[inversify-express-utils] allow to inject dependencies into middleware constructor about inversify-express-utils HOT 2 OPEN

hey @b1ff .

I saw that you've made a PR for this. but it's already possible to do this in inversify-express-utils. Let me give you an example.

@injectable()
export class AuthorizationMiddleware extends BaseMiddleware {
  @inject(TYPES.USER_REPOSITORY)
  private readonly userRepository!: EntityRepository<User>;

  constructor(
    @inject(TYPES.USER_REPOSITORY)
    private readonly userRepositoryFromConstructor: EntityRepository<User>
  ) {
    super();
  }

  public handler(_req: Request, _res: Response, next: NextFunction): void {
    console.log(this.userRepository);
    console.log(this.userRepositoryFromConstructor);
    next();
  }
}

And then for the container binding

container.bind(AuthorizationMiddleware).toSelf();

Is this what you were looking for ?

@PodaruDragos hey there, not really. The issue is when I do

this.bind(..).to...();

in middleware, I cannot inject it using constructor to middleware. I have to use httpContext.containter.get(). While it works as workaround, it is better from testability and cleanness to inject it via middleware constructor, even if it was bound to container on httpContext.
You might see that behavior in test that I have added.
