Class Dependency<T>

java.lang.Object

com.google.inject.spi.Dependency<T>

public final class Dependency<T>
extends java.lang.Object

A variable that can be resolved by an injector.

Use get(com.google.inject.Key<T>) to build a freestanding dependency, or InjectionPoint to build one that's attached to a constructor, method or field.

Since:

2.0

Method Detail

get

public static <T> Dependency<T> get(Key<T> key)

Returns a new dependency that is not attached to an injection point. The returned dependency is nullable.

forInjectionPoints

public static java.util.Set<Dependency<?>> forInjectionPoints(java.util.Set<InjectionPoint> injectionPoints)

Returns the dependencies from the given injection points.

getKey

public Key<T> getKey()

Returns the key to the binding that satisfies this dependency.

isNullable

public boolean isNullable()

Returns true if null is a legal value for this dependency.

getInjectionPoint

public InjectionPoint getInjectionPoint()

Returns the injection point to which this dependency belongs, or null if this dependency isn't attached to a particular injection point.

getParameterIndex

public int getParameterIndex()

Returns the index of this dependency in the injection point's parameter list, or -1 if this dependency does not belong to a parameter list. Only method and constuctor dependencies are elements in a parameter list.
