+## Application state data
+
+Use [Dependency Injection](xref:fundamentals/dependency-injection) to make data available to all users.
+
+1. Define a service containing the data (for example, a class named `MyAppData`).
+
+```csharp
+public class MyAppData
+{
+    // Declare properties/methods/etc.
+} 
+```
+2. Add the service class to `ConfigureServices` (for example `services.AddSingleton<MyAppData>();`.
+3. Consume the data service class in each controller:
+
+```csharp
+public class MyController : Controller
+{
+    public MyController(MyAppData myService)
+    {
+        // Do something with the service (read some data from it, 
+        // store it in a private field/property, etc.
+    }
+    }
+} 
+```
