In Spring4D how to register multiple auto factories for same interface


I want to provide the constructor arguments to the following class via the container but am unable to find a way of registering the multiple auto factories.

TItemFactory = class(TInterfacedObject, IItemFactory)
private
  fFactories: TArray<Func<IHost,IItem>>;
protected
  function CreateInstance(Host: IHost): TArray<IItem>;
public
  constructor Create(Factories: TArray<Func<IHost,IItem>>);
end;

If I wanted to have multiple types of items I could register them as

GlobalContainer.RegisterType<IItem,TItem1>('Item1');
GlobalContainer.RegisterType<IItem,TItem2>('Item2');

If I only had one type of item I could easily

GlobalContainer.RegisterType<IItem,TItem1>;
GlobalContainer.RegisterFactory<Func<IHost,IItem>>;

But I can see there is no point in naming multiple auto factories as they only reference IItem and not TItem1 or TItem2.


Solution

  • Simple, look at the parameters of RegisterFactory, there are two overloads where you can specify the resolvedServiceName.

    GlobalContainer.RegisterFactory<Func<IHost, IItem>>('ItemFactory1', 'Item1');
    GlobalContainer.RegisterFactory<Func<IHost, IItem>>('ItemFactory2', 'Item2');
