Installing

Diosaur is available for both Node and Deno.

Modifying your tsconfig.json

In your tsconfig.json file you'll need to enable those two flags for Diosaur to work:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        // ...
        "lib": ["ES2017"],
        "experimentalDecorators": true,
        "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,

        // This will be necessary for attribute injection
        // Not necessary if you only inject dependencies through constructor
        "strictPropertyInitialization": false,
    }
}

This is required for Diosaur to infer and detect types of your objects and reference correct dependencies.

Using with node

To use Diosaur with node, first install the library along with reflect-metadata which is required:

npm install --save diosaur reflect-metadata

Then you can initialize it like this:

// Load reflect-metadata
import 'reflect-metadata';

// Load library essentials
import { Service, Inject, getContainer } from 'diosaur';

Using with Deno

Using Diosaur with Deno is as simple as doing

// index.ts

// Import reflect-metadata
import 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rbuckton/reflect-metadata/master/Reflect.js';

// Load library essentials
import { Service, Inject, getContainer } from 'https://deno.land/x/diosaur@master/mod.ts';

You can then run it with

deno run -c tsconfig.json index.ts
