# SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc dependencies

`SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc` declares no `<ProjectReference>` elements — every internal SAIF dependency is consumed as a NuGet `PackageReference`, alongside external ASP.NET MVC/Web API and third-party packages; the nuspec manifest also diverges from the csproj's declared dependency set (`src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.csproj`, `src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.nuspec`).

## Internal dependencies

| Dependency | Reference Type | Usage |
| --- | --- | --- |
| SAIF.Framework.Core (2.0.25119.2) | NuGet Package | Supplies `SAIF.Core.Contracts.*` (`IWebContextService`, `IWebContext`, `IMenuService`, `BusinessOnlineMenu`), `SAIF.Core.Services.*` (`IEnvironmentService`, `ILogService`, `IMessageContainer`, `IUserProfileService`, `IApplicationUserProfile`), `SAIF.Common.Extensions`, and `SAIF.Services.*` (WCF client proxy base, environment service, DB connection manager) consumed throughout controllers, filters, and web context services (`src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.csproj`) |
| SAIF.Framework.Data.NHibernate (2.0.22130.1) | NuGet Package | Supplies `IRepository<T>`, `IUnitOfWorkFactory`, `NHibernateUnitOfWork`, `Repository<T>`, `OracleUnitOfWorkFactory`, `OracleConfigurationFactory`, `SqlServerUnitOfWorkFactory`, `SqlServerConfigurationFactory`, and `SAIF.Data.Model.Menu.BusinessOnlineMenuItem`, used by `AutofacExtensions.cs` (unit-of-work/repository registration) and `MenuService.cs` (menu query) (`src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.csproj`)* |
| SAIF.HashUtil (2.0.22083.2) | NuGet Package | No symbol reference found in library source — declared as a transitive/runtime dependency pin only (`src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.csproj`)* |
| SAIF.Web.API.Clients (2.0.22307.1) | NuGet Package | No symbol reference found in library source — declared as a transitive/runtime dependency pin only (`src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.csproj`)* |

## External dependencies

| Dependency | Version | Usage |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Autofac.Mvc5 | 3.3.4 | `RegisterControllers`, `RegisterFilterProvider`, `RegisterModelBinders`, `InstancePerRequest` (`src/Web.Mvc/Extensions/AutofacExtensions.cs`) (`src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.csproj`) |
| Autofac.WebApi2 | 3.4.0 | `RegisterApiControllers`, `RegisterWebApiFilterProvider` (`src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.csproj`) |
| Grpc.Core | 2.44.0 | Declared with `<ExcludeAssets>runtime;native;contentfiles;analyzers;buildtransitive</ExcludeAssets>`; no `Grpc` symbol appears in library source — transitive/runtime pin only (`src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.csproj`)* |
| Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc | 5.2.3 | `System.Web.Mvc` types used pervasively (`src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.csproj`) |
| Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization | 1.1.3 | `StyleBundle`, `BundleCollection` (`src/Web.Mvc/Extensions/BundleTableExtensions.cs`) (`src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.csproj`) |
| Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.WebHost | 5.2.3 | `GlobalConfiguration.Configuration` (`src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.csproj`) |
| Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages | 3.2.6 | Razor/WebPages host support (`src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.csproj`) |
| WebGrease | 1.6.0 | `WebGrease.Css.Extensions` imported in `src/Web.Mvc/Extensions/ModelStateExtensions.cs` for `ForEach` (`src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.csproj`) |
| System.Web.Extensions | (assembly reference, no NuGet version) | Supplies `System.Web.Script.Serialization.ScriptIgnore` used in `src/Web.Mvc/ViewModels/Bases/MenuViewModelBase.cs` (`src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.csproj`) |
| Newtonsoft.Json | 8.0.0.0 (binding redirect) | `[JsonIgnore]` in `src/Web.Mvc/ViewModels/Bases/MenuViewModelBase.cs`; referenced but not declared as a `PackageReference` — resolved transitively (`src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.csproj`)* |

## Dependency risks and notes
- The nuspec (`src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.nuspec`) declares a dependency on `SAIF.Framework.Common [2,3)`, which is not a `PackageReference` in `src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.csproj`, and omits the `Grpc.Core`, `SAIF.HashUtil`, and `SAIF.Web.API.Clients` package references that the project file declares — the declared package dependency graph does not match the compile-time dependency graph (`src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.nuspec`, `src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.csproj`)*.
- `Grpc.Core`, `SAIF.HashUtil`, and `SAIF.Web.API.Clients` are declared as `PackageReference` entries but no symbol from any of them is referenced in any source file in this library; the reason for their inclusion is unknown (`src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.csproj`).
- The package-to-namespace attribution for `Enforce`, `SAIF.Common.Extensions`, `SAIF.Common.IValidationResult`, and `SAIF.Services.WCF.*` proxy base types is inferred from namespace prefixes; the Legends CLI dependency index was not queried for these specific types during Stage 1 (`src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.csproj`)*.
- `SAIF.Framework.Data.NHibernate` did not appear in the current Legends CLI library index (`legends list libraries`) at documentation time, so its `NuGet Package` classification above reflects the csproj `PackageReference` declaration rather than a confirmed CLI index entry; treat exact transitive contents of this package as unverified*.
- The library ships as C# source files (the nuspec's `<file>` element maps `src="**\*.cs"` to `target="src"`) rather than a compiled assembly, so consuming applications compile against these dependencies directly rather than through a prebuilt binary (`src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.nuspec`).
- `SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc` declares no `<ProjectReference>` elements; all internal SAIF dependencies are consumed as NuGet packages (`src/SAIF.Framework.Web.Mvc.csproj`).
