modern-di-aiohttp 3.2.0

Modern-DI integration for aiohttp.

Full guide: aiohttp integration docs

Usage example: examples/

Installation

uv add modern-di-aiohttp      # or: pip install modern-di-aiohttp

Usage

aiohttp has no dependency-injection system of its own, so modern-di-aiohttp pairs an @inject decorator with inert FromDI markers. setup_di stores the container on the app, opens it on startup and closes it on cleanup, and installs middleware that builds a per-connection child container automatically; FromDI resolves a provider (or type) into a handler parameter.

import dataclasses
import typing

from aiohttp import web
from modern_di import Container, Group, Scope, providers
from modern_di_aiohttp import FromDI, inject, setup_di


@dataclasses.dataclass(kw_only=True)
class Settings:
    debug: bool = True


@dataclasses.dataclass(kw_only=True)
class UserService:
    settings: Settings  # auto-injected by type


class Dependencies(Group):
    settings = providers.Factory(scope=Scope.APP, creator=Settings)
    user_service = providers.Factory(scope=Scope.REQUEST, creator=UserService)


@inject
async def index(
    request: web.Request,
    user_service: typing.Annotated[UserService, FromDI(Dependencies.user_service)],
) -> web.Response:
    return web.json_response({"debug": user_service.settings.debug})


app = web.Application()
app.router.add_get("/", index)
container = Container(groups=[Dependencies])
setup_di(app, container)
container.validate()  # optional fail-fast; must come after setup_di registers its providers

@inject works the same on the methods of a class-based web.View. Decorate the handler method, not the class; aiohttp calls the method with no arguments, so the request is taken from self.request:

class Users(web.View):
    @inject
    async def get(
        self,
        user_service: typing.Annotated[UserService, FromDI(Dependencies.user_service)],
    ) -> web.Response:
        return web.json_response({"debug": user_service.settings.debug})


app.router.add_view("/users", Users)

An HTTP request opens a Scope.REQUEST child container; a WebSocket connection opens a Scope.SESSION one. The connection aiohttp.web.Request is resolvable within DI: HTTP handlers and REQUEST-scoped factories inject it by type via aiohttp_request_provider, while WebSocket handlers read it via FromDI(aiohttp_websocket_provider). For per-message work inside a WebSocket handler, open a nested Scope.REQUEST child of the session container fetched with fetch_request_container.
