How to use DI in ICompileModule

[wwwlicious]

Looking for guidance in using IServiceProvider within the context of an ICompileModule.

I am creating a new appbuilder, passing in the existing IServiceProvider passed from the host app but was wondering if this is considered improper use. Example code can be found at the links

Why are you trying to extend what seems like the application via an ICompileModule?

It was a suggestion by yourself here to follow the pattern of razorprecompiler. I may have misunderstood..?

[davidfowl]

Ah is this the T4MVC replacement?

[wwwlicious]

yes, so was just looking at the razorprecompiler and it makes a bit more sense now I'm a bit more familiar with a few bits.

So should I be creating a service collection just for the compiler module to use, that seems to be what razorprecompiler is doing?

[davidfowl]

Yes but currently, things generated by ICompileModules don't show up for intellisense in visual studio or omnisharp right now.

ok, I am writing the r4mvc gen'd file out to disk which avoids that issue as it gets picked up by the compiler second time around, again probably a horrible thing to do but I just don't know any better at the moment :)
