Factory providers ----------------- ``Factory`` provider creates new instance of specified class on every call. Nothing could be better than brief example: .. image:: /images/factory.png :width: 80% :align: center .. code-block:: python """`Factory` providers example.""" from objects.providers import Factory class User(object): """Example class User.""" # Factory provider creates new instance of specified class on every call. users_factory = Factory(User) # Creating several User objects: user1 = users_factory() user2 = users_factory() # Making some asserts: assert user1 is not user2 assert isinstance(user1, User) and isinstance(user2, User) Factory providers and injections ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Objects can take dependencies in different forms. Some objects take init arguments, other are using attributes setting or method calls to be initialized. It affects how such objects need to be created and initialized, and that is the place where ``objects.injections`` need to be used. ``Factory`` provider takes various number of positional arguments, that define what kind of dependency injections need to be done. All of those instructions are defined in ``objects.injections`` module and are subclasses of ``objects.injections.Injection``. There are several types of injections that are used by ``Factory`` provider: - ``KwArg`` - injection is done by passing injectable value in object's ``__init__()`` method in time of object's creation via keyword argument. Takes keyword name of ``__init__()`` argument and injectable value. - ``Attribute`` - injection is done by setting specified attribute with injectable value right after object's creation. Takes attribute's name and injectable value. - ``Method`` - injection is done by calling of specified method with injectable value right after object's creation and attribute injections are done. Takes method name and injectable value. All ``Injection``'s injectable values are provided *"as is"*, except of providers. Providers will be called every time, when injection needs to be done. Factory providers and __init__ injections ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Example below shows how to create ``Factory`` of particular class with ``__init__`` keyword argument injections which injectable values are also provided by another factories: .. image:: /images/factory_init_injections.png .. code-block:: python """`Factory` providers with init injections example.""" from objects.providers import Factory from objects.injections import KwArg class User(object): """Example class User.""" def __init__(self, main_photo): """Initializer. :param main_photo: Photo :return: """ self.main_photo = main_photo super(User, self).__init__() class Photo(object): """Example class Photo.""" # User and Photo factories: photos_factory = Factory(Photo) users_factory = Factory(User, KwArg('main_photo', photos_factory)) # Creating several User objects: user1 = users_factory() # Same as: user1 = User(main_photo=Photo()) user2 = users_factory() # Same as: user2 = User(main_photo=Photo()) # Making some asserts: assert isinstance(user1, User) assert isinstance(user1.main_photo, Photo) assert isinstance(user2, User) assert isinstance(user2.main_photo, Photo) assert user1 is not user2 assert user1.main_photo is not user2.main_photo Next example shows how ``Factory`` provider deals with positional and keyword ``__init__`` context arguments. In few words, ``Factory`` provider fully passes positional context arguments to class's ``__init__`` method, but keyword context arguments have priority on ``KwArg`` injections (this could be useful for testing). So, please, follow the example below: .. image:: /images/factory_init_injections_and_contexts.png .. code-block:: python """`Factory` providers with init injections and context arguments example.""" from objects.providers import Factory from objects.injections import KwArg class User(object): """Example class User. Class User has to be provided with user id. Also Class User has dependencies on class Photo and class CreditCard objects. All of the dependencies have to be provided like __init__ arguments. """ def __init__(self, id, main_photo, credit_card): """Initializer. :param id: int :param main_photo: Photo :param credit_card: CreditCard :return: """ self.id = id self.main_photo = main_photo self.credit_card = credit_card super(User, self).__init__() class Photo(object): """Example class Photo.""" class CreditCard(object): """Example class CreditCard.""" # User, Photo and CreditCard factories: credit_cards_factory = Factory(CreditCard) photos_factory = Factory(Photo) users_factory = Factory(User, KwArg('main_photo', photos_factory), KwArg('credit_card', credit_cards_factory)) # Creating several User objects: user1 = users_factory(1) # Same as: user1 = User(1, # main_photo=Photo(), # credit_card=CreditCard()) user2 = users_factory(2) # Same as: user2 = User(2, # main_photo=Photo(), # credit_card=CreditCard()) # Making some asserts: assert user1.id == 1 assert isinstance(user1.main_photo, Photo) assert isinstance(user1.credit_card, CreditCard) assert user2.id == 2 assert isinstance(user2.main_photo, Photo) assert isinstance(user2.credit_card, CreditCard) assert user1.main_photo is not user2.main_photo assert user1.credit_card is not user2.credit_card # Context keyword arguments have priority on KwArg injections priority: main_photo_mock = Photo() credit_card_mock = CreditCard() user3 = users_factory(3, main_photo=main_photo_mock, credit_card=credit_card_mock) assert