Structs embedding dig.Out get treated as result objects. // // func SetupGateways(conn *sql.DB) (*UserGateway, *CommentGateway, *PostGateway, error) { // // ... // } // // The above is equivalent to, // // type Gateways struct { // dig.Out // // Users *UserGateway // Comments *CommentGateway // Posts *PostGateway // } // // func SetupGateways(conn *sql.DB) (Gateways, error) { // // ... // } // // # Optional Dependencies // // Constructors often don't have a hard dependency on some types and // are able to operate in a degraded state when that dependency is missing. // Dig supports declaring dependencies as optional by adding an // `optional:"true"` tag to fields of a dig.In struct. // // Fields in a dig.In structs that have the `optional:"true"` tag are treated // as optional by Dig. // // type UserGatewayParams struct { // dig.In // // Conn *sql.DB // Cache *redis.Client `optional:"true"` // } // // If an optional field is not available in the container, the constructor // will receive a zero value for the field. // // func NewUserGateway(p UserGatewayParams, log *log.Logger) (*UserGateway, error) { // if p.Cache == nil { // log.Print("Caching disabled") // } // // ... // } // // Constructors that declare dependencies as optional MUST handle the case of // those dependencies being absent. // // The optional tag also allows adding new dependencies without breaking // existing consumers of the constructor. // // # Named Values // // Some use cases call for multiple values of the same type. Dig allows adding // multiple values of the same type to the container with the use of Named // Values. // // Named Values can be produced by passing the dig.Name option when a // constructor is provided. All values produced by that constructor will have // the given name. // // Given the following constructors, // // func NewReadOnlyConnection(...) (*sql.DB, error) // func NewReadWriteConnection(...) (*sql.DB, error) // // You can provide *sql.DB into a Container under different names by passing // the dig.Name option. // // c.Provide(NewReadOnlyConnection, dig.Name("ro")) // c.Provide(NewReadWriteConnection, dig.Name("rw")) // // Alternatively, you can produce a dig.Out struct and tag its fields with // `name:".."` to have the corresponding value added to the graph under the // specified name. // // type ConnectionResult struct { // dig.Out // // ReadWrite *sql.DB `name:"rw"` // ReadOnly *sql.DB `name:"ro"` // } // // func ConnectToDatabase(...) (ConnectionResult, error) { // // ... // return ConnectionResult{ReadWrite: rw, ReadOnly: ro}, nil // } // // Regardless of how a Named Value was produced, it can be consumed by another // constructor by accepting a dig.In struct which has exported fields with the // same name AND type that you provided. // // type GatewayParams struct { // dig.In // // WriteToConn *sql.DB `name:"rw"` // ReadFromConn *sql.DB `name:"ro"` // } // // The name tag may be combined with the optional tag to declare the // dependency optional. // // type GatewayParams struct { // dig.In // // WriteToConn *sql.DB `name:"rw"` // ReadFromConn *sql.DB `name:"ro" optional:"true"` // } // // func NewCommentGateway(p GatewayParams, log *log.Logger) (*CommentGateway, error) { // if p.ReadFromConn == nil { // log.Print("Warning: Using RW connection for reads") // p.ReadFromConn = p.WriteToConn // } // // ... // } // // # Value Groups // // Added in Dig 1.2. // // Dig provides value groups to allow producing and consuming many values of // the same type. Value groups allow constructors to send values to a named, // unordered collection in the container. Other constructors can request all // values in this collection as a slice. // // Constructors can send values into value groups by returning a dig.Out // struct tagged with `group:".."`. // // type HandlerResult struct { // dig.Out // // Handler Handler `group:"server"` // } // // func NewHelloHandler() HandlerResult { // .. // } // // func NewEchoHandler() HandlerResult { // .. // } // // Any number of constructors may provide values to this named collection. // Other constructors can request all values for this collection by requesting // a slice tagged with `group:".."`. This will execute all constructors that // provide a value to that group in an unspecified order. // // type ServerParams struct { // dig.In // // Handlers []Handler `group:"server"` // } // // func NewServer(p ServerParams) *Server { // server := newServer() // for _, h := range p.Handlers { // server.Register(h) // } // return server // } // // Note that values in a value group are unordered. Dig makes no guarantees // about the order in which these values will be produced. // // Value groups can be used to provide multiple values for a group from a // dig.Out using slices, however considering groups are retrieved by requesting // a slice this implies that the values must be retrieved using a slice of // slices. As of dig v1.9.0, if you want to provide individual elements to the // group instead of the slice itself, you can add the `flatten` modifier to the // group from a dig.Out. // // type IntResult struct { // dig.Out // // Handler []int `group:"server"` // [][]int from dig.In // Handler []int `group:"server,flatten"` // []int from dig.In // } package dig // import "go.uber.org/dig"
