title: ASP.NET Core dependency injection from AddTransient to AddScoped
body: <p>I was looking through some code in an ASP.NET Core application and I noticed the repository services are added with AddScope, while in mine i am using addTransient. I have looked about the difference but i still do not understand how would this change my actual applicationn.</p>
  
  <p>this is the code i am using and the services i use on pages for Get / Post actions.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    services.AddHttpContextAccessor();
      services.AddSingleton&lt;IFileProvider&gt;(new PhysicalFileProvider(Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "wwwroot/files")));
