# Quick start
## Main components DI
### Binding
Binding is a custom instance configurator that contains methods for configuring a dependency.
2021-12-10 22:04:51 +03:00
There are two main methods for initializing a custom instance `toInstance ()` and `toProvide ()` and auxiliary `withName ()` and `singleton ()` .
2021-04-23 08:43:10 +03:00
`toInstance()` - takes a initialized instance
`toProvide()` - takes a `provider` function (instance constructor)
`withName()` - takes a string to name the instance. By this name, it will be possible to extract instance from the DI container
2021-12-10 22:04:51 +03:00
`singleton()` - sets a flag in the Binding that tells the DI container that there is only one dependency.

Example:
```dart
// initializing a text string instance through a method toInstance()
Binding< String > ().toInstance("hello world");
// or
// initializing a text string instance
Binding< String > ().toProvide(() => "hello world");
// initializing an instance of a string named
Binding< String > ().withName("my_string").toInstance("hello world");
// or
Binding< String > ().withName("my_string").toProvide(() => "hello world");
// instance initialization like singleton
Binding< String > ().toInstance("hello world");
// or
2021-12-10 22:04:51 +03:00
Binding< String > ().toProvide(() => "hello world").singleton();

```
### Module
Module is a container of user instances, and on the basis of which the user can create their modules. The user in his module must implement the `void builder (Scope currentScope)` method.
Example:
```dart
class AppModule extends Module {
@override
void builder(Scope currentScope) {
bind< ApiClient > ().toInstance(ApiClientMock());
}
}
```
### Scope
Scope is a container that stores the entire dependency tree (scope, modules, instances).
Through the scope, you can access the custom `instance` , for this you need to call the `resolve<T>()` method and specify the type of the object, and you can also pass additional parameters.
Example:
```dart
// open main scope
2021-04-26 14:56:09 +03:00
final rootScope = Cherrypick.openRootScope();
2021-04-23 08:43:10 +03:00
// initializing scope with a custom module
rootScope.installModules([AppModule()]);
// takes custom instance
final str = rootScope.resolve< String > ();
// or
final str = rootScope.tryResolve< String > ();
2025-08-01 15:07:12 +03:00
// Recommended: Close the root scope & automatically release all Disposable resources
await Cherrypick.closeRootScope();
// Or, for advanced/manual scenarios:
// await rootScope.dispose();
```
### Automatic resource management (`Disposable`, `dispose`)
If your service implements the `Disposable` interface, CherryPick will automatically await `dispose()` when you close a scope.
**Best practice:**
Always finish your work with `await Cherrypick.closeRootScope()` (for the root scope) or `await scope.closeSubScope('feature')` (for subscopes).
These methods will automatically await `dispose()` on all resolved objects implementing `Disposable` , ensuring safe and complete cleanup (sync and async).
Manual `await scope.dispose()` is available if you manage scopes yourself.
#### Example
```dart
class MyService implements Disposable {
@override
FutureOr< void > dispose() async {
// release resources, close connections, perform async shutdown, etc.
print('MyService disposed!');
}
}
final scope = openRootScope();
scope.installModules([
ModuleImpl(),
]);
final service = scope.resolve< MyService > ();
// ... use service
// Recommended:
await Cherrypick.closeRootScope(); // will print: MyService disposed!
// Or, to close a subscope:
await scope.closeSubScope('feature');
class ModuleImpl extends Module {
@override
void builder(Scope scope) {
bind< MyService > ().toProvide(() => MyService()).singleton();
}
}
2021-04-23 08:43:10 +03:00
```
2025-08-08 08:13:58 +03:00
## Logging
To enable logging of all dependency injection (DI) events and errors in CherryPick, set the global logger before creating your scopes:
```dart
import 'package:cherrypick/cherrypick.dart';
void main() {
// Set a global logger before any scopes are created
CherryPick.setGlobalLogger(PrintLogger()); // or your own custom logger
final scope = CherryPick.openRootScope();
// All DI events and cycle errors will now be sent to your logger
}
```
- By default, CherryPick uses SilentLogger (no output in production).
- Any dependency resolution, scope events, or cycle detection errors are logged via info/error on your logger.

## Example app
```dart
import 'dart:async';
import 'package:meta/meta.dart';
2021-10-20 09:17:10 +03:00
import 'package:cherrypick/cherrypick.dart';

class AppModule extends Module {
@override
void builder(Scope currentScope) {
bind< ApiClient > ().withName("apiClientMock").toInstance(ApiClientMock());
bind< ApiClient > ().withName("apiClientImpl").toInstance(ApiClientImpl());
}
}
class FeatureModule extends Module {
bool isMock;
FeatureModule({required this.isMock});
@override
void builder(Scope currentScope) {
bind< DataRepository > ()
.withName("networkRepo")
.toProvide(
() => NetworkDataRepository(
currentScope.resolve< ApiClient > (
named: isMock ? "apiClientMock" : "apiClientImpl",
),
),
)
2021-12-10 22:04:51 +03:00
.singleton();
2021-04-23 08:43:10 +03:00
bind< DataBloc > ().toProvide(
() => DataBloc(
currentScope.resolve< DataRepository > (named: "networkRepo"),
),
);
}
}

onError: (e) => print('Error: $e'), onDone: () => print('DONE'));
await dataBloc.fetchData();
