@rebelcode/plugin-injectable v0.0.1

Babel Plugin Injectable

Adds ability to mark objects as injectable so the DI container can automatically create instances and resolve dependencies. This plugin also adds the list of function (or constructor params) to the marked object. So the DI container shouldn't do in runtime.

Install

Run:

$ npm install --save-dev @rebelcode/plugin-injectable

And add @rebelcode/plugin-injectable plugin to your .babelrc

Details

After applying the plugin this code:

/**
 * @injectable
 */
export default function makeAdder (addService) {
  return (a, b) => addService.add(a, b)
}

Becomes this during transpilation:

/**
 * @injectable
 */
const makeAdder = function makeAdder(addService) {
  return (a, b) => addService.add(a, b);
};
makeAdder.$injectParams = ["addService"];
makeAdder.$injectable = true;
export default makeAdder;

After that the DI container can see the $injectable property on the class or function. So it can automaticaly create the service and resolve it's dependencies (parameters listed in $injectParams property).

Injectable classes

Using @injectable with classes to create new class instance with automatically resolved constructor dependencies.

To redefine the created instance name, set it after @injectable word in the comment block. Factory function preferred name can be also rewritten.

/**
 * @injectable fooService
 */
class FooCoolService {
  constructor (moment) {
    // ...
  }
}

The plugin will add these fields:

FooCoolService.$injectable = true;
FooCoolService.$injectParams = ["moment"];
FooCoolService.$injectAs = "fooService";
FooCoolService.$injectNewInstance = true;

So the DI container can: 1. Use that name fooService to create new instance of the service. 2. Create new instance of FooCoolService in container with automaticaly resolved dependencies.
