Dependency Injection Release Notes

v4

4.0 - May 18, 2026

Feature

New services.OnResolved<TService>(hook) chain method — wraps the last service descriptor’s factory with a callback that fires after the container constructs the instance but before it’s returned. Fires once per construction (singleton: once; scoped: per-scope; transient: per-resolve)

Enhancement

OnResolved is fully AOT-clean — no reflection. It wraps factory-based descriptors only; type-based registrations like AddSingleton<TService, TImpl>() and pre-built instance registrations throw a clear error directing users to a factory registration (AddSingleton<TService>(sp => new TImpl(...)))

Enhancement

AddSingletonAsImplementedInterfaces<TImpl> and AddScopedAsImplementedInterfaces<TImpl> now propagate [DynamicallyAccessedMembers(PublicConstructors | Interfaces)] on TImpl, so trimmer/AOT analyzers preserve constructors and interface metadata without warnings

Enhancement

GetLazyService<T> now constrains where T : notnull and suppresses the IL2091 warning from Lazy<T>’s default-constructor requirement (we always pass a Func<T>, so the requirement isn’t exercised)

Fix

Keyed forwarders in AddSingletonAsImplementedInterfaces / AddScopedAsImplementedInterfaces now resolve via GetRequiredKeyedService<TImpl>(key) — the previous non-keyed GetRequiredService<TImpl> lookup meant keyed registrations could not actually resolve their interfaces end-to-end

v3

3.0 - April 29, 2026

Feature

New [Tool] attribute for interfaces — mark methods with [Description] to automatically generate AIFunction classes compatible with Microsoft.Extensions.AI

Feature

Generated AddGeneratedAITools() extension method registers all AI tools as transient services in the DI container

Enhancement

AI tool generation is conditional — only emits code when Microsoft.Extensions.AI is referenced in the project

Enhancement

AOT-safe argument extraction for all standard types (string, int, Guid, DateTime, DateOnly, TimeOnly, TimeSpan, decimal, enums, and more) using direct JsonElement accessors instead of reflection

Enhancement

CancellationToken parameters are automatically passed through to the service method and excluded from AI tool metadata

Enhancement

Parameter [Description] attributes are propagated to AIFunctionParameterMetadata for rich tool schemas

v2

2.0 - March 9, 2026

BREAKING Feature

We now use module initializers and a global service registry along with a new defined method services.AddShinyServiceRegistry() that pulls in all registered values

BREAKING Enhancement

Namespace changed from Shiny.Extensions.DependencyInjection to Shiny — no more verbose usings needed

BREAKING Enhancement

Removed IShinyStartupTask and RunStartupTasks() — use hosted services or module-based initialization instead

1.3.1 - September 19, 2025

Fix

Type and AsSelf was being ignored if a base class is being used

v1.3.0 - September 16, 2025

Enhancement

DI registration now supports AsSelf which allows an implementation to be registered directly

1.2.2 - July 26, 2025

Fix

Booleans with false were not binding properly on stores

1.2.1 - July 15, 2025

Enhancement

Logging has been optionally enabled throughout the DI binding

1.2 - July 14, 2025

Enhancement

ServiceAttribute now has a TryAdd property that will call the appropriate service lifetime method

Enhancement

Additional SingletonAttribute, ScopedAttribute, and TransientAttribute to remove the need for multiple namespaces

Enhancement

Type property on service attribute allows you to override which interface is used in multiple interface scenarios

1.1 - July 13, 2025

Feature

ServiceAttribute now accepts a Category. Categories allow you to pass an argument to the AddGeneratedServices that only get instantiate if you pass that category name. Great for unit testing or dev vs production

Enhancement

Now works with records

BREAKING Fix

ServiceAttribute KeyedName name parameter was moved from the constructor to a property

1.0 - July 3, 2025

Feature
