.NET Core Dependency Injection for Python
Project description
WD-DI
.NET Style Dependency Injection for Python
WD-DI brings the robust and flexible dependency injection patterns of .NET to your Python applications, with no external library dependencies, just Python's standard library.
Full documentation can be found at https://whiteducksoftware.github.io/wd-di/ (or in the /docs directory).
For beginners, the Core Concepts and Tutorials sections in the documentation are a great place to start to understand not just how to use DI, but why it's beneficial!
Why WD-DI? 🤔
- Simplified Dependency Management: Effortlessly manage object creation and lifecycles.
- Enhanced Testability: Easily mock dependencies for robust unit tests.
- Modular Architecture: Build loosely coupled, maintainable, and scalable applications.
- Familiar Patterns: Leverage .NET-inspired DI concepts like service lifetimes (Singleton, Scoped, Transient), constructor injection, and the Options pattern for configuration.
- Pythonic and Lightweight: Clean, intuitive API that integrates smoothly into your Python projects.
| ✅ Feature | WD-DI | Typical alternatives |
|---|---|---|
| Pure-stdlib (zero runtime deps) | ✔ | ✘ pull in pydantic / C-extensions |
| .NET-style lifetimes Transient • Singleton • Scoped (+ auto-dispose) |
✔ | ✘ Scoped rarely supported |
| Strongly-typed Options binding from dict/JSON/env → dataclass | ✔ | ✘ Dicts or manual parsing |
| Decorator Pattern Built-in "wrap this service with that decorator" API? | ✔ | ✘ Only by manual implementation |
| Middleware pipeline bundled & DI-aware (async-first) | ✔ | ✘ None ship a generic pipeline |
Decorator-based registration tied to your ServiceCollection (no globals) |
✔ | ✘ Global singletons or meta-classes |
Thread-safe circular-dependency detection via ContextVar |
✔ | ✘ Simple set → race-prone |
Full IDE type inference for get_service() |
✔ | ✘ Returns Any / needs cast() |
| Lean & readable (~1.4 k LOC + robust test suite) | ✔ | ✘ wtf am I reading |
Installation 📦
pip install wd-di
Quick Example: The Power of WD-DI 🚀
Experience clean, decoupled code with intuitive type-hinted dependency resolution:
from wd.di import ServiceCollection
services = ServiceCollection()
# Define interfaces and implementations
class IEmailService:
def send_email(self, to: str, subject: str, body: str) -> None:
pass
class EmailService(IEmailService):
def send_email(self, to: str, subject: str, body: str) -> None:
print(f"\nSending email to {to}")
print(f"Subject: {subject}")
print(f"Body: {body}")
print("Email sent successfully\n")
# UserService depends on IEmailService
class UserService:
def __init__(self, email_service: IEmailService):
self.email_service = email_service
def notify_user(self, user_id: str, message: str) -> None:
self.email_service.send_email(f"user{user_id}@example.com", "Notification", message)
# Register services
services.add_singleton(IEmailService, EmailService)
services.add_singleton(UserService)
# Build provider
# Services will be resolved and injected into services
# like EmailService into UserService
provider = services.build_service_provider()
# Get services with proper type hints
email_service = provider.get_service(IEmailService)
user_service = provider.get_service(UserService)
# IDE will provide code completion for these methods
# No need to cast or use Any
email_service.send_email("test@example.com", "Test", "Hello")
user_service.notify_user("123", "Welcome!")
