Service

Creating your first service​

The previous code works well enough but we don't want to end up with all our logic inside of controllers. We should rather build shared re-usable services

Let's move the logic out of the controller

Right click on the project and select Add -> New Folder Create a folder named Services

Right click on the project and select Add -> New Item and Select an empty class. Name it Clock.cs Move this class into Services and update its namespace

You should have something like this

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace Stackworx.Workshop.Services
{
    public class Clock
    {
    }
}

Let's create a new method matching the logic from our controller

Once that is done add a constructor to the Controller so that we can create an instance of our Clock service

private readonly Clock clock;

public ClockController()
{
    this.clock = new Clock();
}

Update your controller to use this method instead
