Simply add it to your app's dependencies:
def deps do
[{:needle, git: "[email protected]:jesuspc/needle.git"}]
end
You will need to define a Box module in which the dependencies for each of your dependant modules will be defined:
defmodule Box do
def deps do
%{
Elixir.Foo => %{ logger: Elixir.DefaultLogger },
Elixir.DefaultLogger => %{ log_level: "debug" }
}
end
end
This box can be overriden using Needle.set_box. Doing so is a useful technique to customize your tests without using environment variables.
Dependencies can be injected in each dependant module using Needle's defdependency macro:
defmodule Foo do
use Needle
defdependency :logger
def say_hello do
logger.puts "hello"
end
end
defmodule DefaultLogger do
use Needle
defdependency :log_level
def puts(message) do
IO.puts "[#{log_level}] #{message}"
end
end
By default those dependecies are hard-injected on compile time, not dynamically resolved.
