Dependency Injection And Inversion Of Control

The section explains Dependency Injection (DI) and Inversion of Control (IoC) principles in Java, showcasing their significance in managing dependencies in applications.

What Is Dependency Injection (Di)?

Dependency Injection (DI) is a design pattern that facilitates Inversion of Control, allowing an object to receive dependencies from an external source rather than creating them itself.

Definition

Dependency Injection is a design pattern used to implement Inversion of Control (IoC), allowing objects to receive dependencies from external sources rather than creating them internally.

Real-World Analogy

Dependency Injection (DI) is illustrated through a real-world analogy of a television remote needing batteries.

Why Di?

Dependency Injection (DI) simplifies the management of dependencies in software applications, leading to reduced coupling and improved testability.

Types Of Dependency Injection

This section outlines the various types of Dependency Injection, including constructor, setter, and field injection, along with their respective implementations in Java.

Constructor Injection

Constructor Injection is a method of Dependency Injection where dependencies are provided through the class constructor.

Setter Injection

Setter Injection allows dependencies to be set through public setters, enabling flexibility and configuration.

Field Injection

Field injection is a method of dependency injection where dependencies are injected directly into an object's fields, commonly used in frameworks like Spring.

Benefits Of Using Dependency Injection

Dependency Injection (DI) provides several key benefits including loose coupling, reusability, testability, and scalability.

Implementing Di With Java Without Frameworks

This section explains how to implement Dependency Injection (DI) in Java without using frameworks, highlighting the concept through a manual constructor injection example.

Manual Constructor Injection Example

This section illustrates manual constructor injection in Java, demonstrating how dependencies can be provided directly via constructor parameters.

Dependency Injection Using Spring Framework
