issue with IHttpFactory DI in constructor

[jthegeman]

I am trying to follow the directions of Using HttpClientFactory

I have services.AddRefitClient<IWebApi>(settings) .ConfigureHttpClient(c => c.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://api.myapi.com")); in my startup class.

and my service class

public class ApiService 
{
    public ApiService(IWebApi webApi)
    {
        _webApi = webApi;
    }

    private readonly IWebApi _webApi;

    public async Task<IActionResult> Index(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        var thing = await _webApi.GetSomethingWeNeed(cancellationToken);
        return View(thing);
    }
}

I get an error when I try to create an instance of the ApiService in a View saying that there is not a constructor with 0 parameters.

What am I missing on the DI or Refit side?
