Micosoft Dependency Injection service extensions with ReflectionEventing, which promotes better Inversion of Control (IoC), reducing coupling and enhancing the modularity and flexibility of your applications.
Created with ❤ in Poland by lepo.co
ReflectionEventing is a powerful tool for developers looking to create decoupled designs in WPF, WinForms, or CLI applications. By leveraging the power of Dependency Injection (DI) and eventing, ReflectionEventing promotes better Inversion of Control (IoC), reducing coupling and enhancing the modularity and flexibility of your applications.
👀 What does this repo contain?
This repository houses the source code for the ReflectionEventing NuGet package. The package utilizes C# reflection to register services that can listen for and respond to local events.
In this step, we register our ViewModel as a singleton and add it as a consumer to the event bus. This allows the ViewModel to listen for events published on the bus.
Here, we create a background service that publishes an event on the event bus. This event could be anything - in this case, we're publishing a BackgroundTicked event.
public class MyBackgroundService(IEventBus eventBus)
{
public void PublishEvent()
{
eventBus.Publish(new BackgroundTicked());
}
}
3. Listen for Events
Finally, we implement the IConsumer<T> interface in our ViewModel. This allows the ViewModel to consume BackgroundTicked events. When a BackgroundTicked event is published, the ConsumeAsync method is called, and we update the CurrentTick property.
public partial class MainWindowViewModel : ObservableObject, IConsumer<BackgroundTicked>
{
[ObservableProperty]
private int _currentTick = 0;
public Task ConsumeAsync(BackgroundTicked payload, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
CurrentTick = payload.Value;
return Task.CompletedTask;
}
}
