Using Dependency Containers offers several advantages that make development more enjoyable and efficient:

  1. Centralized Dependency Management: All dependencies are registered in one place, making it easier to manage and visualize the relationships between different components.

  2. Improved Testability: Dependencies can be easily mocked or stubbed, allowing for more effective unit testing. This leads to more reliable and maintainable code.

  3. Decoupling Components: By injecting dependencies, components become less tightly coupled, promoting a more modular and flexible architecture.

  4. Cleaner Code: Dependency injection reduces the need for global state and singletons, leading to cleaner and more maintainable code.

  5. Easier Refactoring: With dependencies managed centrally, refactoring becomes simpler as changes to dependencies only need to be made in one place.

Overall, Dependency Containers streamline the development process, making it more intuitive and enjoyable.

When working with C#, Java and even VBA, I felt so productive when working with Dependency Containers, or Dependency Injection in general. I really want to do the same with Swift and Swift UI, but there are limitations with Swift that have frustrated me. For example, Swift doesn’t appear to provide good or detailed reflection over classes and structs. So, I can’t look at a request to resolve a type, examine its constructors and resolve its dependencies.
