Pilgrim is a dependency injection library for Swift with the following features:

  • Minimal runtime-only library that works with pure Swift (structs, classes, protocols) as well as ObjC base classes, when necessary.
  • Easy to install. Works on iOS, Mac & Linux. No compile-time weaving required.
  • Type safe. No reflection or ObjC runtime, because it is pure swift. (Uses higher-order functions.)
  • Lifecycles management: shared, weakShared, objectGraph (a DI concept introduced by Typhoon, for desktop and pocket apps) & unshared.
  • Can be used with SwiftUI, UIKit and Cocoa based apps.
  • Simple and flexible. For example, it is easy to have two injectable instances that conform to the same protocol.
  • Provides the notion of a composition root in which the key actors, and their interactions in an application architecture are defined as a graph. This is where your app's architectural story is told. Assembled instances can then be injected into top level classes, such as a view controller, in a UIKit app, using property wrappers.
  • Runtime args. Can act as a factory for emitting new instances derived from a mix of runtime parameters and key architectural actors.
  • Official successor to Typhoon and based on the excellent FieryCrucible by jkolb.

You can use Pilgrim in apps that employ the object-oriented programming paradigm or that mix object-oriented and functional styles.

Quick Start

Want to start applying dependency injection to your code in two minutes? Follow the Quick Start guide!

class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {

    @Assembled var assembly: ApplicationAssembly
    @Assembled var cityRepo: CityRepository
    @Assembled var rootViewController: RootViewController

    var window: UIWindow?

    func application(_ application: UIApplication,
                     didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]? = nil) -> Bool {
        
        window = assembly.window()
        window?.makeKeyAndVisible()

        if (cityRepo.loadSelectedCity() == nil) {
            rootViewController.showCitiesListController()
        }
        return true
    }
}

Here's how your code might look, when you're done with the quick start.

Installation

CocoaPods

pod 'Pilgrim-DI'

Other installation methods (Swift Package Manager, etc) coming soon!

Sample App

Here's a sample app / starter template, to get up and running quickly.

User Guide