user3.id == 3 assert user3.main_photo is main_photo_mock assert user3.credit_card is credit_card_mock Factory providers and attribute injections ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Example below shows how to create ``Factory`` of particular class with attribute injections. Those injections are done by setting specified attributes with injectable values right after object's creation. Example: .. image:: /images/factory_attribute_injections.png .. code-block:: python """`Factory` providers with attribute injections example.""" from objects.providers import Factory from objects.injections import Attribute class User(object): """Example class User.""" def __init__(self): """Initializer.""" self.main_photo = None self.credit_card = None class Photo(object): """Example class Photo.""" class CreditCard(object): """Example class CreditCard.""" # User, Photo and CreditCard factories: credit_cards_factory = Factory(CreditCard) photos_factory = Factory(Photo) users_factory = Factory(User, Attribute('main_photo', photos_factory), Attribute('credit_card', credit_cards_factory)) # Creating several User objects: user1 = users_factory() # Same as: user1 = User() # user1.main_photo = Photo() # user1.credit_card = CreditCard() user2 = users_factory() # Same as: user2 = User() # user2.main_photo = Photo() # user2.credit_card = CreditCard() # Making some asserts: assert user1 is not user2 assert isinstance(user1.main_photo, Photo) assert isinstance(user1.credit_card, CreditCard) assert isinstance(user2.main_photo, Photo) assert isinstance(user2.credit_card, CreditCard) assert user1.main_photo is not user2.main_photo assert user1.credit_card is not user2.credit_card Factory providers and method injections ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Current example shows how to create ``Factory`` of particular class with method injections. Those injections are done by calling of specified method with injectable value right after object's creation and attribute injections are done. Method injections are not very popular in Python due Python best practices (usage of public attributes instead of setter methods), but it may appear in some cases. Example: .. image:: /images/factory_method_injections.png .. code-block:: python """`Factory` providers with method injections example.""" from objects.providers import Factory from objects.injections import Method class User(object): """Example class User.""" def __init__(self): """Initializer.""" self.main_photo = None self.credit_card = None def set_main_photo(self, photo): """Set user's main photo.""" self.main_photo = photo def set_credit_card(self, credit_card): """Set user's credit card.""" self.credit_card = credit_card class Photo(object): """Example class Photo.""" class CreditCard(object): """Example class CreditCard.""" # User, Photo and CreditCard factories: credit_cards_factory = Factory(CreditCard) photos_factory = Factory(Photo) users_factory = Factory(User, Method('set_main_photo', photos_factory), Method('set_credit_card', credit_cards_factory)) # Creating several User objects: user1 = users_factory() # Same as: user1 = User() # user1.set_main_photo(Photo()) # user1.set_credit_card(CreditCard()) user2 = users_factory() # Same as: user2 = User() # user2.set_main_photo(Photo()) # user2.set_credit_card(CreditCard()) # Making some asserts: assert user1 is not user2 assert isinstance(user1.main_photo, Photo) assert isinstance(user1.credit_card, CreditCard) assert isinstance(user2.main_photo, Photo) assert isinstance(user2.credit_card, CreditCard) assert user1.main_photo is not user2.main_photo assert user1.credit_card is not user2.credit_card Factory providers delegation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ``Factory`` provider could be delegated to any other provider via any kind of injection. Saying in other words, delegation of factories - is a way to inject factories themselves, instead of results of their calls. As it was mentioned earlier, ``Injection`` calls ``Factory`` if ``Factory`` is injectable value. ``Factory`` delegation is performed by wrapping delegated ``Factory`` into special provider type - ``Delegate``, that just returns ``Factory`` itself. Another one, more *convenient*, method of creating ``Delegate`` for ``Factory`` is just calling ``Factory.delegate()`` method that returns delegate for current factory. Example: .. image:: /images/factory_delegation.png .. code-block:: python """`Factory` providers delegation example.""" from objects.providers import Factory from objects.injections import KwArg class User(object): """Example class User.""" def __init__(self, photos_factory): """Initializer. :param photos_factory: objects.providers.Factory :return: """ self.photos_factory = photos_factory self._main_photo = None super(User, self).__init__() @property def main_photo(self): """Return user's main photo.""" if not self._main_photo: self._main_photo = self.photos_factory() return self._main_photo class Photo(object): """Example class Photo.""" # User and Photo factories: photos_factory = Factory(Photo) users_factory = Factory(User, KwArg('photos_factory', photos_factory.delegate())) # Creating several User objects: user1 = users_factory() user2 = users_factory() # Making some asserts: assert isinstance(user1, User) assert isinstance(user1.main_photo, Photo) assert isinstance(user2, User) assert isinstance(user2.main_photo, Photo) assert user1 is not user2 assert user1.main_photo is not user2.main_photo
