Dependency Injection

dependency injection
More generic than IoC container. It only means that the one that uses the implementation only thinks using more abstract concepts. It is the use of polymorphism in algorithms.
dependency injection is a design pattern in which an object or function receives other objects or functions that it depends on
dependency injection aims to separate the concerns of constructing objects and using them, leading to loosely coupled programs
Fundamentally, dependency injection consists of passing parameters to a method
Because the client does not build or find the service itself, it typically only needs to declare the interfaces of the services it uses, rather than their concrete implementations
example of inversion of control without dependency injection is the template method pattern, where polymorphism is achieved through subclassing
example of inversion of control without dependency injection is the template method pattern, where polymorphism is achieved through subclassing. In contrast, dependency injection implements inversion of control through composition, and is often similar to the strategy pattern. A difference is that the strategy pattern is intended for dependencies that are interchangeable throughout an object’s lifetime, whereas with dependency injection typically only a single instance of a dependency is used.
The pattern ensures that an object or function which wants to use a given service should not have to know how to construct those services
