Class DaggerAdapter


  • public final class DaggerAdapter
    extends Object
    Adapts classes annotated with @dagger.Module such that their @dagger.Provides methods can be properly invoked by Guice to perform their provision operations.

    Simple example:

    
     Guice.createInjector(
       DaggerAdapter.from(SomeDaggerModule.class, new AnotherModuleWithConstructor());
     

    For modules with no instance binding methods, prefer using a class literal. If there are instance binding methods, an instance of the module must be passed.

    Any class literals specified by @dagger.Module(includes = ...) transitively will be included. Modules are de-duplicated, though multiple module instances of the same type is an error. Specifying a module instance and a class literal is also an error.

    Some notes on usage and compatibility.

    • Dagger provider methods have a "SET_VALUES" provision mode not supported by Guice.
    • Be careful about stateful modules. In contrast to Dagger (where components are expected to be recreated on-demand with new Module instances), Guice typically has a single injector with a long lifetime, so your module instance will be used throughout the lifetime of the entire app.
    • Dagger 1.x uses @Singleton for all scopes, including shorter-lived scopes like per-request or per-activity. Using modules written with Dagger 1.x usage in mind may result in mis-scoped objects.
    • Dagger 2.x supports custom scope annotations, but for use in Guice, a custom scope implementation must be registered in order to support the custom lifetime of that annotation.

    If methods need to be ignored based on a condtion, a Predicate<Method> can be used passed to DaggerAdapter.Builder.filter(com.google.common.base.Predicate<java.lang.reflect.Method>), as in DaggerAdapter.builder().addModules(...).filter(predicate).build(). Only the methods which satisfy the predicate will be processed.
