Akavache init and registering a constant in Prism for DI

Question

I am using Akavache and would like to register the constant BlobCache.LocalMachine such that when I inject IBlobCache in the constructor of my viewmodels it just picks it up.

I believe the Ninject equivalent is:

Bind<Akavache.IBlobCache>().ToConstant(Akavache.BlobCache.LocalMachine);

What I want to do:

readonly IBlobCache _cache;
// ...
public MainViewModel(INavService navService, IBlobCache cache)
    : base (navService)
{
    _cache = cache;
}

Finally, I am seeing conflicting information on what to do when I 'logout' of my app. Is the correct sequence:

_cache.Shutdown()

or

_cache.InvalidateAll()

Answer 1

You might be looking for RegisterInstance:

containerRegistry.RegisterInstance<Akavache.IBlobCache>( Akavache.BlobCache.LocalMachine );

This will make the container inject LocalMachine (at the time of registration) whenever IBlobCache is needed.
