Setters injection

Instead of using by inject() lazy delegate expression to retrieve desired dependency, you can inject the property directly

note

This feature is experimental

Injecting a property

Let's take a class that need some property injection:

class B
class C
class A {
lateinit var b: B
lateinit var c: C
}

You can inject your properties with inject extension like follow:

val a : A = A()
// inject properties
a::b.inject()
a::c.inject()
info

  • inject() on a property is not using any reflection API

  • For any special injection (like ViewModel for Android ...), use manual injection like a.b = getViewModel(...)

Injecting all properties [reflect API]

Another way to inject all your dependencies, is to use inject from your instance:

val a : A = A()
// inject all properties
a.inject(a::b, a::c)
note

This T.inject(...) function is using reflection to guess your properties types here
