const mixinafIoc::DependencyProvider

A hook to provide custom dependency resolution and extend the capabilities of IoC.

Create an instance of your DependencyProvider and contribute it to the DependencyProviders (*) service.

@Contribute { serviceType=DependencyProviders# }
Void contributeDependencyProviders(Configuration config) {
    config["myProvider"] = MyProvider()
}

Note that canProvide() is called for all fields, not just those annotated with @Inject.

If your dependency provider re-uses the @Inject facet, then it should be ordered before the standard IoC service provider so it is queried first. The IoC service provider has an ID of afIoc.service:

@Contribute { serviceType=DependencyProviders# }
Void contributeDependencyProviders(Configuration config) {
    config.set("myProvider", MyProvider()).before("afIoc.service")
}

(*) The DependencyProviders service is annotated with @NoDoc and is not listed in the API. This is because it's only used as a configuration point, so it's not very interesting!
