Dependency Injection in 2sxc and EAV
Dependency Injection is a way to structure applications and to get Services or Helpers in your code.
👉 We suggest you read the introduction to Dependency Injection
Prefer Kit do GetService()
Important
It's recommended to use Kit instead of GetService() directly for better maintainability and readability.
The Kit object has almost all the services you'll ever need.
So the example which will be shown below, would usually be written like this:
@inherits Custom.Hybrid.RazorTyped
@Kit.Page.AddOpenGraph("video", "https://2sxc.org/videos/intro.mp4");
How Can I Use Dependency Injection in Razor?
Previously this was reserved for internal use. Starting in 2sxc v11.11 all Razor classes have a command called GetService. This is how your code would get a service:
@inherits Custom.Hybrid.Razor12
@GetService<ToSic.Sxc.Services.IPageService>().AddOpenGraph("video", "https://2sxc.org/videos/intro.mp4");
