Typescript lightweight dependency injection container and http server framework

Installation

npm i @msiviero/knit

Dependency injection

Base usage is simple as:

import { Container, injectable } from "@msiviero/knit";

@injectable()
class EmailService {
  public sendEmail(recipient: string) {
    // omitted
  }
}

@injectable()
class MyApplication {

  constructor(private readonly emailService: EmailService) { }

  public run() {
    this.emailService.sendEmail("[email protected]");
  }
}

const app = Container.getInstance().resolve(MyApplication);

app.run();

Note that all instances all singleton by default

Injection scope

Pass desired scope as decorator parameter

@injectable(Scope.Prototype)
class EmailService {
  public sendEmail(recipient: string) {
    // omitted
  }
}

Register custom provider

@provider<EmailService>(EmailService, Scope.Prototype)
export class EmailServiceProvider {
    public provide = () => new EmailService();
}

Container.getInstance().registerProvider(EmailServiceProvider);

@injectable()
class MyApplication {
  constructor(public readonly emailService: EmailService) { }
}

Inline declare a provider

Container
  .getInstance()
  .registerTokenProvider("inject:email-service", class implements Provider<EmailService> {
    public provide = () => ({
      sendEmail: (recipient: string) => {
        // omitted
      }
    });
  });

@injectable()
class MyApplication {
  constructor(@inject("inject:EmailService") public readonly emailService: EmailService) { }
}

Register interface provider

interface EmailService {
  sendEmail: (recipient: string) => void;
}

@provider<EmailService>("inject:EmailService", Scope.Prototype)
export class EmailServiceProvider {
    public provide = () => ({
      sendEmail: (recipient: string) => {
        // omitted
      }
    });
}

Container.getInstance().registerProvider(EmailServiceProvider);

@injectable()
class MyApplication {
  constructor(@inject("inject:EmailService") public readonly emailService: EmailService) { }
}

Configuration

@configuration()
export class DepConfig {
    public myname = "deps";
}

@configuration()
export class AppConfig {

    public myname = this.dep.myname + "_blabla";

    constructor(private readonly dep: DepConfig) { }
    public fruit = () => "banana";
}

@injectable()
class ConfigurableClass {
    constructor(
        @config("AppConfig:myname") public readonly myname: string,
        @config("AppConfig:fruit") public readonly fruit: string,
        @env("BLA_BLA") public readonly envValue: string,
        @env("NON_EXISTENT_BLA_BLA", "bla_bla2") public readonly envValueWithDefault: string,
        @env("NON_EXISTENT_BLA_BLA2") public readonly envValueWithoutDefault: string,
        @env("A_NUMBER", 0, converters.number) public readonly envNumberValue: number,
        @env("A_LIST", undefined, converters.list) public readonly envListalue: string[],
    ) { }
}

Http server

import { injectable } from "./dependency-injection";
import { api, Exchange, HttpMethod, HttpServer, route } from "./server";

@injectable()
class TestService {
    public readonly who: string = "world";
}

@api()
class ApiClass {

    constructor(
        private readonly testService: TestService,
    ) { }

    @route(HttpMethod.GET, "/hello")
    public async getEndpoint(exchange: Exchange) {
        exchange.response.send({ hello: this.testService.who });
    }
}

HttpServer
    .getInstance()
    .api(ApiClass)
    .start();

Validate input via json schema

@route(HttpMethod.GET, "/it-throws-validation-error", {
        querystring: {
            type: "object",
            required: [
                "mandatory",
            ],
            properties: {
                mandatory: { type: "number" },
            },
        },
    })
    public async getEndpointValidated(exchange: Exchange) {
        return exchange.response.send({ status: "ok" });
    }

Http endpoint testing

describe("Http server custom instance", () => {

    const container = new Container()
        .register(ApiClass, Scope.Singleton)
        .registerProvider("service:test", class implements Provider<TestService> {
            public provide = () => new TestService("world2");
        }, Scope.Singleton);

    const httpServer = new HttpServer(container)
        .api(ApiClass);

    beforeAll(() => httpServer.start());
    afterAll(() => httpServer.stop());

    it("should register endpoint and serve requests", async () => {

        const response = await supertest(httpServer.app.server)
            .get("/hello")
            .expect(200)
            .expect("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");

        expect(response.text).toEqual(JSON.stringify({ hello: "world2" }));
    });
});
