I have just installed the mvc4 rc update and I am trying to build an api application with little luck.
I am using ninject but cant get my controllers to load. I keep getting an error
Type 'Api.Controllers.ConsumerController' does not have a default constructor
I am very new to mvc and using injection so please bear with me.
I havent done anything special to the default binding that is created via nuget
public static class NinjectWebCommon
{
private static readonly Bootstrapper bootstrapper = new Bootstrapper();
/// <summary>
/// Starts the application
/// </summary>
public static void Start()
{
DynamicModuleUtility.RegisterModule(typeof(OnePerRequestHttpModule));
DynamicModuleUtility.RegisterModule(typeof(NinjectHttpModule));
bootstrapper.Initialize(CreateKernel);
}
/// <summary>
/// Stops the application.
/// </summary>
public static void Stop()
{
bootstrapper.ShutDown();
}
/// <summary>
/// Creates the kernel that will manage your application.
/// </summary>
/// <returns>The created kernel.</returns>
private static IKernel CreateKernel()
{
var kernel = new StandardKernel();
kernel.Bind<Func<IKernel>>().ToMethod(ctx => () => new Bootstrapper().Kernel);
kernel.Bind<IHttpModule>().To<HttpApplicationInitializationHttpModule>();
RegisterServices(kernel);
return kernel;
}
/// <summary>
/// Load your modules or register your services here!
/// </summary>
/// <param name="kernel">The kernel.</param>
private static void RegisterServices(IKernel kernel)
{
kernel.Bind<IConsumerRepository>().To<ConsumerRepository>();
}
}
My controller looks like
private readonly IConsumerRepository _repository;
public ConsumerController(IConsumerRepository repository)
{
_repository = repository;
}
[HttpGet]
public IQueryable<Consumer> Get(Guid id)
{
return _repository.Get(id).AsQueryable();
}
What do I need to do to get the api controllers to work with ninject?
Sorry if this is simple stuff
I tried your suggestion Michael however after changing the the webcommon.cs to this
private static IKernel CreateKernel()
{
var kernel = new StandardKernel();
kernel.Bind<Func<IKernel>>().ToMethod(ctx => () => new Bootstrapper().Kernel);
kernel.Bind<IHttpModule>().To<HttpApplicationInitializationHttpModule>();
RegisterServices(kernel);
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.DependencyResolver = new NinjectDependencyResolver(kernel);
return kernel;
}
/// <summary>
/// Load your modules or register your services here!
/// </summary>
/// <param name="kernel">The kernel.</param>
private static void RegisterServices(IKernel kernel)
{
kernel.Bind<IConsumerRepository>().To<ConsumerRepository>();
}
I get an error when
var kernel = new StandardKernel();
is called
Method 'GetFilters' in type 'Ninject.Web.WebApi.Filter.DefaultFilterProvider' from assembly 'Ninject.Web.WebApi, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c7192dc5380945e7' does not have an implementation.
What am I missing?
