Dependency Injection vs Service Location

Question

I am currently weighing up the advantages and disadvantages between DI and SL. However, I have found myself in the following catch 22 which implies that I should just use SL

Answer 1

We've landed on a compromise: use DI but bundle top-level dependencies into an object avoiding refactoring hell should those dependencies change.

In the example below, we can add to 'ServiceDependencies' without having to refactor all derived dependencies.

Example:

public ServiceDependencies{
     public ILogger Logger{get; private set;}
     public ServiceDependencies(ILogger logger){
          this.Logger = logger;
     }
}

public abstract class BaseService{
     public ILogger Logger{get; private set;}

     public BaseService(ServiceDependencies dependencies){
          this.Logger = dependencies.Logger; //don't expose 'dependencies'
     }
}


public class DerivedService(ServiceDependencies dependencies,
                              ISomeOtherDependencyOnlyUsedByThisService                       additionalDependency) 
 : base(dependencies){
//set local dependencies here.
}
