Sting is a fast, easy to use, compile-time dependency injection toolkit. If you are familiar with Dagger, it is a replacement for Dagger that is more optimized for the web context and GWT/J2CL.
We have been developing Sting for a while as we were not satisfied with existing solutions but we have recently reached a point where we have replaced all of our existing dependency injection solutions (GIN, Dagger2 and some home-grown variants) with Sting and we think it is ready for other people to give it a try. So we are looking for feedback from anyone who is interested in giving it a try. We have set up a documentation site at https://sting-ioc.github.io/docs/overview.html But to get a feel for what the code looks like. A component is defined by adding the @Injectable annotation to the class such as: @Injectable class MyFancyService { ... } However, we also support a @Named annotation and @Typed annotation that is similar in practice to the same-named annotations in CDI applications that add a qualifier to a component or control the types with which a component is published. We also support an @Eager annotation to ensure a component is instantiated when the injector is constructed. We also have the equivalent of daggers modules in the form of fragments where you can programmatically create components by writing code such as GWT.create(MyBackendServiceAsync.class) So why choose Sting over something like Dagger? We did write up a comparison at https://sting-ioc.github.io/docs/dagger.html However, it is a little blunt and I will probably soften the points in it a little (it was written for an internal audience initially). The main reason to adopt Sting is that it is easier to use and it produces smaller, faster and easier to optimize code. Anyhoo, if anyone is looking for a dependency injection framework, here is another to try and we would really appreciate the feedback.
