Custom IOC Container - Need Help on Types 2/3

Question

Background

To improve my understanding of IOC and how to use it, I want to create an example of all three IOC methods: constructor injection, Setter injection and interface injection without using a third-party structure. I think I have a basic example of a constructor injection, but it struggles with installation and interface.

My question

How do you approach the solution to the problem of entering the input and installation interface from scratch?

Here are my thoughts, let me know if I'm on the right track.

Interface Insert:

• Scrolling through allowed objects created using constructor installation, check which interfaces are implemented in interfaceDependencyMap
• Define some interface interfaceDependencyMap to associate the interface with the implementation.
• Solve an implementation using interfaceDependencyMap
• Assign the appropriate property to the object initialized by the constructor installation

Setter Entry:

• Loop through allowed objects created using constructor installation
• Define some kind of setterInjectionMap
• Allow expected parameter from MethodInfo using constructor mappings
• Call the setter method passing in the allowed parameter object

Here is what I have so far used to install the constructor

public class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        //
        //instead of doing this:
        //
        //ICreditCard creditCard = new Visa();
        //var customer = new Customer(creditCard);
        //customer.Charge();


        var resolver = new Resolver();

        //map the types in the container
        resolver.Register<Customer, Customer>();
        resolver.Register<ICreditCard, Visa>();

        //because the customer constructor has an ICreditCard parameter
        //our container will automatically instantiate it recursively
        var customer = resolver.Resolve<Customer>();

        customer.Charge();

    }
}

public interface ICreditCard
{
    string Charge();
}

public class Visa : ICreditCard
{
    public string Charge()
    {
        return "Charging Visa";
    }
}

public class MasterCard : ICreditCard
{
    public string Charge()
    {
        return "Charging MasterCard";
    }
}

public class Customer
{
    private readonly ICreditCard _creditCard;

    public Customer(ICreditCard creditCard)
    {
        this._creditCard = creditCard;
    }

    public void Charge()
    {
        _creditCard.Charge();
    }
}


public class Resolver
{
    private Dictionary<Type, Type> dependencyMap = new Dictionary<Type, Type>();

    public T Resolve<T>()
    {
        return (T) Resolve(typeof (T));
    }

    private object Resolve(Type typeToResolve)
    {
        Type resolvedType = null;

        try
        {
            resolvedType = dependencyMap[typeToResolve];
        }
        catch
        {
            throw new Exception(string.Format("could not resolve type {0}", typeToResolve.FullName));
        }

        var firstConstructor = resolvedType.GetConstructors().First();
        var constructorParameters = firstConstructor.GetParameters();
        if (constructorParameters.Count() == 0)
            return Activator.CreateInstance(resolvedType);

        IList<object> parameters = constructorParameters.Select(parameterToResolve => Resolve(parameterToResolve.ParameterType)).ToList();

        return firstConstructor.Invoke(parameters.ToArray());
    }

    public void Register<TFrom, TTo>()
    {
        dependencyMap.Add(typeof (TFrom), typeof (TTo));
    }
}

Is this what you are looking for?

class Container
{
    class Registration
    {
        public Type RegistrationType;
        public Func<Container, object> Resolver;
    }

    List<Registration> registrations = new List<Registration>();

    public object Resolve(Type type)
    {
        return registrations
            .First(r => type.IsAssignableFrom(r.RegistrationType))
            .Resolver(this);
    }

    public T Resolve<T>()
    {
        return (T)Resolve(typeof(T));
    }

    public void Register<T>(Func<Container, T> registration) where T : class
    {
        registrations.Add(new Registration()
        {
            RegistrationType = typeof(T),
            Resolver = registration
        });
    }
}

Using:

interface IDependency
{
    string GetName();
}

class ConcreteDependency : IDependency
{
    public string GetName()
    {
        return "Concrete Dependency";
    }
}

class ConstructorExample
{
    readonly IDependency dependency;

    public ConstructorExample(IDependency dependency)
    {
        this.dependency = dependency;
    }

    public string GetString()
    {
        return "Consumer of " + dependency.GetName();
    }
}

class SetterExample
{
    public IDependency Dependency { get; set; }

    public string GetString()
    {
        return "Consumer of " + Dependency.GetName();
    }
}

[TestMethod]
public void MyTestMethod()
{
    var container = new Container();
    container.Register<IDependency>(c => new ConcreteDependency());
    container.Register(c => new ConstructorExample(c.Resolve<IDependency>()));
    container.Register(c => new SetterExample() { Dependency = c.Resolve<IDependency>() });

    var constructor = container.Resolve<ConstructorExample>();
    Assert.AreEqual("Consumer of Concrete Dependency", constructor.GetString());

    var setter = container.Resolve<SetterExample>();
    Assert.AreEqual("Consumer of Concrete Dependency", setter.GetString());
}
