Hey guys, just found about this channel, I'd like to get more accustomed to the Koin source code and the logic behind it. I've read the code but I cannot fully grasp the idea behind it. Can someone briefly give me some pointers of the general premise and the main concepts Koin is based around? Also what to look out for and pay extra attention to while looking at the source code. Thank you! Hopefully will start contributing soon

Hey Nikola, I can give you a bunch of entry points to understand from where to start

[arnaud.giuliani]

There is 2 sides of Koin, the DSL and the core engine

Your first step is https://github.com/InsertKoinIO/koin/blob/master/koin-projects/koin-core/src/main/kotlin/org/koin/core/Koin.kt

[arnaud.giuliani]

from here you can check how we get resolve things

[arnaud.giuliani]

registry is where we hold definitions and instances: https://github.com/InsertKoinIO/koin/tree/master/koin-projects/koin-core/src/main/kotlin/org/koin/core/registry

[arnaud.giuliani]

and everything is inside a scope : https://github.com/InsertKoinIO/koin/tree/master/koin-projects/koin-core/src/main/kotlin/org/koin/core/scope

[arnaud.giuliani]

perhaps best is to start with understanding one usecase
