+# Contextual Dependency Injection (Request Scope)
+
+*Read this in [English](./dependency-injection.md) or [Português (BR)](./dependency-injection.pt-BR.md).*
+
+**Contextual Dependency Injection (Request Scope)** in Horse enables the deterministic lifecycle management of service instances and classes directly coupled to the active HTTP request lifecycle.
+
+By registering request-scoped services, developers ensure complete thread-safe state isolation between concurrent requests and benefit from the automatic disposal of instantiated resources at the end of the HTTP routing pipeline. This eliminates memory leaks and the need for manual `try/finally` blocks inside route closures.
+
+---
+
+## 🗺️ Dependency Injection Lifecycle
+
+The lifecycle of the `Services` request property is described in the sequence diagram below:
+
+```mermaid

+    Note over Core: Destroys all owned instances (doOwnsValues)
+    Note over Core: Disposal Completed (Zero Memory Leaks!)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🛠️ Injection and Registration Modes
+
+The `Services` property offers two main ways to register dependencies, each with specific behaviors:
+
+### 1. Direct Instance Injection (`Add`)
+Registers a previously created object instance in the context of the current request. By default, the context class takes ownership of the object and destroys it automatically at the end of the request.
+
+```delphi
+Req.Services.Add(TMyService, TMyService.Create);
+```
+
+### 2. Lazy Injection via Factory (`AddFactory`)
+Registers a factory delegate that defines how to create the service on-demand (*Lazy Loading*). The service is only physically instantiated at the exact moment it is resolved (when calling `Resolve`). Once instantiated, it is cached in the context of the current request and automatically destroyed when the request ends.
+
+```delphi
+Req.Services.AddFactory(TMyService,
+  function: TObject
+  begin
+    Result := TMyService.Create;
+  end);
+```
+
+---
+
+## 💻 Complete Practical Example
+
+```delphi
+program ConsoleDependencyInjection;
+
+{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
+
+uses
+  Horse, Horse.Commons, System.SysUtils;
+
+type
+  TMyService = class
+  private
+    FId: string;
+  public
+    constructor Create(const AId: string);
+    destructor Destroy; override;
+    function GetMessage: string;
+  end;
+
+{ TMyService }
+
+constructor TMyService.Create(const AId: string);
+begin
+  inherited Create;
+  FId := AId;
+  Writeln(Format('[TMyService] Instantiated with ID: %s', [FId]));
+end;
+
+destructor TMyService.Destroy;
+begin
+  Writeln(Format('[TMyService] Destroyed with ID: %s (Automatically cleaned up)', [FId]));
+  inherited Destroy;
+end;
+
+function TMyService.GetMessage: string;
+begin
+  Result := 'Hello from a Contextual Service! ID: ' + FId;
+end;
+
+begin
+  // Route 1: Using Direct Instance Injection
+  THorse.Get('/resolve',
+    procedure(Req: THorseRequest; Res: THorseResponse; Next: TProc)
+    var
+      LService: TMyService;
+    begin
+      LService := TMyService.Create('Direct');
+      Req.Services.Add(TMyService, LService);
+      Next();
+    end,
+    procedure(Req: THorseRequest; Res: THorseResponse; Next: TProc)
+    var
+      LService: TMyService;
+    begin
+      LService := TMyService(Req.Services.Resolve(TMyService));
+      Res.Send(LService.GetMessage);
+    end);
+
+  // Route 2: Using Lazy Factory (Lazy Loading)
+  THorse.Get('/lazy',
+    procedure(Req: THorseRequest; Res: THorseResponse; Next: TProc)
+    begin
+      Req.Services.AddFactory(TMyService,
+        function: TObject
+        begin
+          Result := TMyService.Create('Lazy');
+        end);
+      Next();
+    end,
+    procedure(Req: THorseRequest; Res: THorseResponse; Next: TProc)
+    var
+      LService: TMyService;
+    begin
+      // The factory will be executed and the service instantiated only on the line below!
+      LService := TMyService(Req.Services.Resolve(TMyService));
+      Res.Send(LService.GetMessage);
+    end);
+
+  THorse.Listen(9000);
+end.
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📈 Architectural Benefits
+
+1. **Deterministic and Automatic Lifecycle:** Ensures resources are safely disposed of at the end of the HTTP routing pipeline, eliminating memory leaks.
+2. **Concurrent State Isolation:** Fully thread-safe, allowing each concurrent request to process its service instances in complete isolation, avoiding race conditions.
+3. **Native Lazy Initialization:** Reduced RAM footprint and faster request processing overheads using `AddFactory`, instantiating services only when required by the executed route.

+
+O **Gerenciamento e Injeção de Dependência Contextual (Request Scope)** no Horse permite o gerenciamento determinístico do ciclo de vida de instâncias de serviços e classes acopladas diretamente ao ciclo de vida da requisição HTTP ativa.
+
+Ao registrar serviços em escopo de requisição, o desenvolvedor garante o isolamento completo de estado entre requisições concorrentes (thread-safe) e conta com o descarte automático dos recursos instanciados ao final do pipeline de roteamento HTTP, eliminando por completo vazamentos de memória (memory leaks) e a necessidade de blocos `try/finally` manuais nas closures de rotas.

