Access @Inject variable in @code - .net Core Blazor

I am new to Blazor .net Core. I have injected service settings in my .razor page

@inject Microsoft.Extensions.Options.IOptions<Configuration> Configuration

Next I have @code directive below that initialise the _m object

@code 
{
    private ViewModel _m = new ViewModel(Configuration.Value);

    protected async Task DoSearchAsync()
    {
        await _m.PerformSearchAsync();
    }
}

Registered code in ConfigureServices:

services.Configure<Configuration>(options => 
    Configuration.GetSection("ConfigurationSettings").Bind(options));

Configuration.cs

public class Configuration
{
    private string ServiceEndpointUrl { get; set; }
}

I need to pass the Configuration to ViewModel() constructor that takes IOptions<T>, but for some reason I cannot access my injected variable "Configuration" in @code directive. How do I access that please?

You can access your injected Service inside a method like:

@inject Microsoft.Extensions.Options.IOptions<Configuration> cfg

@code {
    private ViewModel _m;

    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        base.OnInitialized();
        _m = new ViewModel(cfg.Value);
    }

    protected async Task DoSearchAsync()
    {
        await _m.PerformSearchAsync();
    }
}
