Autofac is an IoC container for Microsoft .NET. It manages the dependencies between classes so that applications stay easy to change as they grow in size and complexity. This is achieved by treating regular .NET classes as components.
Get Packages
You can get Autofac by grabbing the latest NuGet package. There are several application integration and extended functionality packages to choose from. If you're feeling adventurous, continuous integration builds are on MyGet.
Release notes are available on GitHub.
Get Help
Need help with Autofac? We have a documentation site as well as API documentation. We're ready to answer your questions on Stack Overflow or check out the discussion forum.
Get Started
Our Getting Started tutorial walks you through integrating Autofac with a simple application and gives you some starting points for learning more.
Super-duper quick start:
Register components with a ContainerBuilder
and then build the component container.
var builder = new ContainerBuilder();
builder.Register(c => new TaskController(c.Resolve<ITaskRepository>()));
builder.RegisterType<TaskController>();
builder.RegisterInstance(new TaskController());
builder.RegisterAssemblyTypes(controllerAssembly);
var container = builder.Build();
Resolve services from a lifetime scope - either the container or a nested scope:
var taskController = container.Resolve<TaskController>();
There is a growing number of application integration libraries that make using Autofac with your application a snap. Support for several popular frameworks is also available through the "Extras" packages.
