Google Guice - Injectable Constructors

Non-private, No-argument constructors are eligible for just-in-time bindings. Another way is to annotate a constructor with @Inject annotation. See the example:

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;
import com.google.inject.name.Named;
import com.google.inject.name.Names;

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);
      bind(String.class)
         .annotatedWith(Names.named("JDBC"))
         .toInstance("jdbc:mysql://localhost:5326/emp");
   } 
}

//spell checker interface
interface SpellChecker {
   public void checkSpelling();
}

//spell checker implementation
class SpellCheckerImpl implements SpellChecker {

   @Inject @Named("JDBC")
   private String dbUrl;

   public SpellCheckerImpl(){}

   @Override
   public void checkSpelling() { 
      System.out.println("Inside checkSpelling." );
      System.out.println(dbUrl); 
   }
}

Output

Compile and run the file, you will see the following output.

Inside checkSpelling.
jdbc:mysql://localhost:5326/emp
