Brunch VS InversifyJS

Alright! So, I head over to the Github repository to see if that thing is still active. Last commit on Feb 18th 2021. Sounds maintained. Issue count? 143 at the time I'm writing this. Perhaps I'll run into some of those, but hey: Don't say no until you've tried it, right?

So, the website looks promising:

However, things like DI / IoC are almost universally recommended when talking about software architecture and you really need interfaces to do it. There's inversify.js which is a good option for Typescript users, but again you need to be doing OOP.

Hi, I know that there are some solutions out there to deal with IoC containers in TypeScript, like Inversify, but so far, and after many days exploring the Internet looking for a "nice" solution, I didn't find anything alike to what I just came up with... So there's a chance that this is really a novelty when it comes to TS patterns :) , who knows.

We use inversify for this, really great and easy to use package https://www.npmjs.com/package/inversify

I am referring to this issue.

It stands for Inversion-of-Control Container. It's a library that helps you break your app into replaceable parts that you compose together at runtime into a specific configuration. Examples are Inversify, next.js maybe too

How about in the context of JavaScript and TypeScript? It may not be common to use DI in web frontend development. Nevertheless, there are DI libraries available for JavaScript and TypeScript. For example, AngularJS and Angular have a DI framework built in. There are also libraries that provide DI functionality on its own, such as InversifyJS and TSyringe. Both InversifyJS and TSyringe are DI libraries for use with TypeScript. InversifyJS is a library with over 5000 Github stars and is used in over 18,000 repositories. On the other hand, there doesn't seem to be much active development going on these days. TSyringe is a DI library that is mainly developed by Microsoft. As of September 2020, it has about 1,400 stars on Github, and it seems to be under continuous development.

The DI library you are looking for is InversifyJS https://github.com/inversify/InversifyJS. Its mature and mirrors API of other popular DI libraries.

Following the official documentation, I created a map called TYPES that contains all the tokens we’ll use later for injection. I implemented the necessary interfaces, adding the class-level decorator @injectable to each. The parameters of the InversifySettingsTxtService  constructor use the @inject decorator, helping the DI container to resolve dependencies in runtime.
