const mixinafIoc::Registry

Autobuilds an instance of the given type, resolving all dependencies:

• create instance via ctor marked with @Inject or the ctor with the most parameters
• inject dependencies into fields (of all visibilities) marked with @Inject
• call any methods annotated with @PostInjection

ctorArgs (if provided) will be passed as arguments to the first parameters in the autobuild ctor. Handy when you wish the ctor to take a mixture of plain objects and services. e.g. for a fwt::Command:

registry.autobuild(MySaveCommand#, [entityToSave])
...
class MySaveCommand {
  @Inject
  private EntityDao entityDao
  
  private Entity entity

  new make(Entity entity, OtherService service, |This| injectInto) {
    injectInto(this)       // ioc to inject all fields
    service.doSomething    // this service is only used here, so doesn't need to be a field 
    entityDao.save(entity) // use the field service and passed in entity 
  }
}

Note: the passed in parameters must be first in the ctor parameter list.

Impl note: A list is used rather than splats so nulls can be passed in.

fieldVals set (and potentially overwrite) the value of any const fields set by an it-block function.

Calls the method, dependency injecting the parameters. instance can be null if calling a static method.

The optional providedMethodArgs are used as method arguments. Any args not provided are dependency injected; unless they have a default argument, in which case nothing is passed in and the default is used.

@since 1.5.0

A companion method to autobuild. Creates an instance of the given mixin, which creates the real instance whenever a mixin method is invoked.

If implType is null then it is assumed to have the same name as the mixin, plus a Impl suffix. @since 1.5.0

Locates a dependency of the given type.

Injects services and dependencies into fields (of all visibilities) marked with @Inject.

Returns the object passed in for method chaining.

Note usage of this method is discouraged, it is far better practice for the creator to call autobuild instead.

Obtains a service via its unique service id.

Shuts down the Registry. Notifies all listeners that the registry has shutdown. Further method invocations on the Registry are no longer allowed, and the Registry instance should be discarded.
