Dependency Injection
Priority: P1 (HIGH)
Automated class dependency management using get_it and injectable.
Structure
core/injection/
├── injection.dart # Initialization & setup
└── modules/ # Third-party dependency modules (Dio, Storage)
Implementation Guidelines
- Automated Registration: Use
@injectableannotations; avoid manual registry calls. - @LazySingleton: Default for repositories, services, and data sources (init on demand).
- @injectable (Factory): Default for BLoCs to ensure state resets on every request.
- Abstract Injection: Always register implementations as abstract interfaces (
as: IService). - Modules: Use
@modulefor registering third-party instances (e.g.,Dio,SharedPreferences). - Constructor Injection: Use mandatory constructor parameters;
injectableresolves them. - Test Mocks: Swap implementations in
setUpusinggetIt.registerLazySingletonfor testing.
