Async provider in .NET Core DI

Async provider in .NET Core DI

In .NET Core, the built-in dependency injection container supports registering asynchronous service providers. This can be useful when you need to create or retrieve a service asynchronously, for example when you need to query a database or make an HTTP request to retrieve a service.

To register an asynchronous service provider in .NET Core DI, you can use the AddAsyncInitializer method. Here is an example:

public async Task Main(string[] args) { var services = new ServiceCollection(); services.AddAsyncInitializer<MyService>(() => Task.FromResult(new MyService())); var serviceProvider = services.BuildServiceProvider(); var myService = await serviceProvider.GetServiceAsync<MyService>(); }

In this example, we first create a ServiceCollection and add an asynchronous initializer for the MyService type using the AddAsyncInitializer method. The initializer is a Func<Task<MyService>> that returns a Task that creates and returns an instance of MyService. We then build a service provider from the service collection and use the GetServiceAsync method to retrieve an instance of MyService.

Note that when you register an asynchronous service provider, you should always await the result of GetServiceAsync instead of calling GetService synchronously. This will ensure that the asynchronous initializer is awaited before the service is returned, so that the service is fully initialized before it is used.
