Comparison to other frameworks

Here is how Lagom compares to other frameworks on a few key issues that lagom focuses on. The primary goal of Lagom was to provide type based auto wiring.

Framework Supports name based auto wiring Supports type based auto wiring Supports Async Avoids alteration of domain code Exports useful types
Lagom
Pinject
Injector (✔) requires subtle alteration
Dependency Injector

Points of comparison

Supports name based auto wiring

Does the framework support automatic injection of dependencies base on name. For example if pinject sees an argument called some_dep and a class SomeDep it will automatically inject it.

Supports type based auto wiring

Does the framework support automatic injection of dependencies based on type. For example if a constructor needs an instance of MyDep can one be automatically constructed without configuration.

Supports Async

Does it work with async defs.

Avoids alteration of domain code

Can code be configured either automatically or configured externally without apply special decorators or makers to class constructors.

Exports useful types

Do the functions of the framework export type information useable by mypy.
