryIoc itself. Works standalone without any run-time dependencies.
• Allows run-time registrations too. You may register instances and delegates at run-time.

Extensions

• DryIoc.MefAttributedModel for MEF Attributed Model

• ASP.NET:

  • DryIoc.Web
  • DryIoc.Mvc
  • DryIoc.WepApi
  • DryIoc.SignalR
  • DryIoc.Microsoft.DependencyInjection

• OWIN:

  • DryIoc.Owin
  • DryIoc.WebApi.Owin

• Nancy.Bootstrappers.DryIoc for NanxyFX

• Common Service Locator
