Please tell me why is this Guicier than Guicie?

Never thought I'd ask that on Github...

Hey @darrenhaken thanks for the question! This package was initially extracted from https://github.com/HubSpot/Singularity where it was added by @hgschmie in this PR. The design is a large departure from its predecessor, https://github.com/HubSpot/dropwizard-guice, which is why it's a separate project and wasn't integrated into dropwizard-guice.

The most notable change is that the injector is created during the run phase rather than the initialize phase. This makes it much easier to run Guice in Stage.PRODUCTION with eager bindings. Additionally, it does away with the concept of auto-discovered HealthCheck, Managed, Task, etc. It does, however, take any of these classes bound in Guice and register them with dropwizard.

In general, this repo favors eagerness and explicitness, whereas dropwizard-guice encouraged implicit magic and laziness.

Are you planning on support Guicier in the future?

I'm working on a greenfield Dropwizard project right now and looking to integrate DI into it.

[jhaber]

Yup, we'll be keeping it up to date with dropwizard releases

[darrenhaken]

That's great! I ran into some issues using the library, if I post a Gist and open an issue will you be able to help?

[jhaber]

For sure!

Brilliant I'll post it in the next couple of days. Thanks for the speedy reply 👍
