# Dependency Injection

## **Priority: P1 (HIGH)**

Automated class dependency management using `get_it` and `injectable`.

## Structure

```text
core/injection/
├── injection.dart # Initialization & setup
└── modules/ # Third-party dependency modules (Dio, Storage)
```

## Implementation Guidelines

- **Automated Registration**: Use `@injectable` annotations; avoid manual registry calls.
- **@LazySingleton**: Default for repositories, services, and data sources (init on demand).
- **@injectable (Factory)**: Default for BLoCs to ensure state resets on every request.
- **Abstract Injection**: Always register implementations as abstract interfaces (`as: IService`).
- **Modules**: Use `@module` for registering third-party instances (e.g., `Dio`, `SharedPreferences`).
- **Constructor Injection**: Use mandatory constructor parameters; `injectable` resolves them.
- **Test Mocks**: Swap implementations in `setUp` using `getIt.registerLazySingleton` for testing.
