Dependency Injector - Dependency injection microframework for Python
|
||
====================================================================
|
||
|
||
*Dependency Injector* is a dependency injection microframework for Python.
|
||
It was designed to be unified, developer-friendly tool that helps to implement
|
||
dependency injection pattern in formal, pretty, Pythonic way.
|
||
|
||
*Dependency Injector* framework key features are:
|
||
|
||
+ Easy, smart, pythonic style.
|
||
+ Obvious, clear structure.
|
||
+ Extensibility and flexibility.
|
||
+ High performance.
|
||
+ Memory efficiency.
|
||
+ Thread safety.
|
||
+ Documentation.
|
||
+ Semantic versioning.
|
||
|
||
*Dependency Injector* providers are implemented as C extension types using
|
||
Cython.

Dependency injection
|
||
--------------------
|
||
|
||
`Dependency injection`_ is a software design pattern that implements
|
||
`Inversion of control`_ for resolving dependencies. Formally, if object **A**
|
||
depends on object **B**, object **A** must not create or import object **B**
|
||
directly. Instead of this object **A** must provide a way for *injecting*
|
||
object **B**. The responsibilities of objects creation and dependencies
|
||
injection are delegated to external code - the *dependency injector*.
|
||
|
||
Popular terminology of dependency injection pattern:
|
||
|
||
+ Object **A**, that is dependant on object **B**, is often called -
|
||
the *client*.
|
||
+ Object **B**, that is a dependency, is often called - the *service*.
|
||
+ External code that is responsible for creation of objects and injection
|
||
of dependencies is often called - the *dependency injector*.
|
||
|
||
There are several ways of how *service* can be injected into the *client*:
|
||
|
||
+ by passing it as ``__init__`` argument (constructor / initializer injection)
|
||
+ by setting it as attribute's value (attribute injection)
|
||
+ by passing it as method's argument (method injection)
|
||
|
||
Dependency injection pattern has few strict rules that should be followed:
|
||
|
||
+ The *client* delegates to the *dependency injector* the responsibility
|
||
of injecting its dependencies - the *service(s)*.
|
||
+ The *client* doesn't know how to create the *service*, it knows only
|
||
interface of the *service*. The *service* doesn't know that it is used by
|
||
the *client*.
|
||
+ The *dependency injector* knows how to create the *client* and
|
||
the *service*, it also knows that the *client* depends on the *service*,
|
||
and knows how to inject the *service* into the *client*.
|
||
+ The *client* and the *service* know nothing about the *dependency injector*.
|
||
|
||
Dependency injection pattern provides the following advantages:
|
||
|
||
+ Control on application structure.
|
||
+ Decreased coupling between application components.
|
||
+ Increased code reusability.
|
||
+ Increased testability.
|
||
+ Increased maintainability.
|
||
+ Reconfiguration of system without rebuilding.
|
||
|
||
Example of dependency injection
|
||
-------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Let's go through next example:
|
||
|
||
.. image:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/ets-labs/python-dependency-injector/img/engines_cars/diagram.png
|
||
:width: 100%
|
||
:align: center
|
||
|
||
Listing of ``example.engines`` module:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: python
|
||
|
||
"""Dependency injection example, engines module."""
|
||
|
||
|
||
class Engine(object):
|
||
"""Example engine base class.
|
||
|
||
Engine is a heart of every car. Engine is a very common term and could be
|
||
implemented in very different ways.
|
||
"""
|
||
|
||
|
||
class GasolineEngine(Engine):
|
||
"""Gasoline engine."""
|
||
|
||
|
||
class DieselEngine(Engine):
|
||
"""Diesel engine."""
|
||
|
||
|
||
class ElectroEngine(Engine):
|
||
"""Electro engine."""
|
||
|
||
Listing of ``example.cars`` module:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: python
|
||
|
||
"""Dependency injection example, cars module."""
|
||
|
||
|
||
class Car(object):
|
||
"""Example car."""
|
||
|
||
def __init__(self, engine):
|
||
"""Initializer."""
|
||
self._engine = engine # Engine is injected
|
||
|
||
Next example demonstrates creation of several cars with different engines:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: python
|
||
|
||
"""Dependency injection example, Cars & Engines."""
