Building a Web API 2 project from scratch using OWIN/Katana .NET Part 5: adding an IoC

Introduction

In the previous post we transformed the CustomersApi application a little bit. We added a customer repository and a customer service. We also transformed the Get action method of CustomersController into an asynchronous one.

We ended up having to construct the dependencies of CustomersController in the constructor like this:

public CustomersController()
{
	_customerService = new CustomerService(new CustomerRepository());
}

In this post we’ll get rid of this direct control over the controller dependencies. Instead, we’ll let an ICustomerService object be injected into the controller through its constructor.
