Structuremap and creating objects with initial state
- by Simon
I have an object which needs a dependency injected into it
public class FootballLadder
{
public FootballLadder(IMatchRepository matchRepository, int round)
{
// set initial state
this.matchRepo = matchRepository;
this.round = round;
}
public IEnumerable<LadderEntry> GetLadderEntries()
{
// calculate the ladder based on matches retrieved from the match repository
// return the calculated ladder
}
private IMatchRepository matchRepo;
private int round;
}
For arguments sake, lets assume that I can't pass the round parameter into the GetLadderEntries call itself.
Using StructureMap, how can I inject the dependency on the IMatchRepository and set the initial state? Or is this one of those cases where struggling against the framework is a sign the code should be refactored?
