## Methods

[ConfigureServiceCollection(IServiceCollection)](Phoenix.ComponentClient.ClientFactory.ConfigureServiceCollection.md#Phoenix_ComponentClient_ClientFactory_ConfigureServiceCollection_Microsoft_Extensions_DependencyInjection_IServiceCollection_)

[ConfigureServiceCollection<HarnessRunnerClientType, HarnessRunnerClientImpl>(IServiceCollection)](Phoenix.ComponentClient.ClientFactory.ConfigureServiceCollection.md#Phoenix_ComponentClient_ClientFactory_ConfigureServiceCollection__2_Microsoft_Extensions_DependencyInjection_IServiceCollection_)

[ConfigureWithDefaultRepositories(IServiceCollection, Assembly, params string\[\])](Phoenix.ComponentClient.ClientFactory.ConfigureWithDefaultRepositories.md#Phoenix_ComponentClient_ClientFactory_ConfigureWithDefaultRepositories_Microsoft_Extensions_DependencyInjection_IServiceCollection_System_Reflection_Assembly_System_String___)

[ConfigureWithDefaultRepositories<HarnessRunnerClientType, HarnessRunnerClientImpl>(IServiceCollection, Assembly, params string\[\])](Phoenix.ComponentClient.ClientFactory.ConfigureWithDefaultRepositories.md#Phoenix_ComponentClient_ClientFactory_ConfigureWithDefaultRepositories__2_Microsoft_Extensions_DependencyInjection_IServiceCollection_System_Reflection_Assembly_System_String___)

Configure Microsoft's Dependency Injection with the appropriate providers to instantiate IHarnessRunnerClient instances and backs it with the default repositories as defined in `Phoenix.PlugIns.PlugInManagerFactory.ConfigureWithDefaultRepositories(Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.IServiceCollection,System.Reflection.Assembly,System.String[])`

This method is intended to be a way for other `Phoenix.ComponentAPI.IHarnessRunnerClient` instances to register themselves while sharing the same code as the default implementations.

[GetClient()](Phoenix.ComponentClient.ClientFactory.GetClient.md#Phoenix_ComponentClient_ClientFactory_GetClient)

Retrieve a new instance of IHarnessRunnerClient. It will be pre-initialized and ready to do work. If you use this method, you do not need to call ConfigureServiceCollection or ConfigureWithDefaultRepositories.
