An Injecto class is a class that is eligible to be injected into another class. It is a plain Groovy class that follows certain conventions.
One of the goals of the Injecto library is for Injecto classes to be as natural as possible. However, there are some things to keep in mind.
Injecto classes must directly descend from Object .
Injecto classes must have a no argument constructor.
Methods to be injected must be defined as closure properties. For example, to define an instance method called doIt that takes two String arguments you would declare that as ...
class ExampleInjecto
{
def doIt = { String s1, String s2 ->
// Do 'it' in here
}
}
Static methods defined as ...
class ExampleInjecto
{
static doIt = { String s1, String s2 ->
// Do 'it' in here
}
}
Properties will be added as public fields with no type safety. They can be defined as ...
class ExampleInjecto
{
def myProperty = "myProperty"
}
NOTE: Static dynamic properties are currently not supported.
An alternative to plain properties, are managed properties .
