Protoinject

A hierarchical dependency injection system

Protoinject is a hierarchical dependency injection system. Unlike conventional dependency injection libraries which only concern themselves with the resolution of services, Protoinject manages the lifecycle of services and associated them into a hierarchy of objects.

This model allows Protoinject to seperate planning, verification and resolution of dependencies, allowing for many new scenarios such as:

• Caching the planning results from the startup of your application, resulting in faster startup times.
• Validating that all dependencies can be satisified before any objects are created, ensuring no side-effects occur if a request can not be satisified.
• Creating custom plans from external sources, such as game levels. This allows you to verify that all objects in a scene have their dependencies satisified.
• Navigating and querying the hierarchy at runtime, which maps extremely well to entity-component systems.

Getting Started

Protoinject is commonly used within Protogame. If you're already using Protogame, then you don't need to manually install this library; it is already available to you.

If you are not using Protogame, or you want to use Protoinject for general application purposes, you can install Protoinject into your project using Protobuild, like so:

Protobuild.exe --install https://protobuild.org/hach-que/Protoinject

Then reference Protoinject from your project, like so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project Name="MyProject" Path="MyProject" Type="Console">
  <References>
    <Reference Include="System" />
    <Reference Include="System.Core" />
    <Reference Include="Protoinject" />
  </References>
  <Files>
    <!-- ... -->
  </Files>
</Project>

An example project is provided in the repository.
