Is it bad practice or code smell to use an IoC container when installing dependencies?
This is my root composition:
public void Install(IWindsorContainer container, IConfigurationStore store)
{
Assembly modelAssembly = typeof(UserLoginModel).Assembly;
Assembly controllerAssembly = typeof(HomeController).Assembly;
container.Install(
new MvcInfrastructureInstaller(modelAssembly, viewAssembly, controllerAssembly, applicationTitle, resourceAssemblyLocations),
new MiniMembershipInstaller(),
new ServiceInstaller(),
new RepositoryInstaller(),
new LibraryInstaller(),
new AutoMapperProfileInstaller()
);
}
My AutoMapperProfileInstallerneed to allow a profile containing dependencies to initialize mapper
public class AutoMapperProfileInstaller : IWindsorInstaller
{
public void Install(IWindsorContainer container, IConfigurationStore store)
{
Profile entityToViewModel = container.Resolve<EntityToViewModelProfile>();
Profile[] profiles = new[] { entityToViewModel };
Mapper.Initialize(config =>
{
config.ConstructServicesUsing(container.Resolve);
foreach (Profile profile in profiles)
{
config.AddProfile(profile);
}
});
}
}
This is wrong at many levels, what would be the best way to initialize profiles AutoMapper?
