❔ Creating a base abstract class to ensure a set of derived classes receive similar dependencies?
Hi, working on creating a class library and I have a set of classes, let's call them PlainPizza, PepperoniPizza and SausagePizza. These three need to have injected into them a set of similar dependencies by the DI container however beyond that they share no common methods.
Would it be advisable to have them inherit from a base abstract class that injects those dependencies while each derived class has its own interface that it implements such that unit testing is made easier?

Ah I see -- why not? What alternatives should I consider?
Using inheritance for code reuse is an anti pattern
None (regarding alternatives). Just let them be separate in terms of inheritance
Gotcha, will give that a shot then. Btw any suggested reading material for the inheritance anti pattern? Def want to read up on it
Thank you btw!
Basically any inheritance Vs composition blog
Ahhh ok