|
||
|
||
import example.cars
|
||
import example.engines
|
||
|
||
|
||
if __name__ == '__main__':
|
||
gasoline_car = example.cars.Car(example.engines.GasolineEngine())
|
||
diesel_car = example.cars.Car(example.engines.DieselEngine())
|
||
electro_car = example.cars.Car(example.engines.ElectroEngine())
|
||
|
||
While previous example demonstrates advantages of dependency injection, there
|
||
is a disadvantage demonstration as well - creation of car requires additional
|
||
code for specification of dependencies. Nevertheless, this disadvantage could
|
||
be easily avoided by using a dependency injection framework for creation of
|
||
inversion of control container (IoC container).
|
||
|
||
Example of creation of several inversion of control containers (IoC containers)
|
||
using *Dependency Injector*:
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: python
|
||
|
||
"""Dependency injection example, Cars & Engines IoC containers."""
|
||
|
||
import example.cars
|
||
import example.engines
|
||
|
||
import dependency_injector.containers as containers
|
||
import dependency_injector.providers as providers
|
||
|
||
|
||
class Engines(containers.DeclarativeContainer):
|
||
"""IoC container of engine providers."""
|
||
|
||
gasoline = providers.Factory(example.engines.GasolineEngine)
|
||
|
||
diesel = providers.Factory(example.engines.DieselEngine)
|
||
|
||
electro = providers.Factory(example.engines.ElectroEngine)
|
||
|
||
|
||
class Cars(containers.DeclarativeContainer):
|
||
"""IoC container of car providers."""
|
||
|
||
gasoline = providers.Factory(example.cars.Car,
|
||
engine=Engines.gasoline)
|
||
|
||
diesel = providers.Factory(example.cars.Car,
|
||
engine=Engines.diesel)
|
||
|
||
electro = providers.Factory(example.cars.Car,
|
||
engine=Engines.electro)
|
||
|
||
|
||
if __name__ == '__main__':
|
||
gasoline_car = Cars.gasoline()
|
||
diesel_car = Cars.diesel()
|
||
electro_car = Cars.electro()
|
||
|
||
Dependency Injector structure
|
||
-----------------------------
|
||
|
||
Dependency Injector is a microframework and has a very simple structure.
|
||
|
||
There are 2 main entities: providers & containers.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Providers
|
||
~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
Providers are strategies of accessing objects. They define how particular
|
||
objects are provided.
|
||
|
||
- **Provider** - base provider class.
|
||
- **Callable** - provider that calls wrapped callable on every call. Supports
|
||
positional & keyword argument injections.
|
||
- **Factory** - provider that creates new instance of specified class on every
|
||
call. Supports positional & keyword argument injections, as well as
|
||
attribute injections.
|
||
- **Singleton** - provider that creates new instance of specified class on first
|
||
call and returns same instance on every next call. Supports positional &
|
||
keyword argument injections, as well as attribute injections.
|
||
- **Object** - provider that returns provided instance "as is".
|
||
- **ExternalDependency** - provider that can be useful for development of
|
||
self-sufficient libraries / modules / applications that has required
|
||
external dependencies.
|
||
- **Configuration** - provider that helps with implementing late static binding
|
||
of configuration options - use first, define later.
|
||
|
||
Containers
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
Containers are collections of providers. Main purpose of containers is to
|
||
group providers.
|
||
|
||
- **DeclarativeContainer** - is inversion of control container that could be
|
||
defined in declarative manner. It should cover most of the cases when list
|
||
of providers that would be included in container is deterministic
|
||
(container will not change its structure in runtime).
|
||
- **DynamicContainer** - is an inversion of control container with dynamic
|
||
structure. It should cover most of the cases when list of providers that
|
||
would be included in container is non-deterministic and depends on
|
||
application's flow or its configuration (container's structure could be
|
||
determined just after application will be started and will do some initial
|
||
work, like parsing list of container’s providers from the configuration).
|
||
|
||
Dependency Injector in action
|
||
-----------------------------
|
||
|
||
Brief example below is a simplified version of inversion of control
|
||
containters from one of the real-life applications. This example demonstrates
|
||
usage of *Dependency Injector* inversion of control containers & providers
|
||
for specifying all application components and their dependencies beetween
|
||
each other in one module. Besides other listed above advantages, it gives a
|
||
great opportunity to control & manage application's structure in one place.
