Advanced usage
==============
Current section of documentation describes advanced usage of
*Dependency Injector*.
@inject decorator
-----------------
``@di.inject()`` decorator can be used for making *inline* dependency
injections. It *patches* decorated callable in such way that dependency
injection will be done during every call of decorated callable.
``di.inject()`` takes a various number of positional and keyword arguments
that are used as decorated callable injections. Every time, when
``di.inject()`` is called, positional and keyword argument injections would be
passed as an callable arguments.
Such behaviour is very similar to the standard Python ``functools.partial``
object, except of one thing: all injectable values are provided
*"as is"*, except of providers (subclasses of ``di.Provider``). Providers
will be called every time, when injection needs to be done. For example,
if injectable value of injection is a ``di.Factory``, it will provide new one
instance (as a result of its call) every time, when injection needs to be done.
``di.inject()`` behaviour with context positional and keyword arguments is
very like a standard Python ``functools.partial``:
- Positional context arguments will be appended after ``di.inject()``
positional injections.
- Keyword context arguments have priority on ``di.inject()`` keyword
injections and will be merged over them.
Example:
.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/advanced_usage/inject_simple.py
:language: python
Example of usage ``@di.inject()`` decorator with Flask:
.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/advanced_usage/inject_flask.py
:language: python
@inject decorator with classes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``@di.inject()`` could be applied for classes. In such case, it will look for
class ``__init__()`` method and pass injection to it. If decorated class has
no ``__init__()`` method, appropriate ``di.Error`` will be raised.
Example of usage ``@di.inject()`` with Flask class-based view:
.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/advanced_usage/inject_flask_class_based.py
:language: python
