What is ``Dependency Injector``?
================================
``Dependency Injector`` is a dependency injection framework for Python.
The power of the framework is in its simplicity and straightforwardness.
It stands on two principles:
- 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`` follows a simple contract with you:
- You tell the framework how to build you code
- The framework does it for you
``Dependency Injector`` is a simple tool for the powerful concept.
Why do I need it?
=================
``Dependency Injector`` helps you understand and change the structure of the application.
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
application. All the component dependencies are defined explicitly. This provides the control on
the application structure. It is **easy to understand and change** it.

*The container is like a map of your application. You always know what depends on what.*
``Flask`` + ``Dependency Injector`` 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
from . import views, services
class ApplicationContainer(containers.DeclarativeContainer):
"""Application container."""
app = flask.Application(Flask, __name__)
bootstrap = flask.Extension(Bootstrap)
config = providers.Configuration()
github_client = providers.Factory(
Github,
login_or_token=config.github.auth_token,
timeout=config.github.request_timeout,
)
search_service = providers.Factory(
services.SearchService,
github_client=github_client,
)
index_view = flask.View(
views.index,
search_service=search_service,
default_query=config.search.default_query,
default_limit=config.search.default_limit,
)
Running such container looks like this:
.. code-block:: python
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')
app = container.app()
app.container = container
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
@pytest.fixture
def app():
return create_app()
def test_index(client, app):
github_client_mock = mock.Mock(spec=Github)
# Configure mock
with app.container.github_client.override(github_client_mock):
response = client.get(url_for('index'))
assert response.status_code == 200
# Do more asserts

How to install?
---------------
- The package is available on the `PyPi`_::
pip install dependency-injector
Where is the docs?
------------------
- The documentation is available on the `Read The Docs <http://python-dependency-injector.ets-labs.org/>`_
Frequently asked questions
--------------------------
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?
- auto wiring / auto resolving of the dependencies
- the annotations and ``@inject``-like decorators
