Properties

Property	Description
provide: Type<any>	An injection token. Typically an instance of Type or InjectionToken, but can be any.
multi?: boolean	When true, injector returns an array of instances. This is useful to allow multiple providers spread across many files to provide configuration information to a common token.

Usage notes

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);

Multi-value example

const locale = new InjectionToken<string[]>('locale');
const injector = Injector.create([
  {provide: locale, multi: true, useValue: 'en'},
  {provide: locale, multi: true, useValue: 'sk'},
]);

const locales: string[] = injector.get(locale);
expect(locales).toEqual(['en', 'sk']);
