ASP.NET Core DI access container directly

Is there a way of accessing the DI container of ASP.NET Core directly from a class?

Usually what is done is constructor injection:

public class ProductsController : Controller
{
    public ProductsController(ISomeService service)
    {

    }
}

Instead, I would like to do something like:

var service = ServiceLocator.GetService<ISomeService>();

For some services I would not like to use the default constructor injection, but rather get the service directly from the container.

It's called the Service locator pattern and can be done by injecting the IServiceProvider

public class ProductsController : Controller
{
    public ProductsController(IServiceProvider services)
    {
        var service = services.GetService<ISomeService>(); 
    }
}

Here's a good article which goes throw the different strategies
