Injector

💡

I apologize for any outdated information in the document. We are currently in the process of building a separate and dedicated API website.

Injector plays an important role in dependency injection. It holds a set of bindings and resolve identifiers.

It has the following API:

constructor(collectionOrDependencies?: Dependency[], parent?: Injector). The first parameter is an array of dependencies that you want this injector to hold. And the second parameter is optional. It provided, it would be the injector’s parent.
createChild(dependencies?: Dependency[]): Injector. Create a child injector.
add<T>(dependency: Ctor<T> | DependencyPair<T> | DependencyIdentifier<T>, item?: DependencyItem<T> | T): void. Add a dependency into the injector.
get<T>(id: DependencyIdentifier<T>, quantityOrLookup?: Quantity | LookUp, lookUp?: LookUp): T[] | T | null. Get a sync dependency.
getAsync<T>(id: DependencyIdentifier<T>): Promise<T>. Get a dependency in an async way.
createInstance<T extends unknown[], U extends unknown[], C>(ctor: new (...args: [...T, ...U]) => C, ...customArgs: T). To instantiate a class. Please note that: all constructor parameters those will be injected should be put after those will not be injected. And objects created in this way would not be cached in injector. Injector will not call dispose method of these objects when injector itself is disposed.
