Injector

class

Concrete injectors implement this interface. Injectors are configured with providers that associate dependencies of various types with injection tokens.

abstract class Injector {
  static THROW_IF_NOT_FOUND: THROW_IF_NOT_FOUND
  static NULL: Injector
  static create(options: StaticProvider[] | { providers: StaticProvider[]; parent?: Injector; name?: string; }, parent?: Injector): Injector
  abstract get<T>(token: ProviderToken<T>, notFoundValue?: T, flags?: InjectFlags): T
}

abstract get<T>(token: ProviderToken<T>, notFoundValue?: T, flags?: InjectFlags): T

Parameters
token ProviderToken
notFoundValue T

Optional. Default is undefined.

flags InjectFlags

Optional. Default is undefined.

Returns

T: The instance from the injector if defined, otherwise the notFoundValue.

Throws

Error When the notFoundValue is undefined or Injector.THROW_IF_NOT_FOUND.

abstract get(token: any, notFoundValue?: any): any

Deprecated from v4.0.0 use ProviderToken

Parameters
token any
notFoundValue any

Optional. Default is undefined.

Returns

any

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);
