Instead of using Flask's global objects (like the global request context or extension singletons), you define dependencies in Injector modules and have them automatically injected into views, request handlers, template processors, and other Flask components. This eliminates the need for global state, making applications easier to test and reason about.\n\nThe package works by wrapping Flask's initialization and hooking into its request lifecycle. It binds Flask's core objects (the app, config, and request) into the Injector container at appropriate scopes (singleton for app and config, request-scoped for the current request), then resolves function parameters by type annotation. It integrates with Flask-RESTful, Flask-RestPlus, and Flask-RESTX resource constructors, and supports custom scopes for advanced use cases.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. Flask-Injector is stable and well-suited for new Flask projects that prioritize testability and clean dependency management. However, the dormant maintenance status (last release 2023-07-27) means you should verify compatibility with your target Flask and Injector versions before committing. If your project requires active upstream support or frequent dependency updates, consider whether the risk of stale maintenance is acceptable. For established projects with fixed dependencies, it remains a solid choice."},"id":"flask-injector","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flask-injector","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flask-injector.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/flask-injector/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-07-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"Flask-Injector","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Adds Injector, a Dependency Injection framework, support to Flask."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":106151,"position":12666,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.15.0"}
