Visualizing the O’Reilly Connection Network

Dissident – More Ruby Dependency Injection


Christian Neukirchen, Ruby prodigy with an unrememberable last name, has not only written a nice new Dependency Injection library, but a nice overview of DI itself.
API sample:

class Application
  inject :logger
  def do_stuff
    logger.log "doing stuff"
  end
end

class MyContainer < Dissident::Container
provide :logger, Logger
end

Dissident.with MyContainer do
a = Application.new
a.do_stuff
end
