kangaru is a dependency injection container library for C++11 and C++14. It manages recursive dependency injection, injection into function parameter, and more. The name Kangaru came from the feature of injecting itself as a dependency into a service.
Documentation and tutorial is in the wiki and the doc folder!
To make kangaru available on a machine, you must create a build directory:
cd kangaru
mkdir build
cd build
Then use cmake to generate the makefile and export the package:
cmake ..
Optionally, you can also install kangaru on your system:
sudo make install
You must use the find_package function:
find_package(kangaru REQUIRED)
And then add the include dirs to your target:
target_link_libraries(<YOUR TARGET> PUBLIC kangaru)
Then you can include the library as follow:
#include <kangaru/kangaru.hpp>
- Recursive dependency resolution
- Does not need to modify existing classes
- You tell the container how to construct your types
- You tell the container how to store them
- You tell the container how they are injected
- Injection by setters
- Clean and simple API
- Low runtime overhead
- Header only library
- Clean diagnostics at compile-time.
There is some feature I would like to see become real. Here's a list of those, feel free to contribute!
- Testing with multiple / virtual inheritance
- Unit tests
- Better messages for compile-time errors (ongoing)
- Service sources, more detail here: #41
