Dagger 2

Introduction

Dagger is made by Google. Dagger allows you to

• Scope dependencies
• Bind single instance to life cycles
• Only need to build them once
• Generates the code at compile time

Example Without Dagger

fun buildCar: Car =  
    Car(SturdyFrame(),
    Wheels(),
    RocketEngine())

With Dagger

fun buildCar: Car = 
    DaggerAppComponent
    .builder()
    .build()
    .buildCar()

Modules

Modules in Dagger are responsible for providing object we want to inject. They contain the methods which return the objects.
