# Dimwiddle

A lightweight dependency injection framework for Python inspired by the Symfony Framework.

## Features

- **YAML Configuration**: Define your services in a clean, readable YAML format
- **Autowiring**: Automatically inject dependencies into your services
- **Factories**: Use factory services to create complex service instances
- **Tagged Services**: Group related services together with tags
- **Environment Variables**: Inject configuration from environment variables
- **Clean Architecture**: Organized following clean architecture principles

## Installation

```bash
pip install dimwiddle
```

Or install from the repository:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/example/dimwiddle.git
cd dimwiddle
pip install -e .
```

## Quick Start

### 1. Define your services in YAML

Create a `services.yaml` file:

```yaml
services:
  # Basic service
  greeting:
    class: myapp.services.greeting_service.GreetingService
    arguments: ["Hello, %USER_NAME%!"]

  # Service with dependency
  greeter:
    class: myapp.services.greeter.Greeter
    arguments: ["@greeting"]
```

### 2. Create your service classes

```python
# myapp/services/greeting_service.py
class GreetingService:
    def __init__(self, greeting_format):
        self.greeting_format = greeting_format
        
    def greet(self, name):
        return self.greeting_format.format(name=name)

# myapp/services/greeter.py
class Greeter:
    def __init__(self, greeting_service):
        self.greeting_service = greeting_service
        
    def greet_user(self, user):
        return self.greeting_service.greet(user)
```

### 3. Load the container and use your services

```python
from dimwiddle.application.load_definitions import create_container_from_yaml
from dimwiddle.infrastructure.config import EnvConfig

# Create a container with environment variables
config = EnvConfig(dotenv_path=".env")
container = create_container_from_yaml("services.yaml", config=config)

# Get a service
greeter = container.get("greeter")
print(greeter.greet_user("World"))  # Hello, World!
```

## Service Definition

Services are defined in YAML with the following properties:

- `class`: The fully qualified class name
- `arguments`: List (positional) or dict (named) of constructor arguments
- `factory`: A two-element list: service reference and method name
- `tags`: List of tags to categorize this service
- `inject_class`: If true, inject the class itself instead of an instance

## Argument References

Dimwiddle supports special syntax in service arguments:

- `@service_name`: Reference to another service
- `%ENV_VAR%`: Reference to an environment variable
- `!tagged_iterator { tag: tag_name, index_by: property }`: Collection of services with a tag
- `~path/to/file.yaml:subpath.to.value`: Reference to a value in another YAML file

## Configuration

The library uses an abstract configuration provider that can be implemented in different ways:

```python
from dimwiddle.infrastructure.config import EnvConfig, DictConfig

# Load configuration from environment variables and .env file
config = EnvConfig(dotenv_path=".env")

# Or use a dictionary for configuration
config = DictConfig({
    "API_KEY": "my-api-key",
    "DEBUG": "true"
})
```

## Testing

Dimwiddle is designed to be easily testable. You can create test containers with mock services:

```python
from dimwiddle.domain.container import Container
from dimwiddle.domain.service_definition import ServiceDefinition

# Create mock services
definitions = {
    "mock_service": ServiceDefinition(
        cls=MockService,
        pos_args=["test value"]
    )
}

# Create container with mocks
container = Container(definitions)
```

## Examples

See the `examples` directory for complete working examples, including:

- Basic service definitions
- Service dependencies
- Factory-based services
- Tagged services
- Configuration injection
