Castle Windsor: Register by Convention with Named part

Question

I'm using Castle Windsor as my DI container. I registered my service specifying a name:

container.Register(Component.For<MyService>().Named("MyService"));

The problem is that I have a lot of services in my system and I'm tired of register each one of them. how can I do this by convention without loosing the Named part? (I don't mind calling my services with the same name as the class)

Answer 1

You can use the following to register all services deriving from some base/interface and then configure their name:

WindsorContainer container = new WindsorContainer();
container.Register(Classes.FromThisAssembly()
                          .BasedOn<IService>()
                          .Configure(c => c.Named(c.Implementation.Name)));

For the following example:

public interface IService { }
public class Service1 : IService { }
public class Service2 : IService { }
public class Service3 : IService { }
public class Service4 : IService { }
public class Service5 : IService { }
public class Service6 : IService { }

Output was:

There are additional ways for selecting which classes to register. See more in documentation
