What is the best practice for using Unity Mvc and Entity Framework?
- What is the best practice to instantiate my DbContext?
I see some people creating an empty interface for the DbContext like this:
public interface IEasyDayContext : IDisposable { }
and then register it in Unity like this (UnityConfig.cs):
container.RegisterType<IEasyDayContext, EasyDayContext>();
I see others using the DbContext as an "interface":
container.RegisterType<DbContext, EasyDayContext>();
I see other people just instantiating the DbContext in the constructor of the service.
I am finding it hard to get updated documentation on Unity Mvc, should I even use it today?
How do I setup Unity Mvc?
Current documentation (from https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Dependency-Injection-in-11d54863) suggests that I should put this line of code in my Global.asax.cs file:
UnityConfig.RegisterComponents();
However, this method doesn't exist anymore. Should I use this instead?
UnityConfig.RegisterTypes(UnityConfig.Container);
- Should I use PerRequestLifetimeManager?
I am using
AspNet.Mvc 5.2.6
Unity.Mvc 5.0.15
Unity.Container 5.8.10
c# asp.net-mvc entity-framework unity-container dbcontext

Look for "Step 4- Register the Dependency in UnityConfig.cs file" in your linked documentation. If you follow it closely, aRegisterComponentsmethod will exist.

Regarding your other question: setting up unity mvc and registering EF contexts within any dependency resolver framework are very different things. That's why I vote to close as to broad.

This isn't about Unity. It's about dependency injection in general. When you register any type of service through an interface it's easy to test your code using a mock service or dummy object that only needs to implement that interface. Of course, that means thatIEasyDayContextshould not be empty.
