Dependency Injection container for Unreal Engine

UnrealDI

Dependency Injection container for Unreal Engine. Container will take care of objects creation and their lifetime.

This implementation works on top of UObjects and UInterfaces.

Getting started

First, you need to setup your container and register some types into it:

// create builder object
FContainerBuilder Builder;

// register type UMyService as implementation of IMyService interface
Builder.RegisterType<UMyService>().As<IMyService>();

// create container itself
UObjectContainer* Container = Builder.Build();

After that you can ask it to resolve some instances:

TScriptInterface<IMyService> MyService = Container->Resolve<IMyService>();

Supported versions

UnrealDI was tested to work with Unreal versions 4.25, 4.26 and 4.27.

UnrealDI is heavily inspired by Hypodermic, but designed with Unreal Engine specifics in mind.
