Getting the service

Dependency Injection

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

public class MyClass
{
    private IFileService _fileService;

    public MyClass(IFileService fileService)
    {
        _fileService = fileService;
    }
}

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

@inject IFileService FileService
