What's the recommended way of doing lazy resolving?

[GarfieldJiang]

I noticed that the repo of inject decorators is not maintained anymore, so what am I supposed to do if I hope to defer the resolving of some services (maybe most services)?

Hey @GarfieldJiang , we do not recommend using any sort of lazy resolution. The most likely reason to go for it is to bypass a circular dependency, and they are almost always a smell of a bad design choice.

Could I know more about your specific use case? There's not an answer that covers every possible workaround to lazy resolution.

Basically, there should be a way to define dependencies for your services. If you really cannot find an alternative to lazy resolution, you might bind the container as a service to achieve lazy resolution:

@injectable()
class Foo {
  readonly #container: Container;

  constructor(
    @inject(Symbol.for('container')
    container: Container,
  ) {
    this.#container = container;
  }

  get foo() {
    return this.#container.get('foo'); // you might want to store this in a property 
  }
}
