public interface Binder
Injector. Guice provides this object to your application's Module implementors so
they may each contribute their own bindings and other registrations.
binder, just as you will if your module extends AbstractModule.
bind(ServiceImpl.class);
This statement does essentially nothing; it "binds the ServiceImpl class to itself" and
does not change Guice's default behavior. You may still want to use this if you prefer your
Module class to serve as an explicit manifest for the services it provides. Also,
in rare cases, Guice may be unable to validate a binding at injector creation time unless it is
given explicitly.
bind(Service.class).to(ServiceImpl.class);
Specifies that a request for a Service instance with no binding annotations should be
treated as if it were a request for a ServiceImpl instance. This overrides the
function of any @ImplementedBy or @ProvidedBy
annotations found on Service, since Guice will have already "moved on" to ServiceImpl before it reaches the point when it starts looking for these annotations.
bind(Service.class).toProvider(ServiceProvider.class);
In this example, ServiceProvider must extend or implement Provider<Service>. This
binding specifies that Guice should resolve an unannotated injection request for Service
by first resolving an instance of ServiceProvider in the regular way, then calling get() on the resulting Provider instance to obtain the Service instance.
The Provider you use here does not have to be a "factory"; that is, a provider which
always creates each instance it provides. However, this is generally a good practice to
follow. You can then use Guice's concept of scopes to guide when creation should
happen -- "letting Guice work for you".
bind(Service.class).annotatedWith(Red.class).to(ServiceImpl.class);
Like the previous example, but only applies to injection requests that use the binding annotation
@Red. If your module also includes bindings for particular values of the
@Red annotation (see below), then this binding will serve as a "catch-all" for any values
of @Red that have no exact match in the bindings.
bind(ServiceImpl.class).in(Singleton.class);
// or, alternatively
bind(ServiceImpl.class).in(Scopes.SINGLETON);
Either of these statements places the ServiceImpl class into singleton scope. Guice will
create only one instance of ServiceImpl and will reuse it for all injection requests of
this type. Note that it is still possible to bind another instance of ServiceImpl if the
second binding is qualified by an annotation as in the previous example. Guice is not overly
concerned with preventing you from creating multiple instances of your "singletons", only
with enabling your application to share only one instance if that's all you tell Guice you
need.
Note: a scope specified in this way overrides any scope that was specified with
an annotation on the ServiceImpl class.
Besides Singleton/Scopes.SINGLETON, there are servlet-specific scopes
available in com.google.inject.servlet.ServletScopes, and your Modules can contribute
their own custom scopes for use here as well.
bind(new TypeLiteral<PaymentService<CreditCard>>() {})
.to(CreditCardPaymentService.class);
This admittedly odd construct is the way to bind a parameterized type. It tells Guice how to
honor an injection request for an element of type PaymentService<CreditCard>. The class
CreditCardPaymentService must implement the PaymentService<CreditCard> interface.
Guice cannot currently bind or inject a generic type, such as Set<E>; all type parameters
must be fully specified.
bind(Service.class).toInstance(new ServiceImpl());
// or, alternatively
bind(Service.class).toInstance(SomeLegacyRegistry.getService());
In this example, your module itself, not Guice, takes responsibility for obtaining a
ServiceImpl instance, then asks Guice to always use this single instance to fulfill all
Service injection requests. When the Injector is created, it will automatically
perform field and method injection for this instance, but any injectable constructor on ServiceImpl is simply ignored. Note that using this approach results in "eager loading" behavior
that you can't control.
bindConstant().annotatedWith(ServerHost.class).to(args[0]);
Sets up a constant binding. Constant injections must always be annotated. When a constant
binding's value is a string, it is eligile for conversion to all primitive types, to all enums, and to class literals. Conversions
for other types can be configured using convertToTypes().
@Color("red") Color red; // A member variable (field)
. . .
red = MyModule.class.getDeclaredField("red").getAnnotation(Color.class);
bind(Service.class).annotatedWith(red).to(RedService.class);
If your binding annotation has parameters you can apply different bindings to different specific
values of your annotation. Getting your hands on the right instance of the annotation is a bit of
a pain -- one approach, shown above, is to apply a prototype annotation to a field in your module
class, so that you can read this annotation instance and give it to Guice.
bind(Service.class)
.annotatedWith(Names.named("blue"))
.to(BlueService.class);
Differentiating by names is a common enough use case that we provided a standard annotation,
@Named. Because of Guice's library support, binding by name
is quite easier than in the arbitrary binding annotation case we just saw. However, remember that
these names will live in a single flat namespace with all the other names used in your
application.
Constructor loneCtor = getLoneCtorFromServiceImplViaReflection();
bind(ServiceImpl.class)
.toConstructor(loneCtor);
In this example, we directly tell Guice which constructor to use in a concrete class
implementation. It means that we do not need to place @Inject on any of the
constructors and that Guice treats the provided constructor as though it were annotated so. It is
useful for cases where you cannot modify existing classes and is a bit simpler than using a
Provider.
The above list of examples is far from exhaustive. If you can think of how the concepts of one example might coexist with the concepts from another, you can most likely weave the two together. If the two concepts make no sense with each other, you most likely won't be able to do it. In a few cases Guice will let something bogus slip by, and will then inform you of the problems at runtime, as soon as you try to create your Injector.
The other methods of Binder such as bindScope(java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation>, com.google.inject.Scope), bindInterceptor(com.google.inject.matcher.Matcher<? super java.lang.Class<?>>, com.google.inject.matcher.Matcher<? super java.lang.reflect.Method>, org.aopalliance.intercept.MethodInterceptor...), install(com.google.inject.Module), requestStaticInjection(java.lang.Class<?>...), addError(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object...) and currentStage() are not
part of the Binding EDSL; you can learn how to use these in the usual way, from the method
documentation.

PrivateModule for details.void requireExplicitBindings()
bind(Foo.class).to(FooImpl.class)) are allowed, but the implicit
binding (FooImpl) cannot be directly injected unless it is also explicitly bound (
bind(FooImpl.class)).
Tools can still retrieve bindings for implicit bindings (bindings created through a linked
binding) if explicit bindings are required, however Binding.getProvider() will fail.
By default, explicit bindings are not required.
If a parent injector requires explicit bindings, then all child injectors (and private modules within that injector) also require explicit bindings. If a parent does not require explicit bindings, a child injector or private module may optionally declare itself as requiring explicit bindings. If it does, the behavior is limited only to that child or any grandchildren. No siblings of the child will require explicit bindings.
In the absence of an explicit binding for the target, linked bindings in child injectors create a binding for the target in the parent. Since this behavior can be surprising, it causes an error instead if explicit bindings are required. To avoid this error, add an explicit binding for the target, either in the child or the parent.
void disableCircularProxies()
Provider. By default, circular dependencies are not disabled.
If a parent injector disables circular dependencies, then all child injectors (and private modules within that injector) also disable circular dependencies. If a parent does not disable circular dependencies, a child injector or private module may optionally declare itself as disabling circular dependencies. If it does, the behavior is limited only to that child or any grandchildren. No siblings of the child will disable circular dependencies.
void requireAtInjectOnConstructors()
Inject annotation exists on a constructor in order for
Guice to consider it an eligible injectable class. By default, Guice will inject classes that
have a no-args constructor if no @Inject annotation exists on any
constructor.
If the class is bound using LinkedBindingBuilder.toConstructor(java.lang.reflect.Constructor<S>), Guice will still
inject that constructor regardless of annotations.
