Dependency creation behaviour
Dependency Creation Behaviour
-----------------
You can control how a dependency is resolved by specifying a creation scope during registration. The scope determines which instance is returned, be it the same each time or a new one. The following scopes are available:

Automatic Injection
----------
The real value of any dependency injection framework comes from its ability to automatically inject dependencies. Poodinis supports automatic injection either through autowiring members annotated with the `@Autowire` UDA or through constructor injection.
### UDA-based autowiring
### UDA-based Autowiring
UDA-based autowiring can be achieved by annotating members of a class with the `@Autowire` UDA:

If the constructors of a class are not suitable for injection, you could manually configure its creation using Application Contexts (see chapter further down).
Constructor injection has the advantage of not having to import Poodinis throughout your application.
### Value injection
### Value Injection
Besides injecting class instances, Poodinis can also inject values:
```
```d
class ExampleClass {
@Value("a.key.for.this.value")
private int someNumber = 9; // Assignment is kept when the injector cannot find the value associated with key
}
```
The value will automatically be injected during the autowiring process. In order for Poodinis to be able to inject values, ValueInjectors must be available and registered with the dependency container:
```
```d
class MyIntInjector : ValueInjector!int {
int get(string key) {
// read from some value source, such as a configuration file.

Poodinis doesn't come with any value injector implementations. In the [README.md](README.md) you will find a list of projects which use different libraries as value sources.
Circular dependencies
Circular Dependencies
---------------------
Poodinis can autowire circular dependencies when they are registered with `singleInstance` or `existingInstance` registration scopes. Circular dependencies in registrations with `newInstance` scopes will not be autowired, as this would cause an endless loop. Circular dependencies are only supported when autowiring members through the `@Autowire` UDA; circular dependencies in constructors are not supported and will result in an `InstanceCreationException`.
Registering and resolving using qualifiers
Registering and Resolving Using Qualifiers
------------------------------------------
You can register multiple concrete types to a super type. When doing so, you will need to specify a qualifier when resolving that type:
```d

If you registered multiple concrete types to the same supertype and you do not resolve using a qualifier, a `ResolveException` is thrown stating that there are multiple candidates for the type to be resolved.
Autowiring all registered instances to an array
Autowiring All Registered Instances to an Array

--------------------
You can fine-tune dependency configuration using application contexts. Application contexts allow you to centralize all dependency configuration as well as define how instances of certain classes should be constructed using factory methods.
###Defining and using application contexts

An application context is defined as follows:

All registered dependencies can now be resolved by the same dependency container. Registering a context will also register it as a dependency, meaning you can autowire the application context in other classes.
You can register as many types of application contexts as you like.
###Autowiring application contexts
###Autowiring Application Contexts
Application contexts can make use of autowired dependencies like any other dependency. When registering an application context, all its components are registered first after which the application context is autowired.
This means that after the registration of an application context some dependencies will already be resolved and instantiated. The following example illustrates how autowired members can be used in a context:

Persistent Registration and Resolve Options
-------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
If you want registration options to be persistent (applicable for every call to `register()`), you can use the container method `setPersistentRegistrationOptions()`:
```d
dependencies.setPersistentRegistrationOptions(RegistrationOption.doNotAddConcreteTypeRegistration); // Sets the options
@ -290,3 +290,21 @@ dependencies.setPersistentResolveOptions(ResolveOption.registerBeforeResolving);
dependencies.unsetPersistentResolveOptions(); // Clears the persistentent options
```
Please note that setting options will unset previously set options; the options specified will be the only ones in effect.
Post-Constructors and Pre-Destructors
-------------------------------------
Using the `@PostConstruct` and `@PreDestroy` UDAs you can let the container call public methods in your class right after the container constructed it or when it loses its registration for your class. The pre-constructor is called right after the container has created a new instance of your class and has autowired its members. The post-construtor is called when `removeRegistration` or `clearAllRegistrations` is called, or when the container's destructor is called. A post-constructor or pre-destructor must have the signature `void(void)`.
```d
class MyFineClass {
@PostConstruct
void postConstructor() {
// Is called right after MyFineClass is created and autowired
}
@PreDestroy
void preDestructor() {
// Is called right before MyFineClass's registration is removed from the container
}
}
```
You can have multiple post-constructors and pre-destructors, they will all be called; however, the order in which they are called is undetermined.
