Using Dependency Injection

The Design Atoms Framework allows you to work with its components through Dependency Injection (DI). You can use a static class Injector to instantiate services and pass all necessary dependencies to it. The Injector.Instance property returns an object containing the Resolve<TDependency> method, which in turn instantiates the service registered in the Design Atoms Framework. You can set up DI in your application as follows:

using Aurigma.DesignAtoms.Configuration;
Injector.CurrentFactory = () => DefaultInjectorFactory.Create();

Then, for example, to parse PSD templates and convert them to products, you can create and use an instance of the ITemplateParser interface as follows:

using Aurigma.DesignAtoms.Convert;
var parser = Injector.Instance.Resolve<ITemplateParser>();
var product = parser.FromFile("nameplate.psd");

In this way, you can use such components as:

IStateFileSerializer to store product states
IProductRenderer to render products
IFileCache to get rendered outputs
IImageLoader to load images
IConfiguration to configure the viewer

The Sample

This sample illustrates how you can instantiate the IStateFileSerializer and IProductRenderer interfaces to work with state files and to render products.

Program.cs

using System.IO;
using Aurigma.DesignAtoms.Configuration;
using Aurigma.DesignAtoms.Configuration.RenderingConfig;
using Aurigma.DesignAtoms.Model;
using Aurigma.DesignAtoms.Rendering;
using Aurigma.DesignAtoms.Serialization;
using Aurigma.DesignAtoms.Services.Logger;
using Autofac;
using Newtonsoft.Json;

namespace DesignAtomsConsole
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Setting up the dependency injection.
            Injector.CurrentFactory = () => DefaultInjectorFactory.Create();
            // Setting up the serialization.
            JsonConvert.DefaultSettings = () => DefaultJsonSettings.Get(Injector.Instance.Resolve<IConfiguration>());

            CreateState(@"C:\CustomersCanvas\states\one-page.st");
            RenderState(@"C:\CustomersCanvas\states\one-page.st", @"C:\CustomersCanvas\previews\one-page.jpg");
        }

        static void CreateState(string newStateFile)
        {
            // Create a product.
            var product = new Product();
            var surface = new Surface(330, 600);
            product.Surfaces.Add(surface);

            // Instantiate IStateFileSerializer.
            var stateFileSerializer = Injector.Instance.Resolve<IStateFileSerializer>();
            var state = new Aurigma.DesignAtoms.Model.State(product);
            using (var stateStream = File.OpenWrite(newStateFile))
            {
                // Save the product to a state file.
                stateFileSerializer.Serialize(state, stateStream);
            }
        }

        static void RenderState(string stateFileName, string resultFileName)
        {
            using (var fstream = File.OpenRead(stateFileName))
            {
                // Instantiate IStateFileSerializer.
                var stateFileSerializer = Injector.Instance.Resolve<IStateFileSerializer>();
                // Load a product from a state file. 
                var state = stateFileSerializer.Deserialize(fstream);
                var product = state.Product;

                // Instantiate IProductRenderer.
                var productRenderer = Injector.Instance.Resolve<IProductRenderer>();
                using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
                {
                    // Render the product to a stream.
                    productRenderer.RenderProof(memoryStream, product.Surfaces[0], RenderingConfig.GetDefault());
                    // Write the resulting memory stream to a file.
                    memoryStream.Position = 0;
                    using (FileStream outputStream = File.OpenWrite(resultFileName))
                    {
                        outputStream.Write(memoryStream.GetBuffer(), 0, (int)memoryStream.Length);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
