Overriding of catalogs
----------------------
.. currentmodule:: dependency_injector.catalogs
Catalogs can be overridden by other catalogs. This, actually, means that
all of the providers from overriding catalog will override providers with the
same names in overridden catalog.
There are two ways to override :py:class:`DeclarativeCatalog` with another
catalog:
- Use :py:meth:`DeclarativeCatalog.override` method.
- Use :py:func:`override` class decorator.
Example of overriding catalog using :py:meth:`DeclarativeCatalog.override`
method:
.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/catalogs/override_declarative.py
:language: python
Example of overriding catalog using :py:func:`override` decorator:
.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/catalogs/override_declarative_decorator.py
:language: python
Also there are several useful :py:class:`DeclarativeCatalog` methods and
properties that help to work with catalog overridings:
- :py:attr:`DeclarativeCatalog.is_overridden` - read-only property that is set
to ``True`` if catalog is overridden.
- :py:attr:`DeclarativeCatalog.last_overriding` - read-only reference to
the last overriding catalog, if any.
- :py:attr:`DeclarativeCatalog.overridden_by` - tuple of all overriding
catalogs.
- :py:meth:`DeclarativeCatalog.reset_last_overriding()` - reset last
overriding catalog.
- :py:meth:`DeclarativeCatalog.reset_override()` - reset all overridings for
all catalog providers.
:py:class:`DynamicCatalog` has exactly the same functionality, except of
:py:func:`override` decorator. Also :py:class:`DynamicCatalog` can override
:py:class:`DeclarativeCatalog` and vise versa.
Example of overriding :py:class:`DeclarativeCatalog` by
:py:class:`DynamicCatalog`:
.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/catalogs/override_declarative_by_dynamic.py
:language: python
