Tiny Python Dependency Injection Container.

Why TinyDIC?

I was looking for a Dependency Injection Container in Python, googled a bit, but only found solutions which were huge and use constructs -- such as decorators and so on -- which I'm not so fond of, or at least don't find a good justification for their use, for such a simple and small thing as an DIC.

So, inspired (or copying) the PHP Twittee IoC written by Fabien Potencier of Symfony fame, I wrote this small class.

Although this is inspired by Twittee, it doesn't fit in 140 chars, so I could not call it that. But thankfully, Fabien Potencier has another more full fledged IoC, called Pimple, and that's where I stole the name from. Just made it Py instead of Pi because .. err you know... it's Python.

Last, but not least, I've had lots of help on StackOverflow reviews ... to setup this -- thank you so much!

Last but not least, I've to say that this is a very tiny thing meant for small personal projects so I don't recommend production use. For something more proper and mature I recommend you check Pymple

Installation

pip install tinydic

Usage

from tinydic import Container


class MailService:

    def __init__(self, user, password, server):
        self.user = user
        self.password = password
        self.server = server

    def send_mail(self, to, subject, contents):
        # uses stored settings to send email
        pass


def email_validator_service(container):
    def functor(email):
        return container.MAIL_REGEX.match(email)
    return functor


class MailClient:

    def __init__(self, mail_service, validate_email):
        self.mail_service = mail_service
        self.validate_email = validate_email

    def send_mail(self, to, message):
        if self.validate_email(to):
            self.mail_service.send_mail(a, b)

# create container
container = Container()

# register constants / params
container.MAIL_REGEX = 'ugly long regex here'
container.username = 'spam' # container.register('username', 'spam', constant = True)
container.password = 'eggs'
container.server = 'foo.bar.com'

# register objects / services
container.mail_service = lambda c: MailService(c.username, c.password, c.server))
# container.register('mail_service', lambda c: MailService(c.username, c.password, c.server), False)
container.email_validator = email_validator_service
container.client = lambda c: MailClient(c.mail_service, c.email_validator)

container.client.send_mail('eggs@foo.bar.com', 'yo')
