Usage Notes

The following example creates a service injector instance.

class Square {          name = 'square';        }        const injector = Injector.create({providers: [{provide: Square, deps: []}]});        const shape: Square = injector.get(Square);        expect(shape.name).toEqual('square');        expect(shape instanceof Square).toBe(true);

Usage example

const injector: Injector = Injector.create({        providers: [{provide: 'validToken', useValue: 'Value'}],      });      expect(injector.get('validToken')).toEqual('Value');      expect(() => injector.get('invalidToken')).toThrowError();      expect(injector.get('invalidToken', 'notFound')).toEqual('notFound');

Injector returns itself when given Injector as a token:

const injector = Injector.create({providers: []});      expect(injector.get(Injector)).toBe(injector);
