What is it? Dependency Injection is a design pattern whereby an object/module’s dependencies are provided to it. It is one of several techniques for implementing Inversion of Control.
So rather than:
func NewClient() *Client { return &Client{ Service: service.NewService(), } } You would have:
func NewClient(service *service.Service) *Client { return &Client{ Service: service, } } Why tho?? If you wanted to write a test for the Client first example above, you wouldn’t be able to mock it’s Service.
Yesterday I learned a neat trick with Visual Studio Code when working on some PowerShell scripts to help orchestrate build and deployment of our projects (more on that in a different post). I knew that VSCode had a debugger, but I didn’t realize that a debugger for PowerShell had been added via an extension.
I had installed this extension some time ago to help with writing PowerShell scripts in VSCode, but I was running my PowerShell prompt in another window to actually test them.
A couple months ago I decided I needed to be better about telling my wonderful wife how much I loved her on a daily basis. Being the nerd that I am I decided to tackle this using IFTTT and a custom web app. For this project I went with Django to build my app out. I’d never used it before so I wanted a chance to play with it.
