SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Migrates runtime-based dependency injection from Swinject to a compile-time, type-safe Factory approach, reducing runtime errors and enabling earlier validation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guides a controlled migration of DI containers across Clean Architecture boundaries, preserving module graphs and business logic.
  • Replaces dynamic resolve calls with explicit factory-based dependencies, improving testability and compile-time safety.
  • Use Case: When refactoring a Swift app from Swinject to Factory to strengthen DI graphs and static checking.

Quick Start

Run a guided migration plan to replace runtime Swinject registrations with compile-time Factory declarations in your Swift modules.

FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate Swift dependency injection from Swinject to Factory?

To migrate Swift dependency injection from Swinject to Factory, you replace runtime resolve calls with compile-time Factory declarations. This involves adding Factory as a dependency, declaring typed factories, and translating scopes to ensure static checking without altering business logic.

What is compile-time dependency injection in Swift?

Compile-time dependency injection in Swift validates dependency graphs during compilation rather than at runtime. By using Factory instead of Swinject, you catch missing registrations and type mismatches earlier, reducing runtime crashes and enabling safer refactoring across Clean Architecture boundaries.

Can I migrate Swinject dependency lifetimes to Factory scopes without changing business logic?

Yes, you can migrate Swinject dependency lifetimes to Factory scopes without changing business logic. The migration focuses on translating container registrations and lifetimes within the composition root, preserving the existing module graph while enforcing compile-time safety.

What's the best way to replace Swinject resolve calls with type-safe factories?

The best way to replace Swinject resolve calls is to declare explicit, typed factories at your composition root. This controlled migration removes dynamic resolution, improving testability and allowing the Swift compiler to validate the entire dependency graph statically.

Does migrating from Swinject to Factory require adding new external dependencies?

Yes, migrating from Swinject to Factory requires adding Factory as an external dependency. You must integrate the Factory package into your Swift project to enable compile-time dependency declarations and replace the existing Swinject DI containers.

Why does my Swinject dependency injection crash at runtime in Swift?

Swinject dependency injection often crashes at runtime due to missing registrations or unresolved dependencies. Migrating to a compile-time Factory approach catches these errors during the Swift build process, ensuring type safety and eliminating runtime failures related to invalid DI graphs.
