A Simple and easy-to-use Dependency Injection solution for Swift

by iOS Example

Dependency Injection

This package provides a simple and easy-to-use Dependency Injection (DI) solution for Swift projects. It is inspired by JSR-330 and uses a property wrapper named @Inject to inject dependencies into properties of classes, structs, and protocols.

Features

  • Support for both prototype and singleton scopes
  • Initialisable protocol for classes with an init method
  • Injectable protocol for objects that conform to Initialisable
  • WeakObjectWrapper class for wrapping reference types as weak references
  • Inject struct for property wrapper, allowing for the injection of dependencies into properties
  • Context class for managing the registration and resolution of dependencies
  • AssemblyBuilder class for creating and configuring an Assembly of dependencies

Usage

  1. Import the DependencyInjection module in your project.

  2. Use the @Inject property wrapper on properties in your classes, structs, and protocols.

class MyClass {
    @Inject var dependency: MyDependency
}
  1. Use the AssemblyBuilder to register your dependencies and configure the scope.

let assembly = AssemblyBuilder.instance
    .add(factory: { MyDependency() }, bindingName: "MyDependency", scope: .singleton)
    .build()
  1. Use the Context class to register the assembly and resolve the dependencies (in AppDelegate for example)
Context.instance.register(assembly)

Compatibility

This library requires Swift 5.3 or later.

Installation

You can install DependencyInjection using the Swift Package Manager by adding it as a dependency in your Package.swift file or adding it to your Xcode project.
