How to do DI in asp.net core middleware?

I am trying to inject dependency into my middleware constructor as follows

public class CreateCompanyMiddleware
{
private readonly RequestDelegate _next;
private readonly UserManager<ApplicationUser> _userManager;


public CreateCompanyMiddleware(RequestDelegate next
, UserManager<ApplicationUser> userManager
)
{
_next = next;
}


public async Task Invoke(HttpContext context)
{
await _next.Invoke(context);
}
}

My Startup.cs file looks like

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
options.UseMySql(Configuration.GetConnectionString("IdentityConnection")));


services.AddIdentity<ApplicationUser, IdentityRole>()
.AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationDbContext>()
.AddDefaultTokenProviders();
...


app.UseMiddleware<CreateCompanyMiddleware>();


...

But I am getting this error

An error occurred while starting the application. InvalidOperationException: Cannot resolve scoped service 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.UserManager`1[Common.Models.ApplicationUser]' from root provider. Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.ServiceLookup.CallSiteValidator.ValidateResolution(Type serviceType, IServiceScope scope, IServiceScope rootScope)

UserManager<ApplicationUser> is (by default) registered as a scoped dependency, whereas your CreateCompanyMiddleware middleware is constructed at app startup (effectively making it a singleton). This is a fairly standard error saying that you can't take a scoped dependency into a singleton class.

The fix is simple in this case - you can inject the UserManager<ApplicationUser> into your Invoke method:

public async Task Invoke(HttpContext context, UserManager<ApplicationUser> userManager)
{
await _next.Invoke(context);
}

This is documented in ASP.NET Core Middleware: Per-request middleware dependencies:

Because middleware is constructed at app startup, not per-request, scoped lifetime services used by middleware constructors aren't shared with other dependency-injected types during each request. If you must share a scoped service between your middleware and other types, add these services to the Invoke method's signature. The Invoke method can accept additional parameters that are populated by DI:

Another way to do that is to create a middleware by IMiddleware interface and register it as a service

For example , the middleware

public class CreateCompanyMiddlewareByInterface : IMiddleware
{
private readonly UserManager<ApplicationUser> _userManager;


public CreateCompanyMiddlewareByInterface(UserManager<ApplicationUser> userManager )
{
this._userManager = userManager;
}




public Task InvokeAsync(HttpContext context, RequestDelegate next)
{
return next(context);
}
}

and service registeration :

services.AddScoped<CreateCompanyMiddlewareByInterface>();
  1. So why it happens ?

The middlewares using IMiddleware are built by UseMiddlewareInterface(appBuilder, middlewareType type) :

private static IApplicationBuilder UseMiddlewareInterface(IApplicationBuilder app, Type middlewareType)
{
return app.Use(next =>
{
return async context =>
{
var middlewareFactory = (IMiddlewareFactory)context.RequestServices.GetService(typeof(IMiddlewareFactory));
if (middlewareFactory == null) { /* throw ... */ }


var middleware = middlewareFactory.Create(middlewareType);
if (middleware == null) { /* throw ... */ }


try{
await middleware.InvokeAsync(context, next);
}
finally{
middlewareFactory.Release(middleware);
}
};
});
}

here the codes inside the context=>{} are executed per-request . So every time there's an incoming request , the var middleware = middlewareFactory.Create(middlewareType); will be executed and then ask for a middleware of middlewareType ( which is already registered as a service ) from the ServiceProvider .

As for by-convention middlewares , there's no factory creating them .

Those instances are all created by ActivatorUtilities.CreateInstance() at startup time . And any Invoke method of by-convention middlewares , such as

Task Invoke(HttpContext context,UserManager<ApplicationUser> userManage, ILoggerFactory loggeryFactory , ... )

will be compiled into a function like below :

Task Invoke(Middleware instance, HttpContext httpContext, IServiceprovider provider)
{
var useManager  /* = get service from service provider */ ;
var log = /* = get service from service provider */ ;
// ...
return instance.Invoke(httpContext,userManager,log, ...);
}

As you see , here the instance is created at startup time , and those services of Invoke method are requested per request .
