AddTransient

[Scott]

Hello,

Can someone please explain to me what the following line is doing:

this.services.AddTransient(ctx => new ReportsController(new ConfigurationService(env)));

I don't need to add any of my other controllers to the Startup.cs file. I would like to really understand this so as much detail as possible or a link to an article would be very helpful.

Thank you,

Scott

Hi Scott,

When inheriting the ReportsControllerBase controller basic configuration is needed. An object implementing the IReportServiceConfiguration should be provided in order to configure the report service. This should be done in the controllers' constructor using static object to preserve the configuration between requests or using dependency injection.
ASP.NET Core has built-in support for dependency injection. We are using this functionality to pass the configuration of the Reporting Engine to the ReportsController instances. Since this is a lightweight service the service lifetime is set to transient. More on this topic can be found in Dependency injection in ASP.NET Core.
