Dependency Injector - Dependency injection microframework for Python
|
|
====================================================================
|
|
|
|
*Dependency Injector* is a dependency injection microframework for Python.
|
|
It was designed to be unified, developer-friendly tool that helps to implement
|
|
dependency injection pattern in formal, pretty, Pythonic way.
|
|
|
|
*Dependency Injector* framework key features are:
|
|
|
|
+ Easy, smart, pythonic style.
|
|
+ Obvious, clear structure.
|
|
+ Extensibility and flexibility.
|
|
+ High performance.
|
|
+ Memory efficiency.
|
|
+ Thread safety.
|
|
+ Documentation.
|
|
+ Semantic versioning.
|
|
|
|
*Dependency Injector* providers are implemented as C extension types using
|
|
Cython.

Dependency injection
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
`Dependency injection`_ is a software design pattern that implements
|
|
`Inversion of control`_ for resolving dependencies. Formally, if object **A**
|
|
depends on object **B**, object **A** must not create or import object **B**
|
|
directly. Instead of this object **A** must provide a way for *injecting*
|
|
object **B**. The responsibilities of objects creation and dependencies
|
|
injection are delegated to external code - the *dependency injector*.
|
|
|
|
Popular terminology of dependency injection pattern:
|
|
|
|
+ Object **A**, that is dependant on object **B**, is often called -
|
|
the *client*.
|
|
+ Object **B**, that is a dependency, is often called - the *service*.
|
|
+ External code that is responsible for creation of objects and injection
|
|
of dependencies is often called - the *dependency injector*.
|
|
|
|
There are several ways of how *service* can be injected into the *client*:
|
|
|
|
+ by passing it as ``__init__`` argument (constructor / initializer injection)
|
|
+ by setting it as attribute's value (attribute injection)
|
|
+ by passing it as method's argument (method injection)
|
|
|
|
Dependency injection pattern has few strict rules that should be followed:
|
|
|
|
+ The *client* delegates to the *dependency injector* the responsibility
|
|
of injecting its dependencies - the *service(s)*.
|
|
+ The *client* doesn't know how to create the *service*, it knows only
|
|
interface of the *service*. The *service* doesn't know that it is used by
|
|
the *client*.
|
|
+ The *dependency injector* knows how to create the *client* and
|
|
the *service*, it also knows that the *client* depends on the *service*,
|
|
and knows how to inject the *service* into the *client*.
|
|
+ The *client* and the *service* know nothing about the *dependency injector*.
|
|
|
|
Dependency injection pattern provides the following advantages:
|
|
|
|
+ Control on application structure.
|
|
+ Decreased coupling between application components.
|
|
+ Increased code reusability.
|
|
+ Increased testability.
|
|
+ Increased maintainability.
|
|
+ Reconfiguration of system without rebuilding.

Example of dependency injection
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Brief example below demonstrates usage of *Dependency Injector* for creating
|
|
several IoC containers for some example application:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
"""Example of dependency injection in Python."""
|
|
|
|
import logging
|
|
import sqlite3
|
|
|
|
import boto.s3.connection
|
|
|
|
import example.main
|
|
import example.services
|
|
|
|
import dependency_injector.containers as containers
|
|
import dependency_injector.providers as providers
|
|
|
|
|
|
class Core(containers.DeclarativeContainer):
|
|
"""IoC container of core component providers."""
|
|
|
|
configuration = providers.Configuration('config')
|
|
|
|
logger = providers.Singleton(logging.Logger, name='example')
|
|
|
|
|
|
class Gateways(containers.DeclarativeContainer):
|
|
"""IoC container of gateway (API clients to remote services) providers."""
|
|
|
|
database = providers.Singleton(sqlite3.connect,
|
|
Core.configuration.database.dsn)
|
|
|
|
s3 = providers.Singleton(boto.s3.connection.S3Connection,
|
|
Core.configuration.aws.access_key_id,
|
|
Core.configuration.aws.secret_access_key)
|
|
|
|
|
|
class Services(containers.DeclarativeContainer):
|
|
"""IoC container of business service providers."""
|
|
|
|
users = providers.Factory(example.services.UsersService,
|
|
db=Gateways.database,
|
|
logger=Core.logger)
|
|
|
|
auth = providers.Factory(example.services.AuthService,
|
|
db=Gateways.database,
|
|
logger=Core.logger,
|
|
token_ttl=Core.configuration.auth.token_ttl)
|
|
|
|
photos = providers.Factory(example.services.PhotosService,
|
|
db=Gateways.database,
|
|
s3=Gateways.s3,
|
|
logger=Core.logger)
|
|
|
|
|
|
class Application(containers.DeclarativeContainer):
|
|
"""IoC container of application component providers."""
|
|
|
|
main = providers.Callable(example.main.main,
|
|
users_service=Services.users,
|
|
auth_service=Services.auth,
|
|
photos_service=Services.photos)
|
|
|
|
Next example demonstrates run of example application defined above:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
"""Run example application."""
|
|
|
|
import sys
|
|
import logging
|
|
|
|
from containers import Core, Application
|
|
|
|
|
|
if __name__ == '__main__':
|
|
# Configure platform:
|
|
Core.configuration.update({'database': {'dsn': ':memory:'},
|
|
'aws': {'access_key_id': 'KEY',
|
|
'secret_access_key': 'SECRET'},
|
|
'auth': {'token_ttl': 3600}})
|
|
Core.logger().addHandler(logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout))
|
|
|
|
# Run application:
|
|
Application.main(uid=sys.argv[1],
|
|
password=sys.argv[2],
|
|
photo=sys.argv[3])
