Declarative catalogs
--------------------
``di.DeclarativeCatalog`` is a catalog of providers that could be defined in
declarative manner. It should cover most of the cases when list of providers
that would be included in catalog is deterministic (catalog will not change
its structure in runtime).
Declarative catalogs have to extend base declarative catalog class -
``di.DeclarativeCatalog``.
Providers have to be defined like catalog's class attributes. Every provider in
catalog has name. This name should follow ``some_provider`` convention,
that is standard naming convention for attribute names in Python.
.. note::
It might be useful to add such ``""":type: di.Provider -> Object1"""``
docstrings just on the next line after provider's definition. It will
help code analyzing tools and IDE's to understand that variable above
contains some callable object, that returns particular instance as a
result of its call.
Here is an simple example of declarative catalog with several factories:

:language: python
``di.DeclarativeCatalog`` has several features that could be useful for some
kind of operations on catalog's providers (please visit API docs for
getting full list of feautes -
:py:class:`dependency_injector.catalogs.DeclarativeCatalog`):
