"That Depends"

Dependency injection framework for Python inspired by dependency-injector.

It is production-ready and gives you the following:

Simple async-first DI framework with IOC-container.
Python 3.10-3.12 support.
Full coverage by types annotations (mypy in strict mode).
FastAPI and LiteStar compatibility.
Overriding dependencies for tests.
Injecting dependencies in functions and coroutines without wiring.
Package with zero dependencies.

Quickstart

Install

pip install that-depends

Describe resources and classes:

import dataclasses
import logging
import typing


logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)


# singleton provider with finalization
def create_sync_resource() -> typing.Iterator[str]:
    logger.debug("Resource initiated")
    try:
        yield "sync resource"
    finally:
        logger.debug("Resource destructed")


# same, but async
async def create_async_resource() -> typing.AsyncIterator[str]:
    logger.debug("Async resource initiated")
    try:
        yield "async resource"
    finally:
        logger.debug("Async resource destructed")


@dataclasses.dataclass(kw_only=True, slots=True)
class DependentFactory:
    sync_resource: str
    async_resource: str

Describe IoC-container

from that_depends import BaseContainer, providers


class DIContainer(BaseContainer):
    sync_resource = providers.Resource(create_sync_resource)
    async_resource = providers.Resource(create_async_resource)

    simple_factory = providers.Factory(SimpleFactory, dep1="text", dep2=123)
    dependent_factory = providers.Factory(
        sync_resource=sync_resource,
        async_resource=async_resource,
    )

Resolve dependencies in your code

# async resolving by default:
await DIContainer.simple_factory()

# sync resolving is also allowed if there is no uninitialized async resources in dependencies
DIContainer.simple_factory.sync_resolve()

# otherwise you can initialize resources beforehand one by one or in one call:
await DIContainer.init_resources()

Resolve dependencies not described in container

@dataclasses.dataclass(kw_only=True, slots=True)
class FreeFactory:
    dependent_factory: DependentFactory
    sync_resource: str

# this way container will try to find providers by names and resolve them to build FreeFactory instance
free_factory_instance = await DIContainer.resolve(FreeFactory)

Inject providers in function arguments

import datetime

from that_depends import inject, Provide

from tests import container


@inject
async def some_coroutine(
    simple_factory: container.SimpleFactory = Provide[container.DIContainer.simple_factory],
    dependent_factory: container.DependentFactory = Provide[container.DIContainer.dependent_factory],
    default_zero: int = 0,
) -> None:
    assert simple_factory.dep1
    assert isinstance(dependent_factory.async_resource, datetime.datetime)
    assert default_zero == 0

@inject
def some_function(
    simple_factory: container.SimpleFactory = Provide[container.DIContainer.simple_factory],
    default_zero: int = 0,
) -> None:
    assert simple_factory.dep1
    assert default_zero == 0
