Installation

NuGet Packages

# Core factory library
dotnet add package BeyondNetCode.Shell.Factory

# Dependency Injection installer
dotnet add package BeyondNetCode.Shell.Factory.Installer

Packages Overview

Package	Description	NuGet
BeyondNetCode.Shell.Factory	Core factory patterns with fluent API	link
BeyondNetCode.Shell.Factory.Installer	Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection extensions	link

Features

• Configuration-Driven Factory: Create factories with setup records for cleaner instantiation
• Fluent API: Chain configuration with an expressive builder interface
• Interceptor Support: Add custom logic before/after object creation
• DI Integration: Seamless integration with Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection
• Generic Support: Work with generic types for better type safety
• Extensible: Easily add custom setup sources and interceptors

Quick Start

Define a Factory Record

public interface IDoSomething
{
    string DoIt(string name);
}

public class DoSomething : IDoSomething
{
    public string DoIt(string name) => $"Hello, {name}!";
}

Configure and Use

// Using fluent API
var factory = new FactorySetupCreateBuilder<IFactory>()
    .Create<DoSomething>()
    .When<Criteria>(c => c.Age > 18)
    .Build();

var service = factory.Create<DoSomething>();
var result = service.DoIt("World"); // "Hello, World!"

Register with DI

services.AddFactory(factory =>
{
    factory.Create<DoSomething>()
        .When<Criteria>(c => c.Age > 18)
        .Create<DoSomethingLessThan18>()
        .When<Criteria>(c => c.Age <= 18);
});
