Bootstrapping In a Website

The Cofoundry.Plugins.DependencyInjection.AutoFac.Web can be used to bootstrap your web application, which provides the following:

• Registers all Cofoundry and auto-registered dependencies
• Registers the MVC, WebApi and the common service locators
• Registers all MVC & WebApi controllers

Registration must be done before Cofoundry is initialized, i.e.

using Microsoft.Owin;
using Owin;
using Cofoundry.Plugins.DependencyInjection.AutoFac.Web;
using Cofoundry.Web;

[assembly: OwinStartup(typeof(MySite.Startup))]

namespace MySite 
{
    public class Startup
    {
        public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
        {
            app.UseCofoundryAutoFacIntegration();
            app.UseCofoundry();
        }
    } 
}

Bootstrapping Manually

Outside of a web scenario, you can configure your Autofac container manually and add Cofoundry registrations using the AutoFacContainerBuilder

using AutoFac;
using Cofoundry.Plugins.DependencyInjection.AutoFac;

var autoFacBuilder = new ContainerBuilder();
var cofoundryBuilder = new AutoFacContainerBuilder(autoFacBuilder);

cofoundryBuilder.Build();