+
+## 🛠️ Modos de Injeção e Registro
+
+A propriedade `Services` fornece duas formas principais de registro de dependências com comportamentos específicos:
+
+### 1. Injeção de Instância Direta (`Add`)
+Registra uma instância de objeto previamente criada no contexto da requisição corrente. Por padrão, a classe gerenciadora assume a propriedade (ownership) do objeto, descartando-o automaticamente ao final do request.
+
+```delphi
+Req.Services.Add(TMyService, TMyService.Create);
+```
+
+### 2. Injeção Preguiçosa via Fábrica (`AddFactory`)
+Registra um delegate de fábrica (factory method) que define como criar o serviço sob demanda (*Lazy Loading*). O serviço só é instanciado fisicamente no primeiro momento em que for resolvido (chamada de `Resolve`). Uma vez instanciado, ele é cacheado no contexto da requisição corrente e destruído automaticamente ao término da requisição.
+
+```delphi
+Req.Services.AddFactory(TMyService,
+  function: TObject
+  begin
+    Result := TMyService.Create;
+  end);
+```
+
+---

+    begin
+      LService := TMyService(Req.Services.Resolve(TMyService));
+      Res.Send(LService.GetMessage);
+    end);

+    procedure(Req: THorseRequest; Res: THorseResponse; Next: TProc)
+    begin

+      Next();
+    end,
+    procedure(Req: THorseRequest; Res: THorseResponse; Next: TProc)
+    var
+      LService: TMyService;
+    begin
+      // A fábrica só será executada e o serviço só será instanciado na linha abaixo!

+      Res.Send(LService.GetMessage);
+    end);

+  THorse.Listen(9000);
+end.

+
+## 📈 Benefícios Arquiteturais
+
+1. **Ciclo de Vida Determinístico e Automático:** Garante o descarte seguro de recursos ao término do pipeline HTTP da requisição ativa, eliminando memory leaks.
+2. **Isolamento de Estado Concorrente:** Totalmente thread-safe, permitindo que cada thread/request trate suas instâncias de serviços de forma isolada, evitando race conditions.
+3. **Lazy Initialization nativa:** Redução no consumo de RAM e no tempo de inicialização de recursos pesados por meio do `AddFactory`, carregando somente o que é realmente demandado pela rota executada.

+description: Guide for managing request-scoped contextual services and IoC (dependency injection) in Delphi and Lazarus.
+---
+
+# Horse Contextual Dependency Injection (Request Scope)
+
+## 1. Request Scope Architecture
+The `Services` property in `THorseRequest` provides a thread-safe, request-scoped Inversion of Control (IoC) container. This container manages the lifecycle of classes and objects that need to exist only during the execution of a single HTTP request (e.g., database connections, repository patterns, user context).
+
+*   **Ownership**: The container takes ownership (`doOwnsValues := True`) of registered instances.
+*   **Automatic Disposal**: All registered service instances are automatically destroyed when the request finishes, eliminating memory leaks and removing the need for manual `try/finally` blocks inside route handlers.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Direct Instance Injection (`Add`)
+Use `Add` to register an already instantiated object. The container takes ownership and will destroy the instance when the request ends.
+
+```pascal
+procedure SetContextMiddleware(Req: THorseRequest; Res: THorseResponse; Next: TProc);
+var
+  LUserContext: TUserContext;
+begin
+  LUserContext := TUserContext.Create;
+  LUserContext.UserId := Req.Headers['X-User-ID'];
+  
+  // Register the instance
+  Req.Services.Add(TUserContext, LUserContext);
+  Next();
+end;
+
+procedure GetProfileHandler(Req: THorseRequest; Res: THorseResponse; Next: TProc);
+var
+  LUserContext: TUserContext;
+begin
+  // Resolve and use the registered service
+  LUserContext := TUserContext(Req.Services.Resolve(TUserContext));
+  Res.Send('Profile data for user: ' + LUserContext.UserId);
+end;
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Lazy Factory Injection (`AddFactory`)
+Use `AddFactory` to register a factory delegate. The object will only be instantiated at the exact moment `Resolve` is called (*Lazy Loading*). Once instantiated, it is cached for subsequent resolves in the same request and destroyed at the end.
+
+This is highly recommended for heavy resources (like database connections) that might not be needed in every execution path of a route.
+
+```pascal
+procedure RegisterDatabaseMiddleware(Req: THorseRequest; Res: THorseResponse; Next: TProc);
+begin
+  // Register the factory method
+  Req.Services.AddFactory(TFDConnection,
+    function: TObject
+    begin
+      Result := TFDConnection.Create(nil);
+      TFDConnection(Result).ConnectionDefName := 'PooledPGDef';
+      TFDConnection(Result).Connected := True;
+    end);
+  Next();
+end;
+
+procedure QueryUsersHandler(Req: THorseRequest; Res: THorseResponse; Next: TProc);
+var
+  LConnection: TFDConnection;
+  LQuery: TFDQuery;
+begin
+  // The connection is physically created and opened only on the next line!
+  LConnection := TFDConnection(Req.Services.Resolve(TFDConnection));
+  
+  LQuery := TFDQuery.Create(nil);
+  try
+    LQuery.Connection := LConnection;
+    LQuery.SQL.Text := 'SELECT id, name FROM users';
+    LQuery.Open;
+    Res.Send(LQuery.ToJSONArray);
+  finally
+    LQuery.Free;
+  end; // LConnection is automatically freed by the container when the request ends!
+end;
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. Best Practices for Dependency Injection in Horse
+1.  **Avoid Global Resolving**: Never resolve services outside the active request flow. The `Services` container belongs exclusively to the thread handling the current `THorseRequest`.
+2.  **Cast Returned Objects**: The `Resolve` method returns a raw `TObject` to preserve compatibility across old Delphi versions. You must cast it to your concrete class (e.g., `TMyService(Req.Services.Resolve(TMyService))`).
+3.  **One Registry Per Class Type**: Only one instance or factory can be registered per class type in the same request. Registering a class that is already registered will raise an exception.
+4.  **No Manual Frees**: Do not call `.Free` or `FreeAndNil` on objects resolved from `Req.Services` that you want to persist until the end of the request.
