1.4.15 January 19 2021
Maintenance Release for Akka.NET 1.4
Akka.NET v1.4.15 introduces a new module, Akka.DependencyInjection, which will replace Akka.DI.Core and all of the libraries which depend on it. This seemed like the easiest way to preserve backwards compatibility - simple deprecate the old package and replace it with a new one.
So what does Akka.DependencyInjection do differently than Akka.DI.Core?
- Allows users to pass in an
IServiceProviderinto theActorSystembefore the latter is created, via a new kind of programmatic configurationSetupthat was introduced in Akka.NET v1.4. This ensures that theIServiceProvideris immutable within anActorSystem, a problem that we have currently with Akka.DI.Core. - Makes it easy to access the
IServiceProvidervia theAkka.DependencyInjection.ServiceProvider.For(ActorSystem)method, which is what we can use to get access to the service provider in order to consume required services inside our actors. - Makes it possible to dependency inject some parameters will dynamically specifying some others, something that users have been asking for since 2015.
To see a full example of how to use Akka.DependencyInjection in concert with Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection, please see https://getakka.net/articles/actors/dependency-injection.html
