Constructor dependency code snippet in visual studio
If you have R# you can enter the field declarations and then highlight them and hit Alt-Enter
which will give you the option to generate the constructor and field assignments.
I don't know about previous versions, but in vanilla Visual Studio 2017, you can actually add a constructor parameter
public SomeClass(ISomeService service)
{
}
Then put your cursor on service
and from "Quick actions" you can chose Introduce and initialize field _someService
which will do what you want :
private readonly ISomeService _someService;
public SomeClass(ISomeService service)
{
_someService = service;
}
If you don't have Resharper, you can add the parameter on the constructor, write the assignament to an unexisting property and hit CTRL+. . This will prompt you with the options to automatically create a property or field for you.
For example, you have this class:
public class MyClass
{
public MyClass()
{
}
}
You then add the parameter to the constructor, and the assignament:
public class MyClass
{
public MyClass(IDependency myDependency)
{
this.myDependency = myDependency;
}
}
And hit CTRL+. while on the asignament line, and select create field, and you'll get this:
public class MyClass
{
IDependency myDependency;
public MyClass(IDependency myDependency)
{
this.myDependency = myDependency;
}
}
