Categories

Categories solve the problem of needing different service registrations for different environments. Tag services with a category, and they’re only registered when that category is activated:

[Singleton(Category = "Test")]
public class MockPaymentService : IPaymentService;

[Singleton(Category = "Production")]
public class StripePaymentService : IPaymentService;

// Production startup — registers all uncategorized services + "Production" tagged services
builder.Services.AddShinyServiceRegistry("Production");

// Test startup — registers all uncategorized services + "Test" tagged services
services.AddShinyServiceRegistry("Test");

// Multiple categories
services.AddShinyServiceRegistry("Production", "Analytics");

Helper Extensions

Additional extension methods on IServiceCollection:

// Register against all implemented interfaces
services.AddSingletonAsImplementedInterfaces<MyService>();
services.AddScopedAsImplementedInterfaces<MyService>();

// Keyed variant
services.AddSingletonAsImplementedInterfaces<MyService>("keyName");

// Check registrations
bool hasService = services.HasService<IMyService>();
bool hasImpl = services.HasImplementation<MyService>();

// Lazy resolution
Lazy<IMyService> lazy = services.GetLazyService<IMyService>(required: true);
