A lightweight dependency injection framework for Swift, inspired by KOIN and using the service-locator pattern.
DIKit is a dependency injection framework for Swift, inspired by KOIN, that implements the service-locator pattern within an application's context. It helps developers manage dependencies in a modular and type-safe way, reducing boilerplate and improving code testability. The framework allows defining dependencies in containers and injecting them via properties or constructors.
Swift developers building iOS, macOS, or other Apple platform applications who need a lightweight and flexible dependency injection solution. It's suitable for projects of any size, from small apps to larger modular codebases.
Developers choose DIKit for its simplicity, type safety, and modular design, which avoids the overhead of more complex DI frameworks. Its inspiration from KOIN and support for tags and multiple injection styles provide flexibility without sacrificing ease of use.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Allows defining dependencies in reusable modules like .backend and .network, promoting clean separation of concerns and scalable code organization as shown in the README examples.
Supports property injection with @Inject, @LazyInject, @OptionalInject, and constructor injection via resolve(), catering to diverse coding styles and use cases.
Enables resolving different instances of the same type using hashable tags, ideal for managing contextual dependencies such as storage contexts without type duplication.
Leverages Swift's type system to ensure dependencies are correctly resolved at compile time, reducing runtime errors and enhancing code reliability.
Implements a service-locator pattern that can hide dependencies, making code less transparent and potentially complicating testing and maintenance compared to pure constructor injection.
The README provides only basic and advanced usage snippets, lacking comprehensive guides on error handling or best practices, and as a smaller project, it has less community support than alternatives.
Requires explicit registration of dependencies in AppDelegate or similar entry points before app initialization, adding boilerplate code and risk of misconfiguration for large projects.
