Reliability

• More than 2000 of test cases covered.
• Thread-safe and lock-free registrations and resolutions.
• Detects recursive dependencies (cycles) in object graph.
• Throws exceptions as early as possible with a lot of details.
• Provides diagnostics for potential resolution problems via container.Validate().

Features

Incomplete feature list

• Registration of service to implementation type mapping (additionally supported: registering once, registration replace, registration removal).
• Registration of delegate factory and already created service instance.
• Batch registration of types from the provided assemblies.
• Registration identified with a service key of arbitrary type and registration of multiple non-keyed implementations for a single service.
• Registration with the condition depending on context.
• Registration with the associated metadata object of arbitrary type.
• Resolve and ResolveMany.
• Service lifetime control via Reuse and lifetime scoping:
  • Nested disposable scopes with optional names
  • Optional ambient scope context
  • Reuse types: Transient, Singleton, Scoped in multiple flavors including the scoping to the specific service ancestor in the object graph
  • Option to useParentReuse and to useDecorateeReuse (for decorators)
  • Option to preventDisposal and weaklyReferenced
• Open-generics support including type constraints, variance, complex nesting and recurring definitions.
• Constructor parameters injection and optional property and field injection.
• Static and instance factory methods with the parameter injection similar to the constructor parameter injection.
• Injection of properties and fields into the existing object.
• Decorators:
  • Nested with the relative order control
  • Generic and non-generic
  • With the Reuse possibly different from the decorated service
  • Decorators of the Wrappers
• Wrappers:
  • Service collections: T[], IEnumerable<T>, LazyEnumerable<T>, and I(ReadOnly)Collection|List<T>
  • Single service wrappers: Lazy<T>, Func<T>, Meta<TMetadata, T> or Tuple<TMetadata, T>, KeyValuePair<TKey, T>
  • Currying of constructor or factory method parameters with Func<TArg, T>, Func<TArg1, TArg2, T>, etc
  • Nested wrappers: e.g. Tuple<SomeMetadata, Func<ISomeService>>[]
  • User-defined wrappers
  • Composite
• User-provided strategies for resolution of unknown service.
  • Dynamic registration providers
  • Optional automatic concrete types resolution

Resolution options

DryIoc implements a service resolution and injection via expression compilation and interpretation. The interpretation is the only option for the target platforms without the System.Reflection.Emit like the Xamarin iOS. Check the Resolution Pipeline document for more details.
