Adds a Dependency Injection menu to the Project Settings window where you can assign a service container. This framework does not use reflection. It is a concrete implementation of Abstract Service Locator: https://github.com/moonymachine/abstract-service-locator

Installation

n Dependents requires Unity version 2018 or later. This package can be installed via Unity's Package Manager.

This package depends on the following packages, please install these first:

• https://github.com/moonymachine/abstract-service-locator
• https://github.com/moonymachine/scrutable-objects
• Then, open the Add (+) menu in the Package Manager’s toolbar.
• Select the "Install package from git URL" button.
• Enter the URL: https://github.com/moonymachine/n-dependents.git
• Select Install.
• Open the Dependency Injection menu in the Project Settings window to create the required CompositionRootAsset. (The Dependency Injection menu is only available on 2018.3 or later. Otherwise, manually create a CompositionRoot asset in Resources.)

Example Service Container

This package uses samples, which require Unity version 2019 or later. If using an earlier version, copy the contents from the "Samples~" folder to your Assets directory.

• Select this package in the Package Manager window.
• Press the Samples button.
• Import the Example Service Container sample.
• Copy the Scripts folder from the "Example Service Container" folder to the "Dependency Injection" folder created earlier.
• Delete the empty Samples folders that were created.
• Right-click the "Dependency Injection\Assets" folder, then select Create > Service Container.
• Drag the ServiceContainer asset to the Service Container field in the Dependency Injection menu.
• Press play to see the service container initialize, update, and shut down, regardless of the current scene.
• Explore the example scripts for ServiceContainerAsset and the ServiceContainer that it creates.
• The service container can provide generic service types to MonoBehaviours through the Abstract Service Locator.
