KOtlin DEpendency INjection

===========================

**_KODEIN_** is a straightforward and yet very useful dependency retrieval container. it is effortless to use and configure.

**_KODEIN_** works on all Kotlin Multiplatform targets:

- JVM / Android.

- all Native platforms (iOS, macOS, Linux, Windows, WebAssembly).

- Javascript / WasmJs.

**_KODEIN_** allows you to:

- Lazily instantiate your dependencies when needed

- Stop caring about dependency initialization order

- Bind classes or interfaces to their instance or provider

- Debug your dependency bindings and recursions

**_KODEIN_** provides extensions to be integrable into:

- [Android](https://developer.android.com/)

- [Compose (Android / Desktop / Web)](https://kosi-libs.org/kodein/7.22/framework/compose.html)

- [Ktor](https://ktor.io/)

An example is always better than a thousand words:

```kotlin

val di = DI {

    bindProvider { RandomDice(0, 5) }

    bindSingleton { SqliteDS.open("path/to/file") }

}

class Controller(private di: DI) {

    private val ds: DataSource by di.instance()

}

```

**_KODEIN_** is a good choice because:

- It proposes a very simple and readable declarative DSL

- It is not subject to type erasure (as Java is)

- It integrates nicely with Android

- It proposes a very kotlin-esque idiomatic API

- It is fast and optimized (makes extensive use of `inline`)

Installation

---------

Kodein is available on Maven Central.

```kotlin

repositories {

    mavenCentral()

}

```

```kotlin

kotlin {

    sourceSets {

        commonMain {

            dependencies {

                implementation("org.kodein.di:kodein-di:{version}")

            }

        }

    }

}

```

**_KODEIN_** 7+ is the current major version, but documentation is available for previous versions.

**[Kodein documentation](https://kosi-libs.org/kodein/)**

[//]: # (> At [Collokia](https://www.collokia.com/) we use Kodein in all of our backend service infrastructure and all modules in those services are loosely coupled through injection with Kodein.)

[//]: # (> It allows us to have nice module independence, and to opt-out of injection during testing or build separate modules in support of testing.  )

[//]: # (> It is a key component and building block in our architecture.  )

[//]: # (> As we improved it, we found Kodein to be much more useful than Dagger2 as it simplified our code throughout.  )

[//]: # (> Kodein is in my view, much easier to understand, doesn't have that nasty ceremony, and has really nice debug messages.  )

[//]: # (> We are also working now on other projects where we are using Kodein as well.  )

[//]: # (> Kodein has been instrumental in moving our entire production application to Kotlin at [InSite Applications](https://insiteapplications.com). It uses standard Kotlin idioms and features for ultimate clarity and simplicity. It was clear to us from the beginning that Kodein would be our DI solution. Our devs love it so much that they've transitioned to using it in their personal apps, both Java and Kotlin!  )
