SmallEarthTech.AntPlus.Extensions.Hosting 1.0.0

Small Earth Technology ANT+ Hosting Extensions

If you use dependency injection to compose your apps, check this extension out! With a few lines added to the DI container/host builder, the complete library is ready to be used by the app. Here's a snippet from the WPF sample -

    // dependency services
    _host = Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()).
        UseSerilog().
        UseAntPlus().   // this adds all the required dependencies to use the ANT+ class library
        ConfigureServices(services =>
        {
            // add the implementation of IAntRadio to the host
            services.AddSingleton<IAntRadio, AntRadio>();
        }).
        Build();
        .
        .
        .
    // create the device collection - this starts scanning for devices
    AntDevices = _host.Services.GetRequiredService<AntCollection>();

MAUI apps can also invoke UseAntPlus() to add the dependencies to MauiApp.CreateBuilder().

An ==important== benefit of using dependency injection is that you can now add ANT devices not supported by the current ANT+ Class Library. A detailed guide on how to do this is available in the documentation. You can also set the global ANT device timeout from a variety of sources such as the command line, appsettings.json, etc. and let the DI container inject them into the ANT+ Class Library.
