[dry-rails] Dependency Injection configuration

Support
1

I’ve just started experimenting with dependency injection in an existing Rails app.
The idea is to incrementally convert more code to use dependency injection.
For that I am using dry-rails gem and auto registration in particular

Here are my questions:

  1. How do I have multiple separate containers in the same rails app ?

This is needed in order to create clear separation between different domains of my application.

  1. Is there an option to integrate dry-system into rails without dry-rails ?

dry-rails introduces other features and dependencies that I don’t need for DI containers. However dry-rails provides seamless integration with rails which I need. Probably I was looking for a slim version of dry-rails.

  1. Is there an option to register only classes from some specific folders under “/lib” instead of the whole “/lib” folder ?

I’ve tried in my rails application called “Athena”:

# config/initializers/system.rb
Dry::Rails.container do
  auto_register!("app/domain")
  auto_register!("lib/callbacks")
end

Folder structure is:

/app
  /domain
      /callbacks
             /use_case
                   callback_create_command.rb
/lib
      /callbacks
              callback_repository.rb
      /test_helpers

Classes:

# /lib/callbacks/callback_repository.rb

module Callbacks
  class CallbackRepository
  end
end

# /app/domain/callbacks/use_case/callback_create_command.rb

module Callbacks
  module UseCase
    class CallbackCreateCommand
       include Athena::Deps[:callback_repository]
    end
end

This fails “bin/rails console”.
“Dry::System::FileNotFoundError: could not resolve require file for callbacks.callback_repository”

During wrong configuration of container “bin/rails console” may take very long to even start printing anything to console. Sometimes it does not return at all after more than a minute. I had to close the terminal window altogether and open a new one. Or interrupt the console with Ctrl+C.
