Google Guice - First Application
Let's create a sample console based application where we'll demonstrate dependency injection using Guice binding mechanism step by step.
Step 1: Create Interface
//spell checker interface interface SpellChecker { public void checkSpelling(); }
Step 2: Create Implementation
//spell checker implementation class SpellCheckerImpl implements SpellChecker { @Override public void checkSpelling() { System.out.println("Inside checkSpelling." ); } }
Step 3: Create Bindings Module
//Binding Module class TextEditorModule extends AbstractModule { @Override protected void configure() { bind(SpellChecker.class).to(SpellCheckerImpl.class); } }
Step 4: Create Class with dependency
class TextEditor { private SpellChecker spellChecker; @Inject public TextEditor(SpellChecker spellChecker) { this.spellChecker = spellChecker; } public void makeSpellCheck(){ spellChecker.checkSpelling(); } }
Step 5: Create Injector
Injector injector = Guice.createInjector(new TextEditorModule());
Step 6: Get Object with dependency fulfilled.
TextEditor editor = injector.getInstance(TextEditor.class);
Step 7: Use the object.
editor.makeSpellCheck();
Complete Example
Create a java class named GuiceTester.
GuiceTester.java
import com.google.inject.AbstractModule; import com.google.inject.Guice; import com.google.inject.Inject; import com.google.inject.Injector; public class GuiceTester { public static void main(String[] args) { Injector injector = Guice.createInjector(new TextEditorModule()); TextEditor editor = injector.getInstance(TextEditor.class); editor.makeSpellCheck(); } } class TextEditor { private SpellChecker spellChecker; @Inject public TextEditor(SpellChecker spellChecker) { this.spellChecker = spellChecker; } public void makeSpellCheck(){ spellChecker.checkSpelling(); } } //Binding Module class TextEditorModule extends AbstractModule { @Override protected void configure() { bind(SpellChecker.class).to(SpellCheckerImpl.class); } } //spell checker interface interface SpellChecker { public void checkSpelling(); } //spell checker implementation class SpellCheckerImpl implements SpellChecker { @Override public void checkSpelling() { System.out.println("Inside checkSpelling." ); } }
Output
Compile and run the file, you will see the following output.
Inside checkSpelling.
