Implement dependency injection outside of Startup.cs

.net-core, asp.net-core, c#, dependency-injection

Solution

you can write extension methods of IServiceCollection to encapsulate a lot of service registrations into 1 line of code in Startup.cs

for example here is one from my project:

using cloudscribe.Core.Models;
using cloudscribe.Core.Models.Setup;
using cloudscribe.Core.Web;
using cloudscribe.Core.Web.Components;
using cloudscribe.Core.Web.Components.Editor;
using cloudscribe.Core.Web.Components.Messaging;
using cloudscribe.Core.Web.Navigation;
using cloudscribe.Web.Common.Razor;
using cloudscribe.Web.Navigation;
using cloudscribe.Web.Navigation.Caching;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Extensions;
using Microsoft.Extensions.FileProviders;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Options;
using System.Reflection;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization;

namespace Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection
{
    public static class StartupExtensions
    {
        public static IServiceCollection AddCloudscribeCore(this IServiceCollection services, IConfigurationRoot configuration)
        {
            services.TryAddSingleton<IHttpContextAccessor, HttpContextAccessor>();
            services.Configure<MultiTenantOptions>(configuration.GetSection("MultiTenantOptions"));
            services.Configure<SiteConfigOptions>(configuration.GetSection("SiteConfigOptions"));
            services.Configure<UIOptions>(configuration.GetSection("UIOptions"));
            services.Configure<CkeditorOptions>(configuration.GetSection("CkeditorOptions"));
            services.Configure<CachingSiteResolverOptions>(configuration.GetSection("CachingSiteResolverOptions"));
            services.AddMultitenancy<SiteContext, CachingSiteResolver>();
            services.AddScoped<CacheHelper, CacheHelper>();
            services.AddScoped<SiteManager, SiteManager>();
            services.AddScoped<GeoDataManager, GeoDataManager>();
            services.AddScoped<SystemInfoManager, SystemInfoManager>();
            services.AddScoped<IpAddressTracker, IpAddressTracker>();
            services.AddScoped<SiteDataProtector>();
            services.AddCloudscribeCommmon();
            services.AddScoped<ITimeZoneIdResolver, RequestTimeZoneIdResolver>();
            services.AddCloudscribePagination();
            services.AddScoped<IVersionProviderFactory, VersionProviderFactory>();
            services.AddScoped<IVersionProvider, CloudscribeCoreVersionProvider>();
            services.AddTransient<ISiteMessageEmailSender, SiteEmailMessageSender>();
            services.AddTransient<ISmsSender, SiteSmsSender>();
            services.AddSingleton<IThemeListBuilder, SiteThemeListBuilder>();
            services.TryAddScoped<ViewRenderer, ViewRenderer>();
            services.AddSingleton<IOptions<NavigationOptions>, SiteNavigationOptionsResolver>();
            services.AddScoped<ITreeCacheKeyResolver, SiteNavigationCacheKeyResolver>();
            services.AddScoped<INodeUrlPrefixProvider, FolderTenantNodeUrlPrefixProvider>();
            services.AddCloudscribeNavigation(configuration);

            services.AddCloudscribeIdentity();

            return services;
        }


    }
}

and in Startup.cs I call that method with one line of code

services.AddCloudscribeCore(Configuration);

Problem

I want to implement dependency injection in ASP.NET CORE 1. I know everything is about DI in .Net Core. For example ``` public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { // Add application services. services.AddTransient<IDateTime, SystemDateTime>(); } ``` But for Big projects which has more than 20 entities and Services, it is so difficult and unreadable writing all of these code lines inside ConfigureServices. I want to know Is this possible implement dependency injection outside of Startup.cs and then add it to services. Thanks for answers.
