Hello people.
Is this supposed to be supported:

@Named("abc")
annotation class Abc

It doesn't seem to be working consistently, as declaring this doesn't work

class Module {

  @Factory
  @Abc
  fun abc() = "abc"
}

While this does work

class Module {

  @Factory
  @Named("abc")
  fun abc() = "abc"
}

I have other cases where it worked, I don't remember where, I could check if needed

[arnaud.giuliani]

it's not like dagger, that is generating everything compile time. Just define a named on a definition

[arnaud.giuliani]

just use @Named() on needed definition, and function/constructor arguments that you need to pass

I forget to correct my message

I have other cases where it worked, I don’t remember where, I could check if needed

Afterwards I realized I was providing the wrong Int in “other cases” 😄
But if I’m not mistaken that works on Dagger and I find it very clean 🙂

[arnaud.giuliani]

you don't need to define your own annotation with Koin, just use the named annotation or function where you need it

[Davide Giuseppe Farella]

I don't need, but I would like to :)
I prefer @MyQualifier over @Named(MY_QUALIFIER)

[Davide Giuseppe Farella]

Just my opinion ofc

[arnaud.giuliani]

yes, because you can use static strings also 🙂
