syrup

Syrup is an extremely simple Promise-based Dependency Injection framework (or rather, a library) for Node.js. While many related efforts already exist, Syrup attempts to break the mold by focusing on a single feature (dependency resolution) and relying on Node.js for the rest.

Features

• Configuration-free. No need to set up configuration files just to get up and running.
• Magic-free module loader. It's just require() and you'll be the one calling it (i.e. you have full control).
• Promise-only.
• Mock-friendly. Invoke modules with mock dependencies for easy testing.
• Non-intrusive. You can use Syrup in just one part of your app.
• Runs in parallel with an optional serial mode.

Mockability

Much like in Architect, you can invoke modules directly by passing your own mock dependencies to them.

archive.js

var syrup = require('syrup')

module.exports = syrup()
  .dependency(require('./box'))
  .define(function(options, box) {
    return {
      store: function(thing) {
        return box.put(thing)
      }
    }
  })

archive-test.js

var sinon = require('sinon')
var chai = require('chai')
chai.use require('sinon-chai')
vat expect = chai.expect

var archive = require('./archive')

describe('archive', function() {

  it('should put the thing in the box', function() {
    var mockBox = {
      put: sinon.spy()
    }
    var treasure = 42
    archive.invoke(null, mockBox).store(treasure)
    expect(mockBox.put).to.have.been.calledWith(treasure)
  })

})
