This package provides a simple utility container for faciliting Inversion of Control software pattern. For clarity, this is not a dependency injection framework, merely a go routine safe container to share interfaces across an application.
Go has generics, but they aren't as extensive as other programming languages. Because of that, the ioc.Container struct works directly with reflect.Type and reflect.Value. However, there are two access patterns to work with the underlying container with type safety. These are technically optional, but make for a much better developer experience.
While it is not ideal to use a global, a global option is provided with static functions for interacting with a singleton ioc.Container (see example).
This package contains no init() functions.
Functions to interact with the container from context.Context are provided so that the container can be infered from a parent context. (see example).
A generic container is provided to allow for access to the underlying ioc.Container in a type safe way. You can either use the ioc.GenericContainer directly, or implement the functions from within the generic container in your own custom implementation.
