Callable providers ------------------ .. currentmodule:: dependency_injector.providers :py:class:`Callable` provider is a provider that wraps particular callable with some injections. Every call of this provider returns result of call of initial callable. Callable providers and injections ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :py:class:`Callable` takes a various number of positional and keyword arguments that are used as decorated callable injections. Every time, when :py:class:`Callable` is called, positional and keyword argument injections would be passed as an callable arguments. Such behaviour is very similar to the standard Python ``functools.partial`` object, except of one thing: all injectable values are provided *"as is"*, except of providers (subclasses of :py:class:`Provider`). Providers will be called every time, when injection needs to be done. For example, if injectable value of injection is a :py:class:`Factory`, it will provide new one instance (as a result of its call) every time, when injection needs to be done. :py:class:`Callable` behaviour with context positional and keyword arguments is very like a standard Python ``functools.partial``: - Positional context arguments will be appended after :py:class:`Callable` positional injections. - Keyword context arguments have priority on :py:class:`Callable` keyword injections and will be merged over them. Example that shows usage of :py:class:`Callable` with positional argument injections: .. literalinclude:: ../../examples/providers/callable_args.py :language: python Next one example shows usage of :py:class:`Callable` with keyword argument injections: .. image:: /images/providers/callable.png :width: 100% :align: center .. literalinclude:: ../../examples/providers/callable_kwargs.py :language: python Callable providers delegation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :py:class:`Callable` provider could be delegated to any other provider via any kind of injection. Delegation of :py:class:`Callable` providers is the same as :py:class:`Factory` and :py:class:`Singleton` providers delegation, please follow *Factory providers delegation* section for example. :py:class:`Callable` delegate could be created obviously using ``Delegate(Callable(...))`` or by calling ``Callable(...).delegate()`` method.
