Hi, I have been writing an sdk recently and I decided not to use Koin in the sdk as it would force users to use it as well and provide additional configuration. A similar issue is raised in this reddit post. Any thoughts on embedding Koin inside an sdk without forcing the host app to use it too?

You can already do that with Koin.

Anyway I am not sure why you need to use a DI framework in a sdk which is monomodule and has no tests.

Do what already? Also, the link was to highlight how the host app has to configure Koin, whether it has tests or not is irrelevant.

You can already isolate it: https://insert-koin.io/docs/reference/koin-core/context-isolation/
The Reddit post doesn't show anything, it's just someone who made it that way.

@Rak why do you need a DI framework in a monomodule project without tests?

It would facilitate integration testing, or in multimodule the setup itself, but being monomodule you can pass the implementations as default params in the constructors

@Javier Its not my library, its just an example of a library requiring DI. However, I could absolutely see a complex library requiring DI.

Managing an object graph with or without tests is made easier with a DI library
