About

-----

Factory is a very simple dependency injection container for Objective-C.

It can assemble objects graphs for you so that you don’t have to mess with

the dependency management yourself:

    [factory addComponent:[Engine class]];

    [factory addComponent:[Car class]];

    Car *car = [factory assemble:[Car class]];

    STAssertNotNil(car.engine, @"Engine automatically built in.");

For more examples see the [Tests].

[Tests]: http://github.com/zoul/Factory/tree/master/Demo/Tests/

Notes

-----

* Lazy-wired properties would be interesting

* Instance sealing to prevent changing deps after assembling?

* Detect dependency loops
