AddService

Creates a new IService module of type T and calls ConfigureService so the module can add its own dependencies to the service collection. This is useful when a package or application groups related registrations behind a small startup class.

The generic type must implement IService and expose a public parameterless constructor. Use constructor-free service modules for simple registration bundles; use direct extension methods when registration requires runtime values such as configuration objects.

Usage

Program.cs

using AlmightyShogun.Utils;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;

ServiceCollection services = new();

services.AddService<ReportingServiceModule>();

ReportingServiceModule.cs

using AlmightyShogun.Utils;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;

public sealed class ReportingServiceModule : IService
{
    public IServiceCollection ConfigureService(IServiceCollection serviceCollection)
    {
        return serviceCollection.AddSingleton<ReportRenderer>();
    }
}

ReportRenderer.cs

public sealed class ReportRenderer
{
    public string Render(string title) => $"Report: {title}";
}

Returns

The IServiceCollection instance after the service module has configured it.

Type signature

public IServiceCollection AddService<T>() where T : IService, new();
