Dependency Injection

LightningPay.DependencyInjection package adds extension method to create the C-Lightning Client with .NET Core Dependency Injection in your startup file :

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
	///...
    
	services.AddCLightningClient(new Uri("tcp://127.0.0.1:9835"));
}

Use to the LightningPay Client

Once you register LightningPay, you can use the client in any object by dependency injection in constructor :

private readonly ILightningClient lightningClient;

public HomeController(ILightningClient lightningClient)
{
        this.lightningClient = lightningClient;
}

Sample

You can retrieve a code samples used Dependency Injection in the Visual Studio Solution WebApp.sln

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.AddControllersWithViews();

        services.AddCLightningClient(new Uri("tcp://127.0.0.1:9835"));
    }
