How to register services in ConfigureServices

Short answer: public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { services.AddTransient<IMyService, MyService>(); services.AddScoped<IRepository, Repository>(); services.AddSingleton<ILoggerService, LoggerService>(); }

Example code

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{ services.AddTransient<IMyService, MyService>(); services.AddScoped<IRepository, Repository>(); services.AddSingleton<ILoggerService, LoggerService>(); }

Real-world example (ShopNest)

A ShopNest checkout request flows through middleware, hits a minimal API or controller, uses scoped services, and returns ProblemDetails on errors.

Say this in the interview

1. Define — one clear sentence (the short answer above).
2. Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
3. Trade-off — when you would not use it.
