Poodinis is a dependency injection framework for the D programming language. It is inspired by the [Spring Framework] and [Hypodermic] IoC container for C++. Poodinis supports registering and resolving classes either by concrete type or interface. Automatic injection of dependencies is supported through the use of UDAs (Referred to as autowiring).

Developed for D 2.069.2  
Uses the Phobos standard library  
Can be built with DUB 0.9.24

History
-------
For a full overview of changes, see [CHANGES.md](CHANGES.md)

Getting started
---------------
###DUB Dependency
See the Poodinis [DUB project page] for instructions on how to include Poodinis into your project.

###Quickstart
The following example shows the typical usage of Poodinis:
```d
import poodinis;

interface Database{};
class RelationalDatabase : Database {}

class DataWriter {
	@Autowire
	public Database database; // Automatically injected when class is resolved
}

void main() {
	auto dependencies = DependencyContainer.getInstance();
	dependencies.register!DataWriter;
	dependencies.register!(Database, RelationalDatabase);

	auto writer = dependencies.resolve!DataWriter;
}
```
For more examples, see the [examples](example) directory.

###Tutorial
For an extended tutorial walking you through all functionality offered by Poodinis, see [TUTORIAL.md](TUTORIAL.md)

Documentation
-------------
You can generate Public API documentation from the source code using DUB:
```
dub build --build=ddox
```
The documentation can then be found in docs/

Future Work
-----------
* Component scan (auto-registration)
* Phobos collections autowiring
* Constructor injection
* Named qualifiers
