/**
* An API to bind optional values, optionally with a default value. OptionalBinder fulfills two
* roles:
*
*
* - It allows a framework to define an injection point that may or may not be bound by users.
*
- It allows a framework to supply a default value that can be changed by users.
*
*
* When an OptionalBinder is added, it will always supply the bindings: {@code Optional} and
* {@code Optional>}. If {@link #setBinding} or {@link #setDefault} are called, it will
* also bind {@code T}.
*
* {@code setDefault} is intended for use by frameworks that need a default value. User code can
* call {@code setBinding} to override the default. Warning: Even if setBinding is called, the
* default binding will still exist in the object graph. If it is a singleton, it will be
* instantiated in {@code Stage.PRODUCTION}.
*
*
If setDefault or setBinding are linked to Providers, the Provider may return {@code null}. If
* it does, {@code Optional} will be bound to an absent Optional. Binding setBinding to a
* Provider that returns null will not cause OptionalBinder to fall back to the setDefault binding.
*
* If neither setDefault nor setBinding are called, it will try to link to a user-supplied
* binding of the same type. If no binding exists, the optionals will be absent. Otherwise, if a
* user-supplied binding of that type exists, or if setBinding or setDefault are called, the
* optionals will return present if they are bound to a non-null value.
*
*
Values are resolved at injection time. If a value is bound to a provider, that provider's get
* method will be called each time the optional is injected (unless the binding is also scoped, or
* an optional of provider is injected).
*
*
Annotations are used to create different optionals of the same key/value type. Each distinct
* annotation gets its own independent binding.
*
*
* public class FrameworkModule extends AbstractModule {
* protected void configure() {
* OptionalBinder.newOptionalBinder(binder(), Renamer.class);
* }
* }
*
* With this module, an {@link Optional}{@code } can now be injected. With no other
* bindings, the optional will be absent. Users can specify bindings in one of two ways:
*
* Option 1:
*
*
* public class UserRenamerModule extends AbstractModule {
* protected void configure() {
* bind(Renamer.class).to(ReplacingRenamer.class);
* }
* }
*
* or Option 2:
*
*
* public class UserRenamerModule extends AbstractModule {
* protected void configure() {
* OptionalBinder.newOptionalBinder(binder(), Renamer.class)
* .setBinding().to(ReplacingRenamer.class);
* }
* }
*
* With both options, the {@code Optional} will be present and supply the ReplacingRenamer.
*
* Default values can be supplied using:
*
*
* public class FrameworkModule extends AbstractModule {
* protected void configure() {
* OptionalBinder.newOptionalBinder(binder(), Key.get(String.class, LookupUrl.class))
* .setDefault().toInstance(DEFAULT_LOOKUP_URL);
* }
* }
*
* With the above module, code can inject an {@code @LookupUrl String} and it will supply the
* DEFAULT_LOOKUP_URL. A user can change this value by binding
*
*
* public class UserLookupModule extends AbstractModule {
* protected void configure() {
* OptionalBinder.newOptionalBinder(binder(), Key.get(String.class, LookupUrl.class))
* .setBinding().toInstance(CUSTOM_LOOKUP_URL);
* }
* }
*
* ... which will override the default value.
*
* If one module uses setDefault the only way to override the default is to use setBinding. It is
* an error for a user to specify the binding without using OptionalBinder if setDefault or
* setBinding are called. For example,
*
*
* public class FrameworkModule extends AbstractModule {
* protected void configure() {
* OptionalBinder.newOptionalBinder(binder(), Key.get(String.class, LookupUrl.class))
* .setDefault().toInstance(DEFAULT_LOOKUP_URL);
* }
* }
* public class UserLookupModule extends AbstractModule {
* protected void configure() {
* bind(Key.get(String.class, LookupUrl.class)).toInstance(CUSTOM_LOOKUP_URL);
* }
* }
*
* ... would generate an error, because both the framework and the user are trying to bind
* {@code @LookupUrl String}.
