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.
