di-ioc v1.8.2

di-ioc

Dependency injection.

Installation

npm install --save di-ioc

Example

util/index.js

module.exports = require('di-ioc').create()

// Start defining a `random` service:
.define('random', function () {
  var pseudoRandomBytes = require('crypto').pseudoRandomBytes;

  // The `random` service has one function:
  return {
    base64: function () {
      return pseudoRandomBytes(20).toString('base64');
    }
  };
});

app/index.js

module.exports = require('di-ioc').create()

// Greeting service which uses the random service: (arguments are detected)
.define('greet', function (random) {
  return function (name) {
    console.log('Hello ' + name + '! Here is a random string: ' + random.base64());
  };
});

index.js

module.exports = require('di-ioc').create(require)
.use('./util')
.use('./app')

.init();

var randomService = module.exports.util.random;

// eQ/NZnl7qusVN9hB/3nCn3wFKfY=
console.log(randomService.base64());

// Hello World! Here is a random string: dfLGC20CpCJxAZSu+uFp57dlJl0=
module.exports.app.greet();

Features

• Export to a standard object which automatically initialises dependencies as needed. This is the object .init() creates.
• Enforce that dependency graph divides into layers. For example, nothing in the 'util' submodule can depend on services in the 'app' submodule, due to the order of definition.
• Nest components in to hierarchial modules and folders.
• Instantiate one sub-tree of the hierarchy for testing.
• Instantiate objects with injected dependencies for unit testing.
• Define transient objects, using require('di-ioc').create().transient('serviceName', ...);.
