Hi. Are you looking for a way to install Kodein on a Ktor Server ?

If so, I recommend you to check the docs https://kosi-libs.org/kodein/7.19/framework/ktor.html

TL;DR use the di { … } builder inside your ktor application.

thanks @romainbsl

yes i see that solution before, but its work with ktor embbeded server, if we work work configure server with .conf or .yml file how can to use this dsl to install kodein ??

Actually, this is not possible to install Kodein through file configuration.
Anyway, you cannot configure your DI context as config file, as we need to read the types, you must do it as code.

Plus, I don't find anything about installing plugins in config files, like install(Sessions) ?
