axon VS wire

Hey all, I just refactored a library I use for my company called axon. It's a simple, lightweight, and lazy-loaded DI (really just a singleton management) library that supports generics. I refactored it to add some needed features as well as get some practice with Go generics (not 100% sure how I feel about them but they're pretty cool so far).

We use https://github.com/google/wire for every bigger project, take a look at it, it beautifully solves initialisation and also gives you a guideline on how to do it.

Im by no means a "purist" in such things, I love my magic and QoL-features/libs, but havent seen something that is so easy to use in go, that I immediately wanted to add it. And to be fair, I only looked closely at https://github.com/google/wire , others I have just skipped - and I will be looking into uber-fx as mentioned in the other comment.

If you have such a complex and deep dependency graph, and you don't want to manually maintain it, you could use some DI library to handle that for you. Something like https://github.com/google/wire for small-medium size stuff, or https://github.com/uber-go/fx for larger scale, more enterprise projects.

Try https://github.com/google/wire. Compile time generated like dagger 2 in java.

Most people probably do it by hand (I do). But otherwise, probably https://github.com/google/wire is the most popular, maybe followed by https://github.com/uber-go/fx.

For larger object graphs do you roll everything by hand or encourage something like https://github.com/google/wire

The other thing is that I'm lazy, so I don't construct all dependencies in main.go manually but use wire to generate the construction of my dependency tree.

This guy fucks. Modular monoliths is the way. The service initialization/wiring part could be simplified (given a bigger project ofc) using something like https://github.com/google/wire. But everything else... *chef kiss* beautiful.
