@ -52,10 +52,25 @@ What is ``Dependency Injector``?
``Dependency Injector`` is a dependency injection framework for Python.
Why do I need it?
=================
It stands on two principles:
``Dependency Injector`` helps you understand and change the structure of the application.
- Explicit is better than implicit (PEP20).
- Do no magic to your code.
How does it different from the other frameworks?
- **No autowiring.** The framework does NOT do any autowiring / autoresolving of the dependencies. You need to specify everything explicitly. Because *"Explicit is better than implicit" (PEP20)*.
- **Does not pollute your code.** Your application does NOT know and does NOT depend on the framework. No ``@inject`` decorators, annotations, patching or any other magic tricks.
``Dependency Injector`` makes a simple contract with you:
- You tell the framework how to build you code
- The framework does it for you
The power of the ``Dependency Injector`` is in its simplicity and straightforwardness. It is a simple tool for the powerful concept.
Example
=======
With the ``Dependency Injector`` you keep **application structure in one place**.
This place is called **the container**. You use the container to manage all the components of the

*The container is like a map of your application. You always know what depends on what.*
``Flask`` + ``Dependency Injector`` example application container:
Example application container:
.. code-block:: python
from dependency_injector import containers, providers
from dependency_injector.ext import flask
from flask import Flask
from flask_bootstrap import Bootstrap
from github import Github
import logging
import sys
from . import views, services
from dependency_injector import containers, providers
from . import http, monitors, dispatcher
class ApplicationContainer(containers.DeclarativeContainer):
"""Application container."""
class ApplicationContainer(containers.DeclarativeContainer):
app = flask.Application(Flask, __name__)
config = providers.Configuration()
bootstrap = flask.Extension(Bootstrap)
configure_logging = providers.Callable(
logging.basicConfig,
stream=sys.stdout,
level=config.log.level,
format=config.log.format,
)
config = providers.Configuration()
http_client = providers.Factory(http.HttpClient)
github_client = providers.Factory(
Github,
login_or_token=config.github.auth_token,
timeout=config.github.request_timeout,
)
example_monitor = providers.Factory(
monitors.HttpMonitor,
http_client=http_client,
options=config.monitors.example,
)
search_service = providers.Factory(
services.SearchService,
github_client=github_client,
)
httpbin_monitor = providers.Factory(
monitors.HttpMonitor,
http_client=http_client,
options=config.monitors.httpbin,
)
index_view = flask.View(
views.index,
search_service=search_service,
default_query=config.search.default_query,
default_limit=config.search.default_limit,
)
dispatcher = providers.Factory(
dispatcher.Dispatcher,
monitors=providers.List(
example_monitor,
httpbin_monitor,
),
)
Running such container looks like this:
Example of running of such application:
.. code-block:: python
from .containers import ApplicationContainer
from .containers import ApplicationContainer
def create_app():
"""Create and return Flask application."""
container = ApplicationContainer()
container.config.from_yaml('config.yml')
container.config.github.auth_token.from_env('GITHUB_TOKEN')
def main() -> None:
container = ApplicationContainer()
app = container.app()
app.container = container
container.config.from_yaml('config.yml')
container.configure_logging()
bootstrap = container.bootstrap()
bootstrap.init_app(app)
app.add_url_rule('/', view_func=container.index_view.as_view())
return app
And testing looks like:
.. code-block:: python
from unittest import mock
import pytest
from github import Github
from flask import url_for
from .application import create_app
dispatcher = container.dispatcher()
dispatcher.run()
@pytest.fixture
def app():
return create_app()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

=========

# Configure mock
Tutorial is a good point to start.
with app.container.github_client.override(github_client_mock):

==========================
- Open a `Github Issue <https://github.com/ets-labs/python-dependency-injector/issues>`_
What is the dependency injection?
- dependency injection is a principle that decreases coupling and increases cohesion
Why should I do the dependency injection?
- your code becomes more flexible, testable and clear
- you have no problems when you need to understand how it works or change it 😎
How do I start doing the dependency injection?
- you start writing the code following the dependency injection principle
- you register all of your application components and their dependencies in the container
- when you need a component, you get it from the container
Why do I need a framework for this?
- you need the framework for this to not create it by your own
- this framework gives you the container and the providers
- the container is like a dictionary with the batteries 🔋
- the providers manage the lifetime of your components, you will need factories, singletons, smart config object etc
What price do I pay and what do I get?
- you need to explicitly specify the dependencies in the container
- it will be extra work in the beginning
- it will payoff when project grows or in two weeks 😊 (when you forget what project was about)
What features does the framework have?
- building objects graph
- smart configuration object
- providers: factory, singleton, thread locals registers, etc
- positional and keyword context injections
- overriding of the objects in any part of the graph
What features the framework does NOT have?
- autowiring / autoresolving of the dependencies
- the annotations and ``@inject``-like decorators
