Bindings

// Create an instance of Backbone.Injector
var injector = new Backbone.Injector();

// Bind a value which can be of any type, returns the string R. Moorman
injector.bind('name').toValue('R. Moorman');

// Bind a type which returns every time a new instance
injector.bind('myapp:button').toType(Backbone.View);

// Bind a type to a singleton which returns only one instance of it
injector.bind('myapp:config').toSingleton(Backbone.Model.extend({
    defaults: {
        url: 'https://github.com/moorinteractive/backbone-di'
    }
}));

Injections

// Create an instance of Backbone.Injector
var injector = new Backbone.Injector();

// Let's do some bindings...
injector.bind('myapp:config').toValue({
    title: 'Ahoy matey!'
});

// Create a new Backbone.View with the config injected
var view = new (Backbone.View.extend({
    injections: {
        config: 'myapp:config'
    }
}));

injector.inject(view);

// Retrieve the config title by the key which is determined in the
// config, in this case that will be 'config'.
var title = view.config.title;

Note that the key in the config of injections will be the property name under which the instance is injected.
