node-injectable v3.2.0

node-injectable

A simple library for dependency injection with support for ES6 generators. For more information about this pattern look at: Dependency injection and Inversion of control.

• supports ES6 classes
• supports async functions
• working with Typescript

Migration from v2

• Project was completely rewrite to Typescript.
• resolve no longer returns Promise.
• added method get as alias to resolve.

Install

$ npm install node-injectable --save

Usage

Let’s take a look to the recommended usage and APIs of Injectable:

Step1: Declare factories with some dependencies

/**
 * @injectable(foo)
 */
module.exports.createFoo = function() {
    return "foo"
}

/**
 * @injectable(bar)
 */
module.exports.createBar = function(foo) {
    return foo + "bar"
}

Step2: Create a Container a tell him where are your dependencies

import { Container } from "node-injectable"

const container = new Container()
container.lookup(['src/**/*.js']).then(() => {
    container.get('foo') // "foo"
    container.get('bar') // "foobar"
})

• lookup scan files you want and automatically register all services
• lookup can found only exported services

Annotations

There is several ways how to annotate modules, functions and classes. In general if you want to register module, function or class automatically by annotations you must provide @injectable(NAME) in comment.

Resolve by parameter

Your module will be registered as bar and have 2 dependencies dep1 and dep2 .

/**
 * @injectable(logger)
 */
module.exports = function(dep1, dep2) {}

Resolve by name

You can specify name of services to inject.

/**
 * @injectable(bar)
 * @param foo @inject(logger)
 * @param bar @inject(request)
 */
module.exports = function(foo, bar) {}

Annotations examples

module.exports functions

/**
 * @injectable(foo)
 */
module.exports.createFoo = function() {
}

/**
 * @injectable(bar)
 */
module.exports.createBar = async function() {
}

/**
 * @injectable(foo)
 */
module.exports = function() {
}

module.exports = {
    /**
     * @injectable(foo)
     */
    createFoo: function() {
    },

    /**
     * @injectable(bar)
     */
    createBar: async function() {
    }
}

module.exports classes

class Foo {
    /**
     * @injectable(foo)
     */
    constructor() {
    }
}
module.exports = Foo

class Foo {
    /**
     * @injectable(foo)
     */
    constructor() {
    }
}
module.exports.Foo = Foo

exports functions (ES6)

/**
 * @injectable(foo)
 */
exports.createFoo = function() {
}

/**
 * @injectable(bar)
 */
exports.createBar = async function() {
}

/**
 * @injectable(default)
 */
function default_1() {
}
exports.default = default_1

exports classes (ES6)

class Foo {
    /**
     * @injectable(foo)
     */
    constructor() {
    }
}
exports.Foo = Foo
