## Getting the service

### Dependency Injection

If you wish to use the macro service in a class, you need to specify the `IMacroService` interface in your constructor:

```csharp
public class MyClass
{
    private IMacroService _macroService;

    public MyClass(IMacroService macroService)
    {
        _macroService = macroService;
    }
}
```

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

```csharp
@inject IMacroService MacroService
```
