Annotation Type Component

@Target(TYPE) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface Component
Identify a bean as component with singleton scope that avaje-inject will use.

This is an alternative to using the standard @Singleton annotation. We generally use @Component when we:

  • Want to use avaje-inject in a project that has some other library using @Singleton
  • Want to support BOTH javax.inject and jakarta.inject

Example


@Component
class MyEmailSender implements EmailSender {

  ...
}

Ignoring @Singleton

Set InjectModule.ignoreSingleton() true to get avaje-inject to ignore classes annotated with @Singleton. Typically, we want another DI library to use those classes and want avaje-inject to co-exist independently. 


  @InjectModule(name = "coffee", ignoreSingleton = true)
  package coffee;

  import io.avaje.inject.InjectModule;
