Google Guice (pronounced "juice") is an ultra-lightweight dependency
injection framework. Please refer to the Guice
User's Guide
for a gentle introduction.
The principal public APIs in this package are:
Inject
- The annotation you will use in your implementation classes to tell Guice
where and how it should send in ("inject") the objects you depend on
(your "dependencies").
Module
- The interface you will implement in order to specify "bindings" --
instructions for how Guice should handle injection -- for a particular
set of interfaces.
Binder
- The object that Guice passes into your
Module
to collect these bindings.
Provider
- The interface you will implement when you need to customize exactly how
Guice creates instances for a particular binding.
Interfaces
| Binder |
Collects configuration information (primarily bindings) which will be
used to create an Injector. |
| Binding<T> |
A mapping from a key (type and optional annotation) to the strategy for getting instances of the
type. |
| Injector |
Builds the graphs of objects that make up your application. |
| MembersInjector<T> |
Injects dependencies into the fields and methods on instances of type T. |
| Module |
A module contributes configuration information, typically interface
bindings, which will be used to create an Injector. |
| PrivateBinder |
Returns a binder whose configuration information is hidden from its environment by default. |
| Provider<T> |
An object capable of providing instances of type T. |
| Scope |
A scope is a level of visibility that instances provided by Guice may have. |
Classes
| AbstractModule |
A support class for Modules which reduces repetition and results in
a more readable configuration. |
| Guice |
The entry point to the Guice framework. |
| Key<T> |
Binding key consisting of an injection type and an optional annotation. |
| PrivateModule |
A module whose configuration information is hidden from its environment by default. |
| Scopes |
Built-in scope implementations. |
| TypeLiteral<T> |
Represents a generic type T. |
