dropwizard-guicier

dropwizard-guicier is a Dropwizard bundle designed to simplify Google Guice integration within Dropwizard-based Java applications. It streamlines dependency injection setup, making it easier to manage application components and configurations in a structured way.

Key Features

• Configuration-Aware Injection — The injector is created during the run phase, allowing eager singletons to access Configuration and Environment objects.
• DropwizardAwareModule — Modules can extend this class to gain access to Bootstrap, Configuration, and Environment within the configure method for conditional binding.
• Automatic Registration — Any Managed, Task, HealthCheck, or ServerLifecycleListener bound in Guice as eager singletons is automatically added to Dropwizard.
• Strict Binding Mode — By default, enforces explicit bindings and disables just-in-time bindings to promote cleaner, more maintainable code (can be opted out).

Philosophy

The project emphasizes explicit, configuration-aware dependency injection, moving away from auto-configuration patterns to encourage clearer, more predictable application structure.
