Hi there, I'm switching from kodein to koin on my ktor application. Previously I've created an extension function to make the Application class available to KodeinAware classes to inject it. Is it possible to have access to the Application instance from my managed instances in koin?

possibly you can have following module:

fun applicationModule(app: Application) = module {
    single { app }
}

and provide your application instance on starting the koin

thanks 🙂

no need to declare it in a module, the startKoin() from koin-android take Context and Application instances available for you. Just need to inject it when needed 🙂

but he is using ktor 🙂

ho sorry ...

😄

[tapchicoma]

Will it make sense to have the same approach for koin-ktor, that you've described for koin-android?

To be honest ... don’t know well, as I’m not a fulltime user of Ktor 😕
