I have a piece of code which is used to load configuration from file and parse it into a struct, I use this configuration quite often and hence I pass it around in the method parameters. Now I as my method parameters are increasing, I am looking at dependency injection and have settle with wire.
Now I have created a provider to load the configuration and an injector to provide the config struct. However each time I call the injection my file is read again, I want that the file is read once and the injection provided as many times as required without any additional loading.
Here is my provider:
// ProvideConfig config provider ...
func ProvideConfig() *config.FileConfig {
var cfp string
flag.StringVar(&cfp, "config", "config.json", "absolute path")
flag.Parse()
return config.Loadconfig(cfp)
}
Injector:
// GetConfig injector ...
func GetConfig() ConfigResource {
wire.Build(ProvideConfig, NewConfigResource)
return ConfigResource{}
}
Now when I call:
injection.GetConfig()
I see that ProvideConfig is called always. I can have a check in the provide config method the determine if the config is already loaded, I am not sure if there is a better way, something like a single instance loader which is built into the wire. I tried looking into the docs but could not find anything relevant.
As far as I'm aware, there's no built in way in wire
to specify that a provider is a singleton / should only be called once.
This is accomplished in the usual way in Go, by using sync.Once
. Your provider function can be a closure that does the expensive operation only once using sync.Once.Do
. This is idiomatic in Go, and doesn't require any special provision from every library that wants to provide "single" loading.
Here's an example without wire:
type Value struct {
id int
msg string
}
type ValueProvider func() *Value
// consumer takes a function that provides a new *Value and consumes
// the *Value provided by it.
func consumer(vp ValueProvider) {
v := vp()
fmt.Printf("Consuming %+v\n", *v)
}
// MakeSingleLoader returns a ValueProvider that creates a value once using an
// expensive operation, and then keeps returning the same value.
func MakeSingleLoader() ValueProvider {
var v *Value
var once sync.Once
return func() *Value {
once.Do(func() {
v = ExpensiveOperation()
})
return v
}
}
// ExpensiveOperation emulates an expensive operation that can take a while
// to run.
func ExpensiveOperation() *Value {
return &Value{id: 1, msg: "hello"}
}
func main() {
sl := MakeSingleLoader()
consumer(sl)
consumer(sl)
consumer(sl)
}
If you're OK with the "singleton" value being a global, this code can be simplified a bit. Otherwise, it only calls ExpensiveOperation
once, and keeps the value cached in a local inaccessible outside MakeSingleLoader
.
