Getting the service

Dependency Injection

If you wish to use the entity service in a class, you need to specify the IEntityService interface in your constructor:

public class MyClass
{
 private IEntityService _entityService;

 public MyClass(IEntityService entityService)
 {
  _entityService = entityService;
 }
}

In Razor views, you can access the entity service through the @inject directive:

@inject IEntityService EntityService
