在開發ASP.NET專案時，常常會使用HttpClient來call API。但HttpClient不像SqlConnect底層有connection pool的機制，若每次使用完馬上關閉連線，下次使用時還要耗費額外的資源重新開啟連線，但一直保持連線開啟又可能耗盡資源。在.net core2.1後新增的HttpClientFactory可以統一管理HttpClient的連線。
在.net core要使用HttpClientFactory的話，首先在Startup.cs中把HttpClient加入容器
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddHttpClient();
}在constructer注入IHttpClientFactory
public HomeController(IHttpClientFactory httpClientFactory)
{
_httpClientFactory = httpClientFactory;
}之後的使用方式就跟HttpClient一樣了
HttpClient httpClient = _httpClientFactory.CreateClient();另外在ConfigureServices加入時可以一併設定HttpClient的預設值，如bearer token之類的，也可以建立具名的HttpClient
services.AddHttpClient("MyApiService", config =>
{
config.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", accessToken);
});使用時只要指定名稱就可以了
HttpClient httpClient = _httpClientFactory.CreateClient("MyApiService");如果要在.net專案使用HttpClientFactory的話可以參考這篇
