Limitations¶

@AutoInitializable objects must be @Singleton scoped¶

For now, all initializable objects must be @Singleton scoped.

This is because the semantics are unclear if an objects are not scoped since AutoDaggerInitializable is not scoped so creating multiple instances of AutoDaggerInitializable would created multiple instances of unscoped objects which might be unexpected.

This limitation might be lifted in the future. If you have a use case for unscoped objects please file an issue.

@AutoBind objects must not be generic¶

Since Auto Dagger cannot determine actual type arguments, generic objects cannot be automatically bound.

@AutoBind only supports direct supertypes¶

You can only bind objects to their direct supertypes. For example this isn't supported:

interface Closeable

interface Repository : Closeable

// This won't work because `RealRepository` doesn't 
// directly implement `Closeable`
@AutoBindIntoSet(asTypes = [Closeable::class])
@Singleton
class RealRepository @Inject constructor() : Repository

To solve this just add an explicit supertype:

@AutoBindIntoSet(asTypes = [Closeable::class])
@Singleton
class RealRepository @Inject constructor() : Repository, Closeable
