const mixinafIoc::Registry

Returns the current active scope.

Returns the global default scope. This is the default scope used in any new thread and defaults to the root scope.

For normal IoC usage, consider using activeScope() instead.

Returns the global Registry instance for this application. A global Registry lets class instances create / inject themselves; handy for when the IoC Container is not accessible

class MyClass {
    @Inject MyService myService

    // private it-block ctor for IoC instantiation
    private new makeViaItBlock(|This| f) { f(this) }

    // public static ctor that creates itself via the global Registry 
    static new make() {
        Registry.getGlobal.activeScope.build(MyClass#)
    }
}

Now when you create an instance of MyClass it comes fully loaded with injected services. Just don't forget to set a global Registry instance first.

registry := RegistryBuilder() { .... }.build
registry.setAsGlobal

...

// myClass now comes fully loaded with injected services
myClass := MyClass()

See setAsGlobal.

Returns the Alien-Factory ASCII art banner. This is logged to standard out at registry startup. Remove the startup contribution to prevent the logging:

regBuilder.onRegistryStartup() |Configuration config| {
    config.remove("afIoc.logBanner")
}

Returns a pretty printed list of service definitions. This is logged to standard out at registry startup. Remove the startup contribution to prevent the logging:

regBuilder.onRegistryStartup() |Configuration config| {
    config.remove("afIoc.logServices")
}

Returns the root scope.

For normal IoC usage, consider using activeScope() instead.

Returns a map of all defined scopes, keyed by scope ID.

Returns a map of all defined services, keyed by service ID.

Advanced use only.

Sets the given scope as the active scope in this thread. Call Scope.destroy() to pop this scope off the active stack, or pass null to this method to clear the active stack.

Sets the global Registry instance. (In essence, this just sets a static field to this Registry instance.)

To make sure the JVM is only running the one IoC container, this method throws an Err if the global instance has already been set.

See getGlobal

Advanced use only.

Sets a new global default scope and returns the old one. Only non-threaded scopes may be set as the global default.

Destroys all active scopes and shuts down the registry.
