dependency-container-js v2.0.0-beta1

"dependency-container-js" is a simple IOC container pattern for NodeJS.

You can get the latest release from the official npmjs.com feed or from the github releases page.

Getting Started

Importing the module and initializing an instance

// Import the module.
const { DependencyContainer } = require('dependency-container-js');

// Initialize an instance
const diContainer = new DependencyContainer();

Registering services.

// Registering a service as singleton.
diContainer.singleton('DummyService', () => new DummyService());

// Registering a service as transient.
diContainer.transient('DummyService', () => new DummyService());

Injecting IoC container to components.

// Register component named 'DummyController'.
diContainer.transient('DummyController', ioc => new DummyController(ioc));

Resolving a service

// Resolve service named 'DummyController'.
const dummyController = diContainer.resolve('DummyController');

Full demonstration:

Content of DummyService.js:

/**
 * DummyService is a dummy service to demonstrate how to register a service for an IoC
 * container.
 * @class DummyService
 */
class DummyService {

	/**
	 * Gets the necessary message.
	 */
	getMessage(){
		return 'Hello there!';
	}
}

module.exports = DummyService;

Content of DummyController.js:

/**
 * DummyController is a dummy component to demonstrate how to resolve
 * registered dependencies.
 * @class DummyController
 */
class DummyController {
    
    /**
     * Initializes an instance of the DummyController.
     * @param {DependencyContainer} ioc - Instance of the IoC container (Mandatory).
     * @param {object} options - Initialization options (Optional).
     */
    constructor(ioc, options){
 
        // Resolve necessary dependencies.
        this.__dummyService = ioc.resolve('DummyService');
        // this.__myOtherLovelyService = ioc.resolve('OtherLovelyService');
 
        // Assign options to the local field.
        this.__options = options;
    }

    /**
     * Writes the necessary message to the console.
     */
    saySomething(){
        console.log(this.__dummyService.getMessage());
    }
}
 
module.exports = DummyController;

Content of index.js

// Import the module.
const { DependencyContainer } = require('dependency-container-js');

// Import dependent modules.
const DummyController = require('./DummyController');
const DummyService = require('./DummyService');

// Initialize an instance of the DIController.
const diContainer = new DependencyContainer();

// Register.
diContainer.transient('DummyService', () => new DummyService())
	.transient('DummyController', ioc => new DummyController(ioc))


// Consider, this is another block of code from another js module.
const controller = diContainer.resolve('DummyController');
controller.saySomething();
