candi v0.2.3

Candi

Dependency injection and utility library for node.js

Why this name?

it CAN do Dependency Injection

Disclaimer

This has no dependencies. It should work on browser too. ECMAScript5 support is required. >=IE9 and all other modern browsers have it. We make use of Object.defineProperty, bind.apply and proto to handle Object inheritance and get/set actions. Both these methods can cause compatibility issues in older versions of javascript environments. I have ran my tests on node v0.10.* only, but it should work on 0.8 or earlier also. Please run tests using npm test before using.

Thanks

Creators of Pimple, Rewire and AngularJS have done tremendous job implementing Dependency Injection techniques. I am thankful to their respective authors for sharing knowledge and work with the community. Special thanks to author/s of LeapMotionTS for incredible grunt scripts.

Features

candi.CandiError.Template and candi.CandiError.Custom - for throwing template based Custom Errors. candi.ContainerErrors - enumerates errors thrown by candi. candi.Injection - injected property object. candi.Container - container class for Dependency Injection operations. candi.Util - wraps lodash and adds functionality. lodash can be replaced with underscore, lazy.js or other drop-in library of this kind.

TODO

All usable features I could think of are done. I will add more in readme, generate api, wiki tutorials later if requested. Injections for value, constant, provider, factory and service - all are here.

Usage

For now please review code and tests files. They have almost everything needed to get going.
