Yet another dependency injection container.
The original motivation to create my own DI-container was to understand how DI-containers work and why they come with the performance impact that they have. My aim was to learn about DI by trying to create a my own DI-Container and try to keep the performance impact low.
To achieve the first and most important goal and share the gained knowledge I decided to keep a developer diary in my blog. I haven't checked yet, whether I achieved the second goal.
Warning: This means that this project has been created using explorative programming and it is by no means made for productive use. One example is that the interface is not as intuitive as I thought. \ If you plan to use this in a serious project, please read the Dev Diary first, try to understand the code and then decide whether to use this DI-Container or one of the "well established", but also "proven" ones (like Autofac or MEF).
The developer diary can be found on my blog (http://markuspalcer.blogspot.de/ ):
- Part 1 - Interfaces
- Part 2 - Constructing a container
- Part 3 - Singletons, Generics and Reflection
- Part 4 - The first release
- Part 5 - Instance registration, Late processing, IgnoreAttribute
- Part 6 - Metadata, Factories
PantherDI is still under development and even new features will get blog posts.
A proper documentation (in the wiki) is still missing and to be honest I'm currently struggling with doing that, so I'd appreciate contributions in that direction.
A sample is planned, I just don't know which of my pet-projects I will use, so it'll be a surprise not just to you but also to me ;)
