Nancy bootstrapper for the StructureMap container

A bootstrapper implementation, for the Nancy framework, based on the StructureMap inversion of control container.

Usage

When Nancy detects that the StructureMapNancyBootstrapper type is available in the AppDomain of your application, it will assume you want to use it, rather than the default one.

The easiest way to get the latest version of StructureMapNancyBootstrapper into your application is to install the Nancy.Bootstrappers.StructureMap nuget.

Customizing

By inheriting from StructureMapNancyBootstrapper you will gain access to the IContainer of the application and request containers and can perform what ever reqistations that your application requires.

public class Bootstrapper : StructureMapNancyBootstrapper
{
    protected override void ApplicationStartup(IContainer container, IPipelines pipelines)
    {
        // No registrations should be performed in here, however you may
        // resolve things that are needed during application startup.
    }

    protected override void ConfigureApplicationContainer(IContainer existingContainer)
    {
        // Perform registation that should have an application lifetime
    }

    protected override void ConfigureRequestContainer(IContainer container, NancyContext context)
    {
        // Perform registrations that should have a request lifetime
    }

    protected override void RequestStartup(IContainer container, IPipelines pipelines, NancyContext context)
    {
        // No registrations should be performed in here, however you may
        // resolve things that are needed during request startup.
    }
}

You can also override the GetApplicationContainer method and return a pre-existing container instance, instead of having Nancy create one for you. This is useful if Nancy is co-existing with another application and you want them to share a single container.

protected override IContainer GetApplicationContainer()
{
    // Return application container instance
}
