Why is this variable declared as private and also readonly?
- by Sergio Tapia
In the following code:
public class MovieRepository : IMovieRepository
{
private readonly IHtmlDownloader _downloader;
public MovieRepository(IHtmlDownloader downloader)
{
_downloader = downloader;
}
public Movie FindMovieById(string id)
{
var idUri = ...build URI...;
var html = _downloader.DownloadHtml(idUri);
return ...parse ID HTML...;
}
public Movie FindMovieByTitle(string title)
{
var titleUri = ...build URI...;
var html = _downloader.DownloadHtml(titleUri);
return ...parse title HTML...;
}
}
I asked for something to review my code, and someone suggested this approach. My question is why is the IHtmlDownloader variable readonly?
