Class AbstractModule

java.lang.Object

com.google.inject.AbstractModule

All Implemented Interfaces:

Module

public abstract class AbstractModule
extends Object
implements Module

AbstractModule is a helper class used to add bindings to the Guice injector.

Simply extend this class, then you can add bindings by either defining @Provides methods (see https://github.com/google/guice/wiki/ProvidesMethods) or implementing configure(), and calling the inherited methods which mirror those found in Binder. For example:

public class MyModule extends AbstractModule {
  protected void configure() {
    bind(Service.class).to(ServiceImpl.class).in(Singleton.class);
    bind(CreditCardPaymentService.class);
    bind(PaymentService.class).to(CreditCardPaymentService.class);
    bindConstant().annotatedWith(Names.named("port")).to(8080);
  }
}

Method Details

configure

public final void configure(Binder builder)

Description copied from interface: Module

Contributes bindings and other configurations for this module to binder.

Do not invoke this method directly to install submodules. Instead use Binder.install(Module), which ensures that provider methods are discovered.

Specified by:

configure in interface Module

configure

protected void configure()

Configures a Binder via the exposed methods.

binder

protected Binder binder()

Gets direct access to the underlying Binder.

 Scope scope)

requireBinding

protected void requireBinding(Key<?> key)

Adds a dependency from this module to key. When the injector is created, Guice will report an error if key cannot be injected. Note that this requirement may be satisfied by implicit binding, such as a public no-arguments constructor.

Since:

2.0

requireBinding

protected void requireBinding(Class<?> type)

Adds a dependency from this module to type. When the injector is created, Guice will report an error if type cannot be injected. Note that this requirement may be satisfied by implicit binding, such as a public no-arguments constructor.

Since:

2.0
