Go dependency injection with Wire
Blog post from LogRocket
The article explores the concept of dependency injection in Go, a programming language known for its simplicity and speed, similar to C or C++. Dependency injection is a software engineering technique in which an object receives its dependencies, allowing for more flexible and maintainable code. The article provides a code example demonstrating a basic dependency injection setup with a message, greeter, and event, and introduces Wire, a code dependency tool that automates this process without runtime state or reflection. Wire is used to simplify the dependency injection process by generating source code at compile time, encouraging explicit initialization. The article also covers the installation and use of Wire, including handling dynamic arguments and error detection, highlighting how Wire can streamline dependency management in large codebases. It concludes by suggesting further exploration of Wire's advanced features through its documentation.
