# Dependency Injection
Dependency injection library for JavaScript and TypeScript in **5.2K**. It is an extraction of the Angular's dependency injection which means that it's feature complete, fast, reliable and well tested.
# Why not Angular version 5 and above?
Angular version 5 deprecated the `ReflectiveInjector` API and introduced `StaticInjector`. In short, the dependency injection in the newest versions of Angular will happen entirely compile-time so reflection will not be necessary.
However, if you want to use dependency injection in your Node.js, Vue, React, Vanilla JS, TypeScript, etc. application you won't be able to take advantage of `StaticInjector` the way that Angular will because your application won't be compatible with Angular compiler.
This means that **if you need dependency injection outside of Angular `@angular/core` is not an option. In such case, use `injection-js` for fast, small, reliable, high-quality, well designed and well tested solution.**
# How to use?
```sh
$ npm i injection-js
# OR
$ yarn add injection-js
```
> **Note:**
>
> For ES5 `Class` syntax and TypeScript you need a polyfill for the [Reflect API](http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/#sec-reflection).
> You can use:
>
> - [reflection](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@abraham/reflection) (only 3kb 🔥)
> - [reflect-metadata](https://www.npmjs.com/package/reflect-metadata)
> - [core-js (`core-js/es7/reflect`)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/core-js)
>
> Also for TypeScript you will need to enable `experimentalDecorators` and `emitDecoratorMetadata` flags within your `tsconfig.json`
## TypeScript
```ts
import 'reflect-metadata';
import { ReflectiveInjector, Injectable, Injector } from 'injection-js';
class Http {}
@Injectable()
class Service {
constructor(private http: Http) {}
}
@Injectable()
class Service2 {
constructor(private injector: Injector) {}
getService(): void {
console.log(this.injector.get(Service) instanceof Service);
}
createChildInjector(): void {
const childInjector = ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate([Service], this.injector);
}
}
const injector = ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate([Service, Http]);
console.log(injector.get(Service) instanceof Service);
```
## ES6
```js
const { Inject, ReflectiveInjector } = require('injection-js');
class Http {}
class Service {
static get parameters() {
return [new Inject(Http)];
}
constructor(http) {
this.http = http;
}
}
const injector = ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate([Http, Service]);
console.log(injector.get(Service) instanceof Service);
```
## ES5
```js
require('reflect-metadata');
var di = require('injection-js');
var Http = di.Class({
constructor: function() {},
});
var Service = di.Class({
constructor: [
Http,
function(http) {
this.http = http;
},
],
});
var injector = di.ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate([Http, Service]);
console.log(injector.get(Service) instanceof Service);
```

# Ecosystem
This is a list of libraries that are using injection-js. If you have a suggestion on what to add, please don't hesitate to submit a PR.
## Libraries
- [ng-packagr](https://github.com/ng-packagr/ng-packagr) Transpile your libraries to Angular Package Format. Part of the official Angular CLI.
- [@martin_hotell/axios-http](https://github.com/Hotell/axios-http) Injectable axios HttpClient wrapper for browser and node
- [@martin_hotell/rea-di](https://github.com/Hotell/rea-di) Dependency injection for React done right. Hierarchical injection on both component and service layer powered by injection-js (Angular DI framework) 🖖
- [rxstack](https://github.com/rxstack/rxstack) RxStack is a realtime object-oriented framework which helps you build a micro service web applications on top of other frameworks like express and socketio by adding an abstraction layer.
- [ServeRX-ts](https://github.com/mflorence99/serverx-ts) Experimental [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) HTTP framework using [RxJS](https://rxjs.dev), built with [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) and optimized for serverless deployments. Features declarative routes and dependency injection powered by injection-js.
