Swift : Swinject Dependency injection

Sometimes coming across some technical words seems very intimidating. But once you take your time to understand it. You discover that was only a matter of vocabulary . That was the case for me for Swinject, when i got it, i found that i was already doing my self something similar 😂.

That’s why i decided to try to explain Swinject in the most simple way in this article.

Dependency injection

⚠️ If you already know what dependency injection is and what is used for. you can skip dependency injection section to the Swinject part.

Before talking about dependency injection, let’s talk first about not doing dependency injection 😛.

Not injecting dependencies is considered to be a bad thing (A code smell). Let’s give an example and explain this step by step.

ViewModel is using the API, we say that the API is a dependency of ViewModel.
