11/14/2017, 4:13 AMI've created a dependency injection library for Kotlin that I've been porting to multi-platform. I use weak references to ensure that I don't create memory leaks.

11/14/2017, 4:14 AMI define injected types in an object with delegated properties, and later fill those delegated properties with dependencies when inject is called later on.

11/14/2017, 4:15 AMsometimes inject isn't called during the constructor invocation, but rather later on during an initial lifecycle. In such a case where the object isn't taken through a lifecycle, the injection wouldn't happen, and I'd have a memory leak.
