Building an DI Container

11/13/2011

It has been a while since I've written anything. To say the least things are hectic.  Most of which, I can't really talk about at this point (let's just say that I'm working on a product for a sector of the business world. I think I can say that much, but not much more until it gets closer to release). Anyway, today I'm finally getting around to talking about one more item that I've added to my utility library. Specifically I've added a basic DI container (dependency injection).

Note that this next section is an over simplification and I'm tired so if it's wrong, feel free to say so. Anyway, Dependency injection is a specific form of inversion of control. Inversion of control is when you invert the flow of a system. Instead of one central bit of code deciding how everything is run, it's up to the individual pieces to know how to do the actual work. For instance, if I call an object factory to create a database connection for me, I don't care how it's created or how the connection is doing anything as long as it gets done. And dependency injection is just a specific form of IoC. Instead of hard coding our dependencies in each individual class, we allow someone to pass in the component that they want to use. You can actually do this manually (using a factory pattern, etc.) and still have a form of dependency injection. However you can also automate this process using one of the many dependency injectors out there (I personally like Ninject and based the code below on it). But where's the fun in using someone else's when all we have to do is spend an afternoon and build our own.

This is our main point of code that we are going to use to get our objects. We set it up, call Get, and it will return to us our object (with the appropriate items injected). One thing that you'll notice is that there are a couple nonstandard C# calls in there (specifically the ForEach on the IEnumerable, IsNull, etc). These are all functions from the new utility library that I'm working on. I've been adding quite a bit to it, tons of extension methods, etc. So go and check out the repository as all of my code on here uses it (or at least the code on here uses a version of it). Plus any updates to the code can be found there also as I tend to forget the pages on this site. Anyway another thing you may notice is there isn't much code here. Most of the actual work is going to be done in the ProviderManager and MappingManager.

The ProviderManager above holds a list of providers. These providers determine how to handle an implementation when you provide the system with one. The implementations actually determine how something is created. For instance, the code base only has one provider at present called Standard.

This provider just creates a new implementation object (either a Delegate or Standard implementation depending) each time it's fed anything. However we could have a provider called Singleton or something and have it return its own implementation types. We determine which provider to use in the ProviderManager based on something called Scopes:

As you can see, it's just a holder of info. So for our Singleton provider example, we would need to create a Singleton scope and have it return that value so we know which to use. Anyway, the next bit is the actual implementations:

You'll notice that the Delegate implementation is a bit simpler. In this case you provide a Func and we just assume you know how you want an item created so we just return it. The standard implementation though is a bit more complicated.

When we call the standard implementation's Create function, it calls this little utility to determine which constructor to use:

This bit of code simply determines which constructor has the most items that we know how to create and returns it. The Standard.Create function then takes that constructor and calls CreateInstance. This call determines the parameters of the constructor, and creates each one in turn using the MappingManager (we'll get to that later). It then feeds the newly created items into the constructor and creates the object. After that it searches each method and each property to determine if they have been marked for injection also (note that this is done using an attribute called Inject). If it finds anything, it creates more objects in the same manner as the parameters for the constructor. Once it's done with that, it returns the newly created object.

So at this point we have our code to actually create our objects but we have nothing mapping it to anything. We can create but we don't know when and we don't know why. That's where the MappingManager comes in.

The MappingManager is also a bit bare on implementation. All it does is holds a series of mappings and modules and creates them/returns them as necessary. A module is actually not defined inside the system itself. It's what the end user would use to let the system know what mappings to use. It uses the following interface and base class:

For example, in your code, you would define a module like this:

   1: public class Module : BaseModule
   2: {
   3:     public override void Setup()
   4:     {
   5:         Map<ITestInterface>().To<TestClass1>().SetScope(new StandardScope());
   6:         Map<TestClass1>().To<TestClass1>(() => new TestClass1());
   7:         Map<ITestInterface, MyAttribute>().To(new TestImplementation());
   8:         Map<TestClass2>().To<TestClass2>();
   9:     }
  10: }

This module defines four mappings that the system can use. A mapping is, as the name suggests, a mapping between a key type and what should be created when it encounters that type. For instance whenever I hit the interface ITestInterface, we return a TestClass1 object. The module can also define the scope for the object and sets the implementation used. In the example above the first item maps ITestInterface to TestClass1 and sets the scope to StandardScope. The third item maps ITestInterface items that have the MyAttribute attribute to the TestImplementation implementation. Whenever you call Map in a module, it creates and returns a Mapping class:

The Mapping class is rather empty, the MappingKey actually defines the functions needed to determine which mapping is which. And the BaseMapping class holds the functions that set the scope, set the implementation, etc. And with that we're done.

We create our modules, which sets our mappings, which the system holds for us until we tell the manager to get us a specific object type. Once we do that, it assembles our object for us. It's not that complicated really and not that much code either (the largest file tops out at 189 lines of code including comments). And with that we have ourselves a simple DI container.

If you want updates, or find bugs, etc. check out the repository for the utility library (this is currently under the Utilities.IoC namespace). I'm terrible about updating my site but I update the code there whenever a bug is found. And hopefully I'll finish my huge update to that library before too long (and it is going to contain a number of changes and additions). Anyway, take a look at the code and happy coding.
