### Performance Improvements
> **Performance Note:**
> **Starting from version 3.0.0**, CherryPick uses a Map-based resolver index for dependency lookup. This means calls to `resolve<T>()` and related methods are now O(1) operations, regardless of the number of modules or bindings in your scope. Previously, the library had to iterate over all modules and bindings to locate the requested dependency, which could impact performance as your project grew.

### Dependency Resolution API
## Advanced Features
- `resolve<T>()` — Locates a dependency instance or throws if missing.
- `resolveAsync<T>()` — Async variant for dependencies requiring async binding.
- `tryResolve<T>()` — Returns `null` if not found (sync).
- `tryResolveAsync<T>()` — Returns `null` async if not found.
### Hierarchical Subscopes
Supports:
- Synchronous and asynchronous dependencies
- Named dependencies
- Provider functions with and without runtime parameters
CherryPick supports a hierarchical structure of scopes, allowing you to create complex and modular dependency graphs for advanced application architectures. Each subscope inherits from its parent, enabling context-specific overrides while still allowing access to global or shared services.
#### Key Points
- **Subscopes** are child scopes that can be opened from any existing scope (including the root).
- Dependencies registered in a subscope override those from parent scopes when resolved.
- If a dependency is not found in the current subscope, the resolution process automatically searches parent scopes up the hierarchy.
- Subscopes can have their own modules, lifetime, and disposable objects.
- You can nest subscopes to any depth, modeling features, flows, or components independently.
#### Example
```dart
final rootScope = CherryPick.openRootScope();
rootScope.installModules([AppModule()]);
// Open a hierarchical subscope for a feature or page
final userFeatureScope = rootScope.openSubScope('userFeature');
userFeatureScope.installModules([UserFeatureModule()]);
// Dependencies defined in UserFeatureModule will take precedence
final userService = userFeatureScope.resolve<UserService>();
// If not found in the subscope, lookup continues in the parent (rootScope)
final sharedService = userFeatureScope.resolve<SharedService>();
// You can nest subscopes
final dialogScope = userFeatureScope.openSubScope('dialog');
dialogScope.installModules([DialogModule()]);
final dialogManager = dialogScope.resolve<DialogManager>();
```
#### Use Cases
- Isolate feature modules, flows, or screens with their own dependencies.
- Provide and override services for specific navigation stacks or platform-specific branches.
- Manage the lifetime and disposal of groups of dependencies independently (e.g., per-user, per-session, per-component).
**Tip:** Always close subscopes when they are no longer needed to release resources and trigger cleanup of Disposable dependencies.

### Logging
CherryPick supports centralized logging of all dependency injection (DI) events and errors. You can globally enable logs for your application or test environment with:
```dart
import 'package:cherrypick/cherrypick.dart';
void main() {
// Set a global logger before any scopes are created
CherryPick.setGlobalLogger(PrintLogger()); // or your custom logger
final scope = CherryPick.openRootScope();
// All DI actions and errors will now be logged!
}
```
- All dependency resolution, scope creation, module installation, and circular dependency errors will be sent to your logger (via info/error method).
- By default, logs are off (SilentLogger is used in production).
If you want fine-grained, test-local, or isolated logging, you can provide a logger directly to each scope:
```dart
final logger = MockLogger();
final scope = Scope(null, logger: logger); // works in tests for isolation
scope.installModules([...]);
```
---
### Circular Dependency Detection
CherryPick can detect circular dependencies in your DI configuration, helping you avoid infinite loops and hard-to-debug errors.
**How to use:**
#### 1. Enable Cycle Detection for Development
**Local detection (within one scope):**
```dart
final scope = CherryPick.openSafeRootScope(); // Local detection enabled by default
// or, for an existing scope:
scope.enableCycleDetection();
```
**Global detection (across all scopes):**
```dart
CherryPick.enableGlobalCrossScopeCycleDetection();
final rootScope = CherryPick.openGlobalSafeRootScope();
```
#### 2. Error Example
If you declare mutually dependent services:
```dart
class A { A(B b); }
class B { B(A a); }
scope.installModules([
Module((bind) {
bind<A>().to((s) => A(s.resolve<B>()));
bind<B>().to((s) => B(s.resolve<A>()));
}),
]);
scope.resolve<A>(); // Throws CircularDependencyException
```
#### 3. Typical Usage Pattern
- **Always enable detection** in debug and test environments for maximum safety.
- **Disable detection** in production for performance (after code is tested).
```dart
import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';
void main() {
if (kDebugMode) {
CherryPick.enableGlobalCycleDetection();
CherryPick.enableGlobalCrossScopeCycleDetection();
}
runApp(MyApp());
}
```
#### 4. Handling and Debugging Errors
On detection, `CircularDependencyException` is thrown with a readable dependency chain:
```dart
try {
scope.resolve<MyService>();
} on CircularDependencyException catch (e) {
print('Dependency chain: ${e.dependencyChain}');
}
```

## FAQ
### Q: Do I need to use `await` with CherryPick.closeRootScope(), CherryPick.closeScope(), or scope.dispose() if I have no Disposable services?
@@ -674,15 +656,20 @@ try {
**A:**
Yes! Even if none of your services currently implement `Disposable`, always use `await` when closing scopes. If you later add resource cleanup (by implementing `dispose()`), CherryPick will handle it automatically without you needing to change your scope cleanup code. This ensures resource management is future-proof, robust, and covers all application scenarios.
