is there a way to specify constructor args when registering a class? about poodinis HOT 3 CLOSED

Your second example hits close to how you can solve this:

SessionFactory sf = new SessionFactoryImpl(mySchema, mysqlDialect, myDatasource);
auto container = DependencyContainer.getInstance();
container.register!(SessionFactory).existingInstance(sf);

See TUTORIAL.md (Dependency scopes) for more details.

Constructor injection is on my list of features I want to look at in the future as well as simplified integration with libraries which weren't made with dependency injection in mind.

thanks, I ended up spotting that in one of the unit tests and tried it out and found that I couldn't use it with my version of dmd. So I've now updated to dmd v2.069.2 but that breaks hibernated, so I'm now waiting to see if they release a new update.

My day job is mostly Java with Spring, so I'd really like to be able to use more of the convenient features I'm used to having.

As well as constructor injection I'd really like to have the ability to essentially do an annotated app context. So Configuration, Value, and Bean or something similar with the Service and Component annotations.

Jpa style orm is my main need though. Do you have any plans to do something like: poodinis-orm?

Annotated context configuration and eventually auto-scanning are on my list of things I will look at in the future. Unfortunately D's runtime (and compile-time) reflection capabilities are not as flexible as that of Java's so anything meta-programming related takes some more effort to work out.

I have no plans for integration with (jpa-like) ORM frameworks as of yet since my primary use only involves integration within my own frameworks. Whenever I have to integrate with an external library I write a service around it.
