README
kotlin-guice
Guice extensions for Kotlin. This provides extension wrappers and extension methods for providing a better Guice DSL experience from Kotlin. It takes advantage of reified types to reduce class references like bind(MyResource::class.java)
to bind<MyResource>()
.
Download
Download the latest JAR via Maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>dev.misfitlabs.kotlinguice4</groupId>
<artifactId>kotlin-guice</artifactId>
<version>1.5.0</version>
</dependency>
or Gradle:
compile 'dev.misfitlabs.kotlinguice4:kotlin-guice:1.5.0'
Getting Started
KotlinModule
Use KotlinModule
for Guice modules instead of AbstractModule
to take advantage of the enhanced Kotlin Guice DSL.
import dev.misfitlabs.kotlinguice4.KotlinModule
class MyModule : KotlinModule() {
override fun configure() {
bind<Service>().to<ServiceImpl>().`in`<Singleton>()
bind<PaymentService<CreditCard>>().to<CreditCardPaymentService>()
bind<CreditCardProcessor>().annotatedWith<PayPal>().to<PayPalCreditCardProcessor>()
}
}
The KotlinPrivateModule
can also be used if only some bindings need to be exposed.
import dev.misfitlabs.kotlinguice4.KotlinPrivateModule
class MyPrivateModule : KotlinPrivateModule() {
override fun configure() {
bind<Service>().to<ServiceImpl>().`in`<Singleton>()
bind<PaymentService<CreditCard>>().to<CreditCardPaymentService>()
bind<CreditCardProcessor>().annotatedWith<PayPal>().to<PayPalCreditCardProcessor>()
expose<PaymentService<CreditCard>>()
}
}
Injector
The Guice injector has been enhanced with extension methods to make direct use of the injector better from Kotlin.
import dev.misfitlabs.kotlinguice4.annotatedKey
import dev.misfitlabs.kotlinguice4.getInstance
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
val injector = Guice.createInjector(MyModule(), MyPrivateModule())
val paymentService = injector.getInstance<PaymentService<CreditCard>>()
// Use the annotatedKey to get an annotated instance
val payPalProcessor = injector.getInstance(annotatedKey<CreditCardProcessor, PayPayl>())
}
Key and TypeLiteral
Package level functions are included to enhance creating Key
and TypeLiteral
instances from kotlin.
import dev.misfitlabs.kotlinguice4.annotatedKey
import dev.misfitlabs.kotlinguice4.key
import dev.misfitlabs.kotlinguice4.typeLiteral
val key = key<String>()
val annotatedKey = annotatedKey<String, SomeAnnotation>()
val sameAnnotatedDifferentKey = annotatedKey.getType<Long>()
val listType = typeLiteral<PaymentService<CreditCrd>>()
Multibindings
As of version 1.4.1 the kotlin-guice-multibindings module is gone and the functionality has been merged into kotlin-guice.
Usage
val multibinder = KotlinMultibinder.newSetBinder<Snack>(kotlinBinder)
multibinder.addBinding().to<Twix>()
val mapbinder = KotlinMapBinder.newMapBinder<String, Snack>(kotlinBinder)
mapbinder.addBinding("twix").to<Twix>()
With Guice 4.2+, scanning for methods with the multibinding annotations ProvidesIntoSet
, ProvidesIntoMap
, and ProvidesIntoOptional
is enabled by default. However, the default scanner only provides bindings for Java collection types. In order to get bindings for Kotlin collection types, install the KotlinMultibindingsScanner
.
install(KotlinMultibindingsScanner.asModule())
