a dependency injector for node.js

forge's Issues

Does not seem to work with ES6 classes

The dependencies are not getting injected into the class constructor of the new ES6 class. Type dependencies managed by Forge and ctor args using with() do not get injected.

A conventional note

First things first: I'm fairly certain that the existence of this framework will be controversial. The general sentiment is that in a loosely-typed, dynamic language like JavaScript, framework-aided dependency injection is unnecessary.

First, those people are dumb. There's nothing about Node or Javascript that makes DI any less applicable.

Second, CoffeeScript is to JavaScript as C++ is to Assembly. Although it compiles to Javascript... its not Javascript. This is an important distinction, I think... along the lines of ordering hot cocoa and receiving coffee.

Ability to dynamically resolve missing dependencies

Would be to nice to be able to either have a custom action on a missing dependency or simply provide one manually. I would actually seek to have a mixed pre-defined and lazy loading arrangement (plugins). This should be settable on forge's instance.

Ability to makeChild/clone/fork a forge

I would like to have this function to create scoped dependencies that will be changed for a different set of dependencies with the same name. I would hate to use unbind for this.

PS. Very nice project. Clean, well documented and does not constrain the user unlike other DI frameworks like angular/di.js
