Morphine

NOTE: I am in the process of extracting dependency injection features from Gaug.es. Currently, the only feature of this library is memoization. I am not dumb or inexperienced. I'm just not done yet.

Morphine is a lightweight dependency injection framework for Ruby. It uses a simple Ruby DSL to ease the pain of wiring your dependencies together.

Usage

Create a container for your dependencies and include the Morphine module.

class Application
  include Morphine

  register :track_service do
    KestrelTrackService.new(kestrel_client, config.tracking_queue)
  end

  register :track_processor do
    KestrelTrackProcessor.new(blocking_kestrel_client, config.tracking_queue)
  end

private

  register :kestrel_client do
    c = config['kestrel'].dup
    Kestrel::Client.new(c.delete('servers'), c.symbolize_keys)
  end

  register :blocking_kestrel_client do
    Kestrel::Client::Blocking.new(kestrel_client)
  end
end

Create an instance of your container, and use that to load your dependencies

$app = Application.new

get '/track.gif' do
  $app.track_processor.record(params['h'])
end

But I don't need dependency injection in Ruby!

Many argue that you don't need dependency injection in dynamic languages like Ruby. What they are really saying is you don't need a complicated dependency injection framework, and they're right.

That's why Morphine is an extremely simple library.
