dependency injection example

Example 1: dependency injection

Dependency injection is basically providing the objects that an object needs 
(its dependencies) instead of having it construct them itself. 

It's a very useful technique for testing, since it allows dependencies 
to be mocked or stubbed out.

Example 2: dependency injection

Class A   Class B   if A uses some methods of B then its a dependency injection

Example 3: dependency injection

public class CustomerBusinessLogic
{
    ICustomerDataAccess _dataAccess;

    public CustomerBusinessLogic(ICustomerDataAccess custDataAccess)
    {
        _dataAccess = custDataAccess;
    }

    public CustomerBusinessLogic()
    {
        _dataAccess = new CustomerDataAccess();
    }

    public string ProcessCustomerData(int id)
    {
        return _dataAccess.GetCustomerName(id);
    }
}

public interface ICustomerDataAccess
{
    string GetCustomerName(int id);
}

public class CustomerDataAccess: ICustomerDataAccess
{
    public CustomerDataAccess()
    {
    }

    public string GetCustomerName(int id) 
    {
        //get the customer name from the db in real application        
        return "Dummy Customer Name"; 
    }
}

Example 4: dependency injection

public class CustomerService
{
    CustomerBusinessLogic _customerBL;

    public CustomerService()
    {
        _customerBL = new CustomerBusinessLogic(new CustomerDataAccess());
    }

    public string GetCustomerName(int id) {
        return _customerBL.ProcessCustomerData(id);
    }
}
