MediatR with ASP.NET Core DI

Question

I'm playing around with the new ASP.NET Core and are currently creating a API that I want to call from a JavaScript frontend.

I want to use the mediator pattern to reduce the coupling, and I have found the Library MediatR from Jimmy Bogard.

My problem consist in wiring it up using the build in DI, I have tried looking at the examples, but can't see to crack how it binds into the ConfigureServices method in the startup class.

Do anybody have any insight?

UPDATE: I got it working, from my ConfigureService method:

services.AddScoped<SingleInstanceFactory>(p => t => p.GetRequiredService(t));



services.Scan(scan => scan

        .FromAssembliesOf(typeof(IMediator), typeof(MyHandler.Handler))

        .AddClasses()

        .AsImplementedInterfaces());

I got it working, my code:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
      services.AddScoped<SingleInstanceFactory>(p => t => p.GetRequiredService(t));
      services.AddScoped<MultiInstanceFactory>(p => t => p.GetRequiredServices(t));
      services.Scan(scan => scan
              .FromAssembliesOf(typeof(IMediator), typeof(MyHandlerOne.Handler))
              .FromAssembliesOf(typeof(IMediator), typeof(MyHandlerTwo.Handler))
             .AddClasses()
             .AsImplementedInterfaces());
}

and I have a class that implements the GetRequiredService that MultiInstanceFactory need:

public static class GetServices
{
    public static IEnumerable<object> GetRequiredServices(this IServiceProvider provider, Type serviceType)
    {
        return (IEnumerable<object>)provider.GetRequiredService(typeof(IEnumerable<>).MakeGenericType(serviceType));
    }
}
