Hexed

Become victim of your own insanity.

Hexed simply wires your dependencies together. Ward off the chaos that must come.

Getting started

Install the package:

dotnet add package Hexed

Define modules and their dependencies:

public sealed class MyModule : Use<MyDependency>;
public sealed class MyDependency : Module;

Load your module — dependencies are resolved and loaded automatically:

var modules = new Modules();
modules.Load<MyModule>();

Module dependencies

Each module defines its own dependencies. There are three ways of doing this.

Use<TModule>

Implement Use<TModule> if your module depends on the components configured by TModule, and needs no further configuration.

public sealed class SomeModule : Use<SomeOtherModule>;

Glob<TModule>

Implement Glob<TModule> if your module optionally depends on TModule, and you want to control whether it is loaded at runtime using the HEXED environment variable.

public sealed class SomeModule : Glob<SomeOtherModule>;

The HEXED environment variable accepts a semicolon-separated list of glob patterns matched against the full type name of each Glob<TModule> dependency:

export HEXED=Example.*;AnotherExample.*

Patterns prepended with ! act as exclusion rules — if any exclusion pattern matches, the module is not loaded regardless of inclusion matches.

export HEXED=Example.*;!Example.SomeModule

If HEXED is not set, all Glob<T> dependencies are loaded as normal.

Configure<TComponent>

Implement Configure<TComponent> if your module needs to configure TComponent directly.

If TComponent is a module, it is loaded first — similar to Use<TModule> — and then Configure is called with it passed in.

If TComponent is not a module, it is provided by the context you run your application in. For example, the Hexed.AspNetCore context provides IServiceCollection and WebApplicationBuilder. If no context provides the component, the Configure method is simply not called — which allows a single module to support multiple contexts.

public sealed class SomeModule :
    Configure<SomeOtherModule>,
    Configure<IServiceCollection>
{
    public void Configure(SomeOtherModule module)
    {
        module.WithSomething();
    }

    public void Configure(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.AddSingleton<MyService>();
    }
}

Native AOT

By default, Hexed uses a reflection-based descriptor to resolve module dependencies. The Hexed package ships with a source generator (Hexed.Analyzer) that generates a reflection-free descriptor at compile time and registers it automatically. Your entry point stays unchanged.

Contexts

Depending on the framework you're running in, different components are available to Configure<TComponent>.

AspNetCore

Install the Hexed.AspNetCore package to use the ASP.NET Core context:

dotnet add package Hexed.AspNetCore

Use the Build() or RunAsync() method from this namespace on your module:

using Hexed.AspNetCore;

return await new MyModule().RunAsync();
Configurable components

The following components are supported (including their subclasses or interfaces):

  • Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder.WebApplicationBuilder
  • Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder.WebApplication
  • Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.IConfiguration
  • Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.IServiceCollection
  • System.IServiceProvider
