Dependency injection through method with Resharper or DevExpress

Question

I want to inject a dependency in one of my class and I don't know if there is a refactor in tools like Resharper or DevExpress to do that.

Here is my class:

   public class ClassWithInjections
   {
      private Dependency _fieldInjected;
   }

   public class Dependency
   {

   }

And the final result I want it to look like: (Note that the field can now be initialized by the method Initialize)

   public class ClassWithInjections
   {
      private Dependency _fieldInjected;

      public void Initialize(Dependency fieldInjected)
      {
         _fieldInjected = fieldInjected;
      }
   }

I want to be able to just activate a refactor option while specifying my field with the mouse cursor and then the tool that could suggest me if I want to inject the dependency with method, property or constructor.

With Resharper, you can do that with 'Encapsulate field' (Ctrl+Shift+R) or creating a constructor with the code generation tool (Alt-Insert) but I don't found any option to inject my dependency with the 'method' technique.

Anybody have the solution?

Answer 1

You can use the DevExpress Refactor! Pro > Create Setter Method refactoring option for this purpose.

Answer 2

First of all. You should not inject dependencies using methods. Read here. I would only use property injection to solve the circular dependencies problem.

That leaves constructor injection.

Resharper can help you. Press ALT+ENTER on the field and choose "Initialize in constructor"

I don't found any option to inject my dependency with the 'method' technique.

Well. It doesn't exist since you should avoid that ;)
