Container

Provides dependency registration and resolution.

This is the main entrypoint of the Punq library. In normal scenarios users will only need to interact with this class.

        Each registration in Punq has a "service", which is the key used for
        resolving dependencies, and either an "instance" that implements the
        service or a "factory" that understands how to create an instance on
        demand.

        Examples:
            If we have an object that is expensive to construct, or that
            wraps a resouce that must not be shared, we might choose to
            use a singleton instance.

            >>> import sqlalchemy
            >>> from punq import Container
            >>> container = Container()

            >>> class DataAccessLayer:
            ...     pass

            ...     DataAccessLayer,
            ...     instance=dal
            ... )
            <punq.Container object at 0x...>
            >>> assert container.resolve(DataAccessLayer) is dal

            If we need to register a dependency, but we don't need to
            abstract it, we can register it as concrete.

            >>> class FileReader:
            ...     def read (self):
            ...         # Assorted legerdemain and rigmarole
            ...         pass
            ...
            >>> container.register(FileReader)
            <punq.Container object at 0x...>
            >>> assert type(container.resolve(FileReader)) == FileReader

            In this example, the EmailSender type is an abstract class
            and SmtpEmailSender is our concrete implementation.

            >>> class EmailSender:
            ...     def send(self, msg):
            ...         pass
            ...
            >>> class SmtpEmailSender(EmailSender):
            ...     def send(self, msg):
            ...         print("Sending message via smtp:", msg)
            ...
            >>> container.register(EmailSender, SmtpEmailSender)
            <punq.Container object at 0x...>
            >>> instance = container.resolve(EmailSender)
            >>> instance.send("beep")
            Sending message via smtp: beep

            You can also instantiate unregistered services:

            ...      def __init__(self, sender: EmailSender) -> None:

            ...      def notify_user(self, user: str) -> None:
            ...          self.sender.send(f'Happy birthday, {user}!')

            >>> instance = container.instantiate(BirthdayNotification)

            <punq.BirthdayNotification object at 0x...>

Each registration in Punq has a "service", which is the key used for resolving dependencies, and either an "instance" that implements the service or a "factory" that understands how to create an instance on demand.

Examples:

If we have an object that is expensive to construct, or that wraps a resouce that must not be shared, we might choose to use a singleton instance.

>>> import sqlalchemy

>>> container = Container()

>>> class DataAccessLayer:

>>> container.register(
...     DataAccessLayer,
...     instance=dal
... )
<punq.Container object at 0x...>
>>> assert container.resolve(DataAccessLayer) is dal

If we need to register a dependency, but we don't need to abstract it, we can register it as concrete.

>>> class FileReader:
...     def read (self):
...         # Assorted legerdemain and rigmarole
...         pass
...
>>> container.register(FileReader)
<punq.Container object at 0x...>
>>> assert type(container.resolve(FileReader)) == FileReader

In this example, the EmailSender type is an abstract class and SmtpEmailSender is our concrete implementation.

>>> class EmailSender:
...     def send(self, msg):
...         pass
...
>>> class SmtpEmailSender(EmailSender):
...     def send(self, msg):
...         print("Sending message via smtp:", msg)
...
>>> container.register(EmailSender, SmtpEmailSender)
<punq.Container object at 0x...>
>>> instance = container.resolve(EmailSender)
>>> instance.send("beep")
Sending message via smtp: beep

You can also instantiate unregistered services:

>>> class BirthdayNotification:
...      def __init__(self, sender: EmailSender) -> None:
...          self.sender = sender
...      def notify_user(self, user: str) -> None:

>>> instance = container.instantiate(BirthdayNotification)
>>> instance

>>> instance.notify_user('sobolevn')
Sending message via smtp: Happy birthday, sobolevn!

        In this example, the EmailSender type is an abstract class
        and SmtpEmailSender is our concrete implementation.

        >>> class EmailSender:
        ...     def send(self, msg):
        ...         pass
        ...
        >>> class SmtpEmailSender(EmailSender):
        ...     def send(self, msg):
        ...         print("Sending message via smtp:", msg)
        ...
        >>> container.register(EmailSender, SmtpEmailSender)
        <punq.Container object at 0x...>
        >>> instance = container.resolve(EmailSender)
        >>> instance.send("beep")
        Sending message via smtp: beep

        You can also instantiate unregistered services:

        >>> class BirthdayNotification:
        ...      def __init__(self, sender: EmailSender) -> None:
        ...          self.sender = sender
        ...      def notify_user(self, user: str) -> None:
        ...          self.sender.send(f'Happy birthday, {user}!')

        >>> instance = container.instantiate(BirthdayNotification)
        >>> instance
        <punq.BirthdayNotification object at 0x...>

        >>> instance.notify_user('sobolevn')
        Sending message via smtp: Happy birthday, sobolevn!

InvalidForwardReferenceError

Bases: InvalidForwardReferenceException

Raised when a registered service has a forward reference that can't be resolved.

Examples:

In this example, we register a service with a string as a type annotation. When we try to inspect the constructor for the service we fail with an InvalidForwardReferenceError

>>> from dataclasses import dataclass
>>> from punq import Container
>>> @dataclass
... class Client:
...     dep: 'Dependency'
>>> container = Container()
>>> container.register(Client)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
punq.InvalidForwardReferenceError: name 'Dependency' is not defined

This error can be resolved by first registering a type with the name 'Dependency' in the container.

>>> class Dependency:
...     pass
...
>>> container.register(Dependency)
<punq.Container object at 0x...>
>>> container.register(Client)
<punq.Container object at 0x...>
>>> container.resolve(Client)
Client(dep=<punq.Dependency object at 0x...>)

Alternatively, we can register a type using the literal key 'Dependency'.

>>> class AlternativeDependency:
...     pass
...
>>> container = Container()
>>> container.register('Dependency', AlternativeDependency)
<punq.Container object at 0x...>
>>> container.register(Client)
<punq.Container object at 0x...>
>>> container.resolve(Client)
Client(dep=<punq.AlternativeDependency object at 0x...>)
