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 injection 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.
.. code-block:: python
"""Example of dependency injection in Python."""
import logging
import sqlite3
import boto.s3.connection
import example.main
import example.services
import dependency_injector.containers as containers
import dependency_injector.providers as providers
class Core(containers.DeclarativeContainer):
"""IoC container of core component providers."""
configuration = providers.Configuration('config')
logger = providers.Singleton(logging.Logger, name='example')
class Gateways(containers.DeclarativeContainer):
"""IoC container of gateway (API clients to remote services) providers."""
database = providers.Singleton(sqlite3.connect,
Core.configuration.database.dsn)
s3 = providers.Singleton(boto.s3.connection.S3Connection,
Core.configuration.aws.access_key_id,
Core.configuration.aws.secret_access_key)
class Services(containers.DeclarativeContainer):
"""IoC container of business service providers."""
users = providers.Factory(example.services.UsersService,
db=Gateways.database,
logger=Core.logger)
auth = providers.Factory(example.services.AuthService,
db=Gateways.database,
logger=Core.logger,
token_ttl=Core.configuration.auth.token_ttl)
photos = providers.Factory(example.services.PhotosService,
db=Gateways.database,
s3=Gateways.s3,
logger=Core.logger)
class Application(containers.DeclarativeContainer):
"""IoC container of application component providers."""
main = providers.Callable(example.main.main,
users_service=Services.users,
auth_service=Services.auth,
photos_service=Services.photos)
Next example demonstrates run of example application defined above:
.. code-block:: python
"""Run example application."""
import sys
import logging
from containers import Core, Application
if __name__ == '__main__':
# Configure platform:
Core.configuration.update({'database': {'dsn': ':memory:'},
'aws': {'access_key_id': 'KEY',
'secret_access_key': 'SECRET'},
'auth': {'token_ttl': 3600}})
Core.logger().addHandler(logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout))
# Run application:
Application.main(uid=sys.argv[1],
password=sys.argv[2],
photo=sys.argv[3])
