Static methods

create()

Create a new Injector which is configure using StaticProviders.

static create(providers: StaticProvider[], parent?: Injector): Injector

Deprecated from v5 use the new signature Injector.create(options)

Injector

static create(options: { providers: StaticProvider[]; parent?: Injector; name?: string; }): Injector

options object
Returns

Injector

Usage Notes

Example
class Square {
  name = 'square';
}

const injector = Injector.create({providers: [{provide: Square, deps: []}]});

const shape: Square = injector.get(Square);
expect(shape.name).toEqual('square');
expect(shape instanceof Square).toBe(true);

Methods

get()

Retrieves an instance from the injector based on the provided token.

abstract get<T>(token: Type<T> | InjectionToken<T>, notFoundValue?: T, flags?: InjectFlags): T

Parameters
token Type | InjectionToken
notFoundValue T

Optional. Default is undefined.
flags InjectFlags

Optional. Default is undefined.
Returns

T: The instance from the injector if defined, otherwise the notFoundValue.

Throws

Error When the notFoundValue is undefined or Injector.THROW_IF_NOT_FOUND.

abstract get(token: any, notFoundValue?: any): any

Deprecated from v4.0.0 use Type or InjectionToken

Parameters
token any
notFoundValue any

Optional. Default is undefined.
Returns

any

Usage notes

Example

const injector: Injector =
    Injector.create({providers: [{provide: 'validToken', useValue: 'Value'}]});
expect(injector.get('validToken')).toEqual('Value');
expect(() => injector.get('invalidToken')).toThrowError();
expect(injector.get('invalidToken', 'notFound')).toEqual('notFound');

Injector returns itself when given Injector as a token:

const injector = Injector.create({providers: []});
expect(injector.get(Injector)).toBe(injector);
