kotlin-guice
============

Guice extensions for Kotlin. This provides extension wrappers and extension methods for providing a better Guice DSL experience from Kotlin. It takes advantage of reified types to reduce class references like `bind(MyResource::class.java)` to `bind<MyResource>()`.

## Download

Download the latest JAR via Maven:

```xml
<dependency>
  <groupId>dev.misfitlabs.kotlinguice4</groupId>
  <artifactId>kotlin-guice</artifactId>
  <version>1.5.0</version>
</dependency>
```

or Gradle:

```gradle
compile 'dev.misfitlabs.kotlinguice4:kotlin-guice:1.5.0'
```

## Getting Started

### KotlinModule

Use `KotlinModule` for Guice modules instead of `AbstractModule` to take advantage of the enhanced Kotlin Guice DSL. 

```kotlin
import dev.misfitlabs.kotlinguice4.KotlinModule

class MyModule : KotlinModule() {
    override fun configure() {
        bind<Service>().to<ServiceImpl>().`in`<Singleton>()
        bind<PaymentService<CreditCard>>().to<CreditCardPaymentService>()
        bind<CreditCardProcessor>().annotatedWith<PayPal>().to<PayPalCreditCardProcessor>()
    }
}
```

The `KotlinPrivateModule` can also be used if only some bindings need to be exposed.

```kotlin
import dev.misfitlabs.kotlinguice4.KotlinPrivateModule

class MyPrivateModule : KotlinPrivateModule() {
    override fun configure() {
        bind<Service>().to<ServiceImpl>().`in`<Singleton>()
        bind<PaymentService<CreditCard>>().to<CreditCardPaymentService>()
        bind<CreditCardProcessor>().annotatedWith<PayPal>().to<PayPalCreditCardProcessor>()
        
        expose<PaymentService<CreditCard>>()
    }
}
```

### Injector

The Guice injector has been enhanced with extension methods to make direct use of the injector better from Kotlin.

```kotlin
import dev.misfitlabs.kotlinguice4.annotatedKey
import dev.misfitlabs.kotlinguice4.getInstance

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
  val injector = Guice.createInjector(MyModule(), MyPrivateModule())
  
  val paymentService = injector.getInstance<PaymentService<CreditCard>>()
  
  // Use the annotatedKey to get an annotated instance
  val payPalProcessor = injector.getInstance(annotatedKey<CreditCardProcessor, PayPayl>())
}
```

### Key and TypeLiteral

Package level functions are included to enhance creating `Key` and `TypeLiteral` instances from kotlin.

```kotlin
import dev.misfitlabs.kotlinguice4.annotatedKey
import dev.misfitlabs.kotlinguice4.key
import dev.misfitlabs.kotlinguice4.typeLiteral

val key = key<String>()
val annotatedKey = annotatedKey<String, SomeAnnotation>()
val sameAnnotatedDifferentKey = annotatedKey.getType<Long>()

val listType = typeLiteral<PaymentService<CreditCrd>>()
```

### Multibindings

As of version 1.4.1 the kotlin-guice-multibindings module is gone and the functionality has been merged into kotlin-guice.

#### Usage

```kotlin
val multibinder = KotlinMultibinder.newSetBinder<Snack>(kotlinBinder)
multibinder.addBinding().to<Twix>()

val mapbinder = KotlinMapBinder.newMapBinder<String, Snack>(kotlinBinder)
mapbinder.addBinding("twix").to<Twix>()
```

With Guice 4.2+, scanning for methods with the multibinding annotations `ProvidesIntoSet`, `ProvidesIntoMap`, and `ProvidesIntoOptional` is enabled by default. However, the default scanner only provides bindings for Java collection types. In order to get bindings for Kotlin collection types, install the `KotlinMultibindingsScanner`.

```kotlin
install(KotlinMultibindingsScanner.asModule())
```
