scorpion v1.2.1

Scorpion

Requirements

This package requires ES5 and promises.

We strongly recommend to use jakearchibald/es6-promise

Quickstart

Install Scorpion with npm: npm install scorpion.

import Scorpion from 'scorpion';
const di = new Scorpion();

// register an object
di.register('myConfig', Scorpion.always({
  test: true
}));

// get registered module
di.get('myConfig').then((myConfig) => {
  // do something
});

API

Registration of modules

di.register(name, dependencies, factoryFunction)

Register a module with dependencies.

di.register('foo', ['bar'], (bar) => {
  return {};
});

di.register(name, factoryFunction)

Register a module without dependencies.

di.register('foo', () => {
  return {};
});

di.forceRegister(name, dependencies, factoryFunction)

di.forceRegister(name, factoryFunction)

This method just works like register but won't throw when a module with the same name already exists.

Get and resolve dependencies

di.get(name)

get returns a promise which will be resolved once all dependencies are resolved.

di.get('foo').then((foo) => {
  // do something with foo
});

di.getAll(arrayOfDependencyNames)

getAll returns a promise which will be resolved once all requested modules and dependencies are resolved.

di.getAll(['foo', 'bar']).then((modules) => {
  modules[0] // foo
  modules[1] // bar
});

Other

di.getResolvedDependencyCount()

Returns an object with numbers that state how often each dependency got resolved.

// Example return value
{ Foo: 1, Bar: 1, Baz: 1 }

Built-in factory creator functions

Scorpion.always(objectOrFunction)

A factory function that always returns the first argument when di.get is called.

Scorpion.once(objectOrFunction)

Invokes the passed factory once and will then always return the same return value.

Scorpion.withNew(Constructor)

When di.get is called this factory function will initialize the given constructor with new.

Scorpion.withNewOnce(Constructor)

When di.get is called the first time this factory function will initialize the given constructor and for all upcoming calls it will always return the same instance. You can think of it as a singleton factory.

Examples

import Scorpion from 'scorpion';
const di = new Scorpion();

// register an object
di.register('myConfig', Scorpion.always({
  test: true
}));

// register a class
class MyClass {
  constructor(myConfig) {
  }
}
di.register('MyClass', ['myConfig'], Scorpion.withNew(MyClass));

// register an async factory
di.register('asyncModule', () => {
  return new Promise((resolve) => {
    // do some async tasks then resolve
    resolve({
      asyncModule: true
    });
  });
});

// get registered modules
di.get('myConfig').then((myConfig) => {
  // do something
});

di.get('MyClass').then((myClassInstance) => {
  // do something
});

di.get('asyncModule').then((asyncModule) => {
  // do something
});
