Replace your Dagger with a Kotlin DSL - "Better dependency injection for Android" https://medium.com/@giuliani.arnaud/better-dependency-injection-for-android-567b93353ad

arnaud.giuliani: this is pretty cool !

[arnaud.giuliani]

thanks 🙂 don't hesitate to give your feedback

[Andreas Sinz]

@arnaud.giuliani how does koin compare to Kodein?

[arnaud.giuliani]

Koin is less verbose with its main DSL

[arnaud.giuliani]

"provide { yourComponent }" in your module and that's it

[arnaud.giuliani]

Smooth integration with Android to retrieve your context anywhere and easily inject

[arnaud.giuliani]

@Andreas Sinz give it a try 😉

[janvladimirmostert]

this is the non-android one:
https://github.com/Ekito/koin

when using @Inject, how is annotation scanning done?

[arnaud.giuliani]

@janvladimirmostert @Inject is done by scanning for tagged properties (using introspection)

[arnaud.giuliani]

that's a way of injecting things. @Inject is for people assuming a certain facility of use, and then the use of introspection

[janvladimirmostert]

So basically getting a list of classes, then via reflection checking for @Inject annotations and then injecting the instances where necessary or can this injection still be done lazily?

[arnaud.giuliani]

yes all is done lazily because we use bean definition via functions that are evaluated just in time
