Brandy Lifecycles

Add life cycle support to brandy.

npm install @rstone770/brandy-lifecycles

By default, if a lifecycle is not explicitly defined, all registrations are assumed as SINGLETON which is different from vanilla brandy.

import { createContainer } from '@rstone770/brandy'
import { lifecycles, types } from '@rstone770/brandy-lifecycles'

const container = createContainer(lifecycles);

const factory = () => Object.create(null);

container.factory('default', factory);
container.factory('transient', factory, { lifecycle: types.TRANSIENT });
container.factory('singleton', factory, { lifecycle: types.SINGELTON });

container.instance('default') === container.instance('default'); // true
container.instance('transient') !== container.instance('transient'); // true
container.instance('singleton') === container.instance('singleton'); // true

API

lifecycles()

Enhances the container to allow lifecycle control. The enhancer looks at options.lifecycle passed in as the third argument to bind and factory to determine the lifecycle.

import { createContainer } from '@rstone770/brandy'
import { lifecycles, types } from '@rstone770/brandy-lifecycles'

const container = createContainer(lifecycles);

class SomeClass {}

container.factory('transient', () => Object.create(null), { lifecycle: 'transient' });
container.bind('singleton', SomeClass, { lifecycle: types.SINGELTON });

container.instance('transient') !== container.factory('transient') // true
container.instance('singleton') === container.instance('singleton'); // true

By default, if a lifecycle is not passed in, SINGLETON is used. Lifecycles can be from the types enum or a case insensitive string represting the lifecycle.

configureLifecycle(defaultLifecycle)

Creates an enhancer that is configured to use a specific lifecycle, if one is not defined.

import { createContainer } from '@rstone770/brandy'
import { configureLifecycle, types } from '@rstone770/brandy-lifecycles'

const container = createContainer(configureLifecycle(types.Transient));

types

Lifecycle values supported by this enhancer when registering dependencies and setting the defaultLifecycle when using configureLifecycle. Case insensitive string literals can be used instead.
