Aedi, a dependency injection library.

Aedi is a dependency injection library. It does provide a set of containers that do IoC, and an interface to configure application components (structs, objects, etc.)

Aim: The aim of library is to provide a dependency injection solution that is feature rich, easy to use, easy to learn, and easy to extend up to your needs.

Usage: The process of configuring components using Aedi consists of following steps:

• Create a container
• Register an application component. Any data (struct, object, union, etc) is treated as application component.
• Write a wiring configuration
• Repeat process for other components.
• Boot container

First of all a container should be created:

SingletonContainer container = new SingletonContainer;

Container is responsible for storing, and managing application's components.

Next, register component into container:

container.register!Color

Component is registered by calling .register method on container with type of component. Note, that in example we do not end the statement. That's because component should be configured next:

.set!"r"(cast(ubyte) 250)
.set!"g"(cast(ubyte) 210)
.set!"b"(cast(ubyte) 255);

.set method configures component properties to specific values (setter injection in other words). Note the example ends in ; which means that it's end of statement and Color registration/configuration. Once components are registered and configured, container needs to be booted (instantiated):

container.instantiate();

Container during boot operation, will do various stuff, including creation and wiring of components between them. It's important to call container.instantiate() after all application's components have been registered into container, otherwise it is not guaranteed that application will work correctly.

Once container is booted, components in it are available for use. To fetch it use locate method like in following example:

container.locate!Color.print;

Try running the example, the output of example will be the Color that was registered in container.

Color is:	Color(250, 210, 255)
