Asp.Net Core: Use memory cache outside controller

Question

In ASP.NET Core its very easy to access your memory cache from a controller

In your startup you add:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection         


        

Answer 1

Memory cache instance may be injected to the any component that is controlled by DI container; this means that you need configure ScheduledStuff instance in the ConfigureServices method:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) {
  services.AddMemoryCache();
  services.AddSingleton();
}

and declare IMemoryCache as dependency in ScheduledStuff constructor:

public class ScheduledStuff {
  IMemoryCache MemCache;
  public ScheduledStuff(IMemoryCache memCache) {
    MemCache = memCache;
  }
}
