Simple, type-safe dependency injection in idiomatic Python, inspired by FastAPI.

Injecting dependencies

from injected import depends, resolver


def get_a() -> int:
    return 13


def get_b() -> int:
    return 17


@resolver
def get_sum(
    a: int = depends(get_a),
    b: int = depends(get_b),
) -> int:
    return a + b


def test_resolves_dependencies():
    assert get_sum() == 30

Seeding the context of a resolver

It's sometimes useful to be able to provide an already resolved value, making it available throughout the dependency graph. The canonical example of this is how FastAPI makes things like requests and headers available to all dependencies.

To use this pattern, you specify a sentinel function, get_global_value in the example below, and then map it to a resolved value in a context passed to seed_context().

from injected import depends, resolver, seed_context


def get_global_value() -> int:
    ...


@resolver
def calculate_value(a: int = depends(get_global_value)) -> int:
    return a + 13


seeded = seed_context(calculate_value, {get_global_value: 31})


def test_can_seed_resolver_context():
    assert seeded() == 44

Async dependencies

The @resolver decorator works with both async and non-async functions, with the restriction that async dependencies can only be used with an async resolver. An async resolver however, can resolve both async and vanilla dependencies.

import asyncio
from injected import depends, resolver


async def get_a() -> int:
    return 13


def get_b() -> int:
    return 17


@resolver
async def get_sum(
    a: int = depends(get_a),
    b: int = depends(get_b),
) -> int:
    return a + b


def test_resolves_dependencies():
    assert asyncio.run(get_sum()) == 30

injected's Issues

Investigate using standard library TopologicalSorter

https://docs.python.org/3/library/graphlib.html

Async dependencies should be resolved concurrently

This might be easier to achieve in conjunction with #10.

Eliminate redundant evaluation for explicitly passed argument
