Ninject Intercept any method with certain attribute?

Question

How can I get Ninject.Extensions.Interception to basically let me bind a specific interceptor to any method that has an attribute... psudocode:

Kernel.Interc         


        

Answer 1

Here is the code that I used for the same purpose

//Code in Bind Module
this.Bind(typeof(ServiceBase<,>))
    .ToSelf()
    .InRequestScope()
    .Intercept()
    .With<TransactionInterceptor>();

And

public class TransactionInterceptor : IInterceptor
{
    #region Constants and Fields

    public ISession session;
    private ISessionFactory sessionFactory;

    #endregion

    #region Constructors and Destructors

    public TransactionInterceptor(ISession session, ISessionFactory sessionFactory)
    {
        this.sessionFactory = sessionFactory;
        this.session = session;
    }


    #endregion

    public void Intercept(IInvocation invocation)
    {
        try
        {
            if (!session.IsConnected)
                session = sessionFactory.OpenSession();

            session.BeginTransaction();
            invocation.Proceed();
            if (this.session == null)
            {
                return;
            }

            if (!this.session.Transaction.IsActive)
            {
                return;
            }
            else
            {
                this.session.Transaction.Commit();
            }
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            if (this.session == null)
            {
                return;
            }

            if (!this.session.Transaction.IsActive)
            {
                return;
            }

            this.session.Transaction.Rollback();

            throw;
        }
    }
}

And code for TransactionAttribute

public class TransactionAttribute : InterceptAttribute
{
    #region Public Methods

    public override IInterceptor CreateInterceptor(IProxyRequest request)
    {
        return request.Context.Kernel.Get<TransactionInterceptor>() ;
    }

    #endregion
}

Answer 2

Assuming that you are using Ninject.Extensions.Interception this should do the trick

public class TransactionInterceptor : IInterceptor
{
    public void Intercept(IInvocation invocation)
    {
        // Do something...
    }
}

public class TransactionAttribute : InterceptAttribute
{
    public override IInterceptor CreateInterceptor(IProxyRequest request)
    {
        return new TransactionInterceptor();
    }
}

public class SomeClass
{
    [Transaction]
    public virtual void SomeTransactedMethod() { }
}

Make sure that the method that should be intercepted is marked as virtual.

When SomeTransactedMethod() is called it should be intercepted.

var kernel = new StandardKernel();
kernel.Bind<SomeClass>().ToSelf();

var someClass = kernel.Get<SomeClass>();
someClass.SomeTransactedMethod();

UPDATE

You could create a custom planning strategy.

public class CustomPlanningStrategy<TAttribute, TInterceptor> :
    NinjectComponent, IPlanningStrategy
        where TAttribute : Attribute
        where TInterceptor : IInterceptor
{
    private readonly IAdviceFactory adviceFactory;
    private readonly IAdviceRegistry adviceRegistry;

    public CustomPlanningStrategy(
        IAdviceFactory adviceFactory, IAdviceRegistry adviceRegistry)
        {
            this.adviceFactory = adviceFactory;
            this.adviceRegistry = adviceRegistry;
        }

        public void Execute(IPlan plan)
        {
            var methods = GetCandidateMethods(plan.Type);
            foreach (var method in methods)
            {
                var attributes = method.GetCustomAttributes(
                    typeof(TAttribute), true) as TAttribute[];
                if (attributes.Length == 0)
                {
                    continue;
                }

                var advice = adviceFactory.Create(method);

                advice.Callback = request => request.Kernel.Get<TInterceptor>();
                adviceRegistry.Register(advice);

                if (!plan.Has<ProxyDirective>())
                {
                    plan.Add(new ProxyDirective());
                }
            }
        }
    }

    private static IEnumerable<MethodInfo> GetCandidateMethods(Type type)
    {
        var methods = type.GetMethods(
            BindingFlags.Public | 
            BindingFlags.NonPublic | 
            BindingFlags.Instance
        );

        return methods.Where(ShouldIntercept);
    }

    private static bool ShouldIntercept(MethodInfo methodInfo)
    {
        return methodInfo.DeclaringType != typeof(object) &&
               !methodInfo.IsPrivate &&
               !methodInfo.IsFinal;
    }
}

This should now work.

var kernel = new StandardKernel();
kernel.Components.Add<IPlanningStrategy, 
    CustomPlanningStrategy<TransactionAttribute, TransactionInterceptor>>();

kernel.Bind<SomeClass>().ToSelf();

var someClass = kernel.Get<SomeClass>();
someClass.SomeTransactedMethod();
