  afIoc::Inject : sys::Facet

@Js
@Serializable

Use in classes to denote a field that should be dependency injected.

It is the intention that @Inject be (re)used as a general purpose facet by many dependency providers in IoC and by custom libraries. Hence support for the attributes id, type, and optional is entirely dependent on the individual dependency provider.

Core IoC dependency providers use the @Inject facet to:

inject IoC services
inject Log instances
mark ctors to use for autobuilding / service creation.

id

Source

const Str? id := null

When injecting services, id denotes the qualified ID of the service to inject. (optional)

When injecting Log instances, id denotes the log name. (optional)

optional

Source

const Bool optional := false

If true and the dependency / service does not exist then injection should fail silently without causing an Err.

type

Source

const Type? type := null

When injecting services, type is used to look up the service - which may be different (or more specific) than the field type. (optional)
