A Kotlin compatibility layer for constructing HK2 Bindings and using HK2 Service Locators.
kompat-hk2 provides slightly nicer syntax for programmatically constructing HK2 bindings.
// Before
val myBinder = object: AbstractBinder() {
override fun configure() {
bind(B::class.java).`in`(Singleton::class.java).to(A::class.java)
bindAsContract(C::class.java).`in`(PerThread::class.java)
}
}
// With kompat-hk2
val myBinder = binder {
bind(B::class) inScope Singleton::class toContract A::class
bindAsContract(C::Class) inScope PerThread::class
}kompat-hk2 provides slightly nicer syntax that allows for the type to be inferred in some cases.
// Before
val clock: Clock = serviceLocator.getService(Clock::class.java)
// With kompat-hk2
val clock: Clock = serviceLocator.getService()
// or
val clock = serviceLocator.getService<Clock>()Configure the kompat repository
