Writing of custom providers
---------------------------
.. currentmodule:: dependency_injector.providers
List of *Dependency Injector* providers could be widened with custom providers.
Below are some tips and recommendations that have to be met:
1. Every custom provider has to extend base provider class -
:py:class:`Provider`.
2. Custom provider's ``__init__()`` could be overridden, but parent's
initializer (:py:meth:`Provider.__init__`) has to be called.
3. Providing strategy has to be implemented in custom provider's
:py:meth:`Provider.__call__` method.
4. If custom provider is based on some standard providers, it is better to
use delegation of standard providers, then extending of them.
5. If custom provider defines any attributes, it is good to list them in
``__slots__`` attribute (as *Dependency Injector* does). It can save
some memory.
6. If custom provider deals with injections, it is strongly recommended
to be consistent with :py:class:`Factory`, :py:class:`Singleton` and
:py:class:`Callable` providers style.
