Installation

Make your life easier and setup NVM for managing node versions. By doing that all you need to do is run "nvm use" to avoid npm version issues.

Run Development

nvm use

yarn install OR npm install

yarn dev OR npm dev

Production

yarn build OR npm build

IOC Container

Dependency injection is a form of IOC, where you let someone else take control over your dependencies. An IOC container is just a tool for making this whole process more convenient. The ‘container’ is just an object where depencies are declared and stored. The declarative nature of a container is what makes it powerful. We don’t need to specify when the dependencies are created, just what they look like.

Adding Services

  1. Add service class to the services directory.
  2. Create a provider file and add it to the providers directory.
  3. Add the required reference to the init file.

Using the Service

  1. Declared resource.
const createContainer = require('./ioc/init');
const ioc = createContainer();

const configManager = ioc.ConfigManager;
  1. Service Provider
import { services } from './ioc';

services.configManager
