Software Dependency Injection Pattern

A Software Dependency Injection Pattern is a software design pattern that implements Software Dependency Injection Inversion of Control for managing software dependency injection object dependencys.

• AKA: DI Pattern, Inversion of Control Pattern, IoC Pattern.
• Context:
  • It can typically provide Software Dependency Injection Dependencys to software dependency injection clients without software dependency injection direct instantiation.
  • It can typically enable Software Dependency Injection Test Double Injection through software dependency injection abstractions.
  • It can typically manage Software Dependency Injection Object Lifecycles via software dependency injection containers.
  • It can typically support Software Dependency Injection Configuration Flexibility through software dependency injection bindings.
  • It can typically enforce Software Dependency Injection Contract Compliance via software dependency injection interfaces.
  • ...
  • It can often facilitate Software Dependency Injection Circular Dependency Detection in software dependency injection object graphs.
  • It can often enable Software Dependency Injection Scope Management for software dependency injection instance sharing.
  • It can often support Software Dependency Injection Lazy Loading through software dependency injection proxys.
  • It can often implement Software Dependency Injection Decorator Patterns for software dependency injection behavior extension.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Manual Software Dependency Injection Pattern to being a Container-Based Software Dependency Injection Pattern, depending on its software dependency injection automation level.
  • It can range from being a Compile-Time Software Dependency Injection Pattern to being a Runtime Software Dependency Injection Pattern, depending on its software dependency injection resolution timing.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Software Unit Testing Frameworks for software dependency injection test isolation.
  • It can support Software SOLID Principles through software dependency injection loose coupling.
  • It can enable Software Clean Architecture Pattern via software dependency injection boundary enforcement.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Software Dependency Injection Types, such as:
    • Software Dependency Injection Constructor Injection passing software dependency injection dependencys through software dependency injection constructor parameters.
    • Software Dependency Injection Property Injection using software dependency injection setter methods.
    • Software Dependency Injection Method Injection providing software dependency injection dependencys as software dependency injection method parameters.
  • Software Dependency Injection Containers, such as:
    • Spring Framework Dependency Injection Container providing software dependency injection annotation-based configuration by Pivotal Software.
    • Google Guice Dependency Injection Container using software dependency injection programmatic bindings by Google.
    • Microsoft Unity Dependency Injection Container implementing software dependency injection .NET integration by Microsoft.
  • Software Dependency Injection Configurations, such as:
    • Software Dependency Injection XML Configuration defining software dependency injection wiring in software dependency injection configuration files.
    • Software Dependency Injection Annotation Configuration using software dependency injection metadata on software dependency injection classes.
    • Software Dependency Injection Code Configuration specifying software dependency injection bindings through software dependency injection fluent APIs.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Software Service Locator Pattern, which uses software service locator central registry for software service locator dependency lookup.
  • Software Factory Pattern, which creates software factory object instances through software factory creation methods.
  • Software Object Pool Pattern, which manages software object pool reusable instances rather than software dependency injection new instances.
