Injecting Ninject dependencies into WebApiConfig in Web API 2
asp.net-web-api2, ninject
Solution
In the end I didn't have to do this but I have created a blog post on how to do this here
Problem
is it possible to inject dependencies into the WebApiConfig class using Ninject? This is my WebApiConfig class. ``` public static class WebApiConfig { public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config) { // Web API routes config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes(); config.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "DefaultApi", routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}", defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional } ); config.Services.Replace(typeof(IExceptionHandler), new ErrorHandlerMessageHandler(*NEEDS DEPENDENCY*)); } } ``` And this is my NinjectHttpApplication declaration ``` public class WebApiApplication : NinjectHttpApplication { protected override void OnApplicationStarted() { base.OnApplicationStarted(); GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register); } protected override IKernel CreateKernel() { var kernel = new StandardKernel(); RegisterServices(kernel); GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.DependencyResolver = new NinjectDependencyResolver(kernel); return kernel; } private void RegisterServices(IKernel kernel) { //bindings } } ```
