Getting the service
Dependency Injection
If you wish to use the content type service in a class, you need to specify the IContentTypeService interface in your constructor:
public class MyClass
{
    private IContentTypeService _contentTypeService;
    
    public MyClass(IContentTypeService contentTypeService)
    {
        _contentTypeService = contentTypeService;
    }
}
In Razor views, you can access the content type service through the @inject directive:
@inject IContentTypeService ContentTypeService
