Cordis
Cordis is a TypeScript plugin framework for applications that need explicit
dependency injection, scoped services, lifecycle-managed cleanup, and optional
configuration-driven loading. The core package is published as cordis; the
official packages in this repository add a loader, config-file includes, HMR,
console logging, timers, and project scaffolding.
Install
yarn add cordis
Cordis is ESM-first. The repository is tested on current Node releases, and the scaffolder requires Node 22 or newer.
Quick Start
import { Context, Service } from 'cordis'
declare module 'cordis' {
interface Context {
counter: Counter
}
interface Events {
'app/ready'(message: string): void
}
}
class Counter extends Service {
value = 0
constructor(ctx: Context) {
super(ctx, 'counter')
}
next() {
return ++this.value
}
}
const greeter = Object.assign((ctx: Context) => {
ctx.on('app/ready', (message) => {
ctx.logger.info('%s #%d', message, ctx.counter.next())
})
}, {
inject: ['counter'],
})
const root = new Context()
await root.plugin(Counter)
await root.plugin(greeter)
root.emit('app/ready', 'started')
await root.fiber.dispose()
The important pieces are:
new Context()creates the root dependency container.ctx.plugin()starts a plugin and returns aFiber.injecttells Cordis which services must exist before the plugin runs.- Effects, event listeners, and services are removed when their owning fiber is disposed.

The monorepo uses Yakumo to build and test all packages. Most examples in the
docs use public APIs from cordis; loader examples additionally use
@cordisjs/plugin-loader and @cordisjs/plugin-include.
