/**
* Provides a factory that combines the caller's arguments with injector-supplied values to
* construct objects.
*
* Defining a factory
*
* Create an interface whose methods return the constructed type, or any of its supertypes. The
* method's parameters are the arguments required to build the constructed type.
*
* public interface PaymentFactory {
* Payment create(Date startDate, Money amount);
* }
*
* You can name your factory methods whatever you like, such as create, createPayment
* or newPayment.
*
* Creating a type that accepts factory parameters
*
* {@code constructedType} is a concrete class with an {@literal @}{@link com.google.inject.Inject
* Inject}-annotated constructor. In addition to injector-supplied parameters, the constructor
* should have parameters that match each of the factory method's parameters. Each factory-supplied
* parameter requires an {@literal @}{@link Assisted} annotation. This serves to document that the
* parameter is not bound by your application's modules.
*
* public class RealPayment implements Payment {
* {@literal @}Inject
* public RealPayment(
* CreditService creditService,
* AuthService authService,
* {@literal @}Assisted Date startDate,
* {@literal @}Assisted Money amount) {
* ...
* }
* }
*
* Multiple factory methods for the same type
*
* If the factory contains many methods that return the same type, you can create multiple
* constructors in your concrete class, each constructor marked with with {@literal @}{@link
* AssistedInject}, in order to match the different parameters types of the factory methods.
*
* public interface PaymentFactory {
* Payment create(Date startDate, Money amount);
* Payment createWithoutDate(Money amount);
* }
*
* public class RealPayment implements Payment {
* {@literal @}AssistedInject
* public RealPayment(
* CreditService creditService,
* AuthService authService,
* {@literal @}Assisted Date startDate,
* {@literal @}Assisted Money amount) {
* ...
* }
*
* {@literal @}AssistedInject
* public RealPayment(
* CreditService creditService,
* AuthService authService,
* {@literal @}Assisted Money amount) {
* ...
* }
* }
*
* Configuring simple factories
*
* In your {@link Module module}, install a {@code FactoryModuleBuilder} that creates the factory:
*
* install(new FactoryModuleBuilder()
* .implement(Payment.class, RealPayment.class)
* .build(PaymentFactory.class));
*
* As a side-effect of this binding, Guice will inject the factory to initialize it for use. The
* factory cannot be used until the injector has been initialized.
*
* Configuring complex factories
*
* Factories can create an arbitrary number of objects, one per each method. Each factory method can
* be configured using .implement
.
*
* public interface OrderFactory {
* Payment create(Date startDate, Money amount);
* Shipment create(Customer customer, Item item);
* Receipt create(Payment payment, Shipment shipment);
* }
*
* [...]
*
* install(new FactoryModuleBuilder()
* .implement(Payment.class, RealPayment.class)
* // excluding .implement for Shipment means the implementation class
* // will be 'Shipment' itself, which is legal if it's not an interface.
* .implement(Receipt.class, RealReceipt.class)
* .build(OrderFactory.class));
*
*
*
* Using the factory
* * Inject your factory into your application classes. When you use the factory, your arguments will * be combined with values from the injector to construct an instance. * *public class PaymentAction { * {@literal @}Inject private PaymentFactory paymentFactory; * * public void doPayment(Money amount) { * Payment payment = paymentFactory.create(new Date(), amount); * payment.apply(); * } * }* *
Making parameter types distinct
* * The types of the factory method's parameters must be distinct. To use multiple parameters of the * same type, use a named {@literal @}{@link Assisted} annotation to disambiguate the parameters. * The names must be applied to the factory method's parameters: * *public interface PaymentFactory { * Payment create( * {@literal @}Assisted("startDate") Date startDate, * {@literal @}Assisted("dueDate") Date dueDate, * Money amount); * }* * ...and to the concrete type's constructor parameters: * *
public class RealPayment implements Payment { * {@literal @}Inject * public RealPayment( * CreditService creditService, * AuthService authService, * {@literal @}Assisted("startDate") Date startDate, * {@literal @}Assisted("dueDate") Date dueDate, * {@literal @}Assisted Money amount) { * ... * } * }* *
Values are created by Guice
* * Returned factories use child injectors to create values. The values are eligible for method * interception. In addition, {@literal @}{@literal Inject} members will be injected before they are * returned. * *More configuration options
* * In addition to simply specifying an implementation class for any returned type, factories' return * values can be automatic or can be configured to use annotations: * *If you just want to return the types specified in the factory, do not configure any * implementations: * *
public interface FruitFactory { * Apple getApple(Color color); * } * ... * protected void configure() { * install(new FactoryModuleBuilder().build(FruitFactory.class)); * }* * Note that any type returned by the factory in this manner needs to be an implementation class. * *
To return two different implementations for the same interface from your factory, use binding * annotations on your return types: * *
interface CarFactory { * {@literal @}Named("fast") Car getFastCar(Color color); * {@literal @}Named("clean") Car getCleanCar(Color color); * } * ... * protected void configure() { * install(new FactoryModuleBuilder() * .implement(Car.class, Names.named("fast"), Porsche.class) * .implement(Car.class, Names.named("clean"), Prius.class) * .build(CarFactory.class)); * }* *
