awilix-manager

NPM Version Build Status Coverage Status

Wrapper over awilix to support more complex use-cases

Getting started

First install the package:

npm i awilix-manager

Next, set up your DI configuration:

import { AwilixManager } from 'awilix-manager'
import { asClass, createContainer } from 'awilix'

class AsyncClass {
  async init() {
    // init logic
  }

  async dispose() {
    // dispose logic
  }
}

const diContainer = createContainer({
  injectionMode: 'PROXY',
})

diContainer.register(
  'dependency1',
  asClass(AsyncClass, {
    lifetime: 'SINGLETON',
    asyncInitPriority: 10, // lower value means its initted earlier
    asyncDisposePriority: 10, // lower value means its disposed earlier
    asyncInit: 'init',
    asyncDispose: 'dispose',
    eagerInject: true, // this will be constructed and cached immediately. Redundant for resolves with `asyncInit` parameter set, as that is always resolved eagerly. If a string is passed, then additional synchronous method will be invoked in addition to constructor on injection.
  }),
)

const awilixManager = new AwilixManager({
  diContainer,
  asyncInit: true,
  asyncDispose: true,
  strictBooleanEnforced: true,  
})
await awilixManager.executeInit() // this will execute eagerInject and asyncInit
await awilixManager.executeDispose() // this will execute asyncDispose

Disabling eager injection conditionally

In some cases you may want to prevent eager injection and async disposal of some of your dependencies - e. g. when you want to disable all of your background jobs or message consumers in some of your integration tests. You can use enabled resolver parameter for that:

import { AwilixManager } from 'awilix-manager'
import { asClass, createContainer } from 'awilix'

class QueueConsumerClass {
  async consume() {
    // consumer registration logic
  }

  async destroy() {
    // dispose logic
  }
}

const diContainer = createContainer({
  injectionMode: 'PROXY',
})

const isAMQPEnabled = false // disable consumers, e. g. for tests

diContainer.register(
  'dependency1',
  asClass(QueueConsumerClass, {
    lifetime: 'SINGLETON',
    asyncInitPriority: 10, // lower value means its initted earlier
    asyncDisposePriority: 10, // lower value means its disposed earlier
    asyncInit: 'consume',
    asyncDispose: 'destroy',
    enabled: isAMQPEnabled, // default is true
  }),
)

const awilixManager = new AwilixManager({
  diContainer,
  asyncInit: true,
  asyncDispose: true,
  strictBooleanEnforced: true,    
})
await awilixManager.executeInit() // this will not execute asyncInit, because consumer is disabled
await awilixManager.executeDispose() // this will not execute asyncDispose, because consumer is disabled

Note that passing undefined or null as a value for the enabled parameter counts as a default, which is true. That may lead to hard-to-debug errors, as it may be erroneously assumed that passing falsy value should equal to passing false. In order to prevent this, it is recommended to set strictBooleanEnforced flag to true, which would throw an error if a non-boolean value is explicitly set to the enabled field. In future semver major release this will become a default behaviour.

Fetching dependencies based on tags

In some cases you may want to get dependencies based on a supplied list of tags. You can use tags parameter in conjunction with the getWithTags method for that:

import { AwilixManager } from 'awilix-manager'
import { asClass, createContainer } from 'awilix'

const diContainer = createContainer({
  injectionMode: 'PROXY',
})

class QueueConsumerHighPriorityClass {
}

class QueueConsumerLowPriorityClass {
}

diContainer.register(
  'dependency1',
  asClass(QueueConsumerHighPriorityClass, {
    lifetime: 'SINGLETON',
    asyncInit: true,
    tags: ['queue', 'high-priority'],
  }),
)
diContainer.register(
  'dependency2',
  asClass(QueueConsumerLowPriorityClass, {
    lifetime: 'SINGLETON',
    asyncInit: true,
    tags: ['queue', 'low-priority'],
  }),
)

const awilixManager = new AwilixManager({
  diContainer,
  asyncInit: true,
  asyncDispose: true,
})

// This will return a record with dependency1 and dependency2
const result1 = awilixManager.getWithTags(diContainer, ['queue'])
// This will return a record with only dependency2
const result2 = awilixManager.getWithTags(diContainer, ['queue', 'low-priority'])

Fetching dependencies based on a predicate

In some cases you may want to get dependencies based on whether they satisfy some condition. You can use getByPredicate method for that:

import { AwilixManager } from 'awilix-manager'
import { asClass, createContainer } from 'awilix'

const diContainer = createContainer({
  injectionMode: 'PROXY',
})

class QueueConsumerHighPriorityClass {
}

class QueueConsumerLowPriorityClass {
}

diContainer.register(
  'dependency1',
  asClass(QueueConsumerHighPriorityClass, {
    lifetime: 'SINGLETON',
    asyncInit: true,
  }),
)
diContainer.register(
  'dependency2',
  asClass(QueueConsumerLowPriorityClass, {
    lifetime: 'SINGLETON',
    asyncInit: true,
  }),
)

const awilixManager = new AwilixManager({
  diContainer,
  asyncInit: true,
  asyncDispose: true,
})

// This will return a record with dependency1
const result1 = awilixManager.getByPredicate((entry) => entry instanceof QueueConsumerHighPriorityClass)
// This will return a record with dependency2
const result2 = awilixManager.getByPredicate((entry) => entry instanceof QueueConsumerLowPriorityClass))

Note that this will resolve all non-disabled dependencies within the container, even the ones without eager injection enabled.

Mocking dependencies

Sometimes you may want to intentionally inject objects that do not fully conform to the type definition of an original class. For that you can use asMockClass, asMockFunction or asMockValue resolvers:

type DiContainerType = {
    realClass: RealClass
    realClass2: RealClass
}
const diConfiguration: NameAndRegistrationPair<DiContainerType> = {
    realClass: asClass(RealClass),
    realClass2: asMockClass(FakeClass),
}

const diContainer = createContainer<DiContainerType>({
    injectionMode: 'PROXY',
})

for (const [dependencyKey, dependencyValue] of Object.entries(diConfiguration)) {
    diContainer.register(dependencyKey, dependencyValue as Resolver<unknown>)
}

const { realClass, realClass2 } = diContainer.cradle
expect(realClass).toBeInstanceOf(RealClass)
expect(realClass2).toBeInstanceOf(FakeClass)
