What the heck is Google GIN?

• GIN = GWT INjection

• Guice brings automatic dependency injection to server side code, while GIN is for client-side code.

• GIN is built on top of Guice and uses (a subset of) Guice's binding language

5 Steps to remember

1. Design the application with Interfaces IA,IB,…

2. Create concrete classes AImpl, BImpl,… to implement interfaces IA,IB,… Remember: use @Inject to mark the non-default constructor.

3. Create AppClientModule to configure which implementation is bound to which interface

4. Create interface AppGinjector with the AppClientModule in the annotation @GinModules.

5. Generate code for AppGinjector and use it

AppPresenter aPres = injector.getAppPresenter();

aPres.bind();

RootPanel.get().add(aPres.getDisplay().asWidget());

private final AppGinjector injector = GWT.create(AppGinjector.class);

@GinModules({AppClientModule.class, other modules …})

Step 1: Design an Interface

public class ConfigPresenter extends WidgetPresenter<ConfigPresenter.Display>{

public interface Display extends NameAwareWidgetDisplay, WidgetDisplay {

public HasClickHandlers getSaveClick();

public void updateConfig(Config config);

}

}

Step 1: Design an Interface

public class ConfigPresenter extends WidgetPresenter<ConfigPresenter.Display>{

public interface Display extends NameAwareWidgetDisplay, WidgetDisplay {

public HasClickHandlers getSaveClick();

public void updateConfig(Config config);

}

}

For gwt-dispatch developers: Normally, we create a Display interface as an inner interface of a Presenter class

Step 2: Implement the interface

public class ConfigView extends Composite implements ConfigPresenter.Display {

private VerticalPanel panel = new VerticalPanel();

private AppConstants constants;

@Inject

public ConfigView(AppConstants constants, AppMessages messages) {

this.constants = constants;

panel.addStyleName(AppCSS.C_config_container);

panel.add(new HTML("<h1>Config view: comming soon<h1>"));

initWidget(panel);

}

}

Step 2: Implement the interface

public class ConfigView extends Composite implements ConfigPresenter.Display {

private VerticalPanel panel = new VerticalPanel();

private AppConstants constants;

@Inject

public ConfigView(AppConstants constants, AppMessages messages) {

this.constants = constants;

panel.addStyleName(AppCSS.C_config_container);

panel.add(new HTML("<h1>Config view: comming soon<h1>"));

initWidget(panel);

}

}

If the class has no default constructor, then a @Inject annotation is required. Otherwise, you will get a RuntimeException (“No @Inject or default constructor found for class …. ”)

Step 3: Create class AppClientModule

public class AppClientModule extends AbstractPresenterModule {

@Override

protected void configure() {

bind(EventBus.class).to(DefaultEventBus.class).in(Singleton.class);

bind(PlaceManager.class).to(AppPlaceManager.class);

bindPresenter(LoginPresenter.class, LoginPresenter.Display.class, LoginView.class);

bindPresenter(MainPresenter.class, MainPresenter.Display.class, MainView.class);

bindPresenter(AppPresenter.class, AppPresenter.Display.class, AppView.class);

bind(LoginPresenterPlace.class).in(Singleton.class);

bind(ContactsPresenterPlace.class).in(Singleton.class);

bind(LoginPresenter.class).in(Singleton.class);

bind(LoginPresenter.Display.class).to(LoginView.class);

}

}

Step 3: Create class AppClientModule

public class AppClientModule extends AbstractPresenterModule {

@Override

protected void configure() {

bind(EventBus.class).to(DefaultEventBus.class).in(Singleton.class);

bind(PlaceManager.class).to(AppPlaceManager.class);

bindPresenter(LoginPresenter.class, LoginPresenter.Display.class, LoginView.class);

bindPresenter(MainPresenter.class, MainPresenter.Display.class, MainView.class);

bindPresenter(AppPresenter.class, AppPresenter.Display.class, AppView.class);

bind(LoginPresenterPlace.class).in(Singleton.class);

bind(ContactsPresenterPlace.class).in(Singleton.class);

bind(LoginPresenter.class).in(Singleton.class);

bind(LoginPresenter.Display.class).to(LoginView.class);

}

} Don’t need to bind LoginPresenter and LoginPresenter.Display Because they are already “bind” above in the bindPresenter(…)

See the implementation of the bindPresenter() in the next slide …

Note: Implementation of bindPresenter()

public abstract class AbstractPresenterModule extends AbstractGinModule {

protected <D extends Display> void bindPresenter( Class<? extends Presenter> presenter,

Class<D> display, Class<? extends D> displayImpl )

{

bind( presenter ).in( Singleton.class );

bindDisplay( display, displayImpl );

}

protected <D extends Display> void bindDisplay( Class<D> display, Class<? extends D>

displayImpl )

{

bind( display ).to( displayImpl );

}

}

Note: Implementation of bindPresenter()

public abstract class AbstractPresenterModule extends AbstractGinModule {

protected <D extends Display> void bindPresenter( Class<? extends Presenter> presenter,

Class<D> display, Class<? extends D> displayImpl )

{

bind( presenter ).in( Singleton.class );

bindDisplay( display, displayImpl );

}

protected <D extends Display> void bindDisplay( Class<D> display, Class<? extends D>

displayImpl )

{

bind( display ).to( displayImpl );

}

}

DisplayImpl class is bound to Display interface

Note: Implementation of bindPresenter()

public abstract class AbstractPresenterModule extends AbstractGinModule {

protected <D extends Display> void bindPresenter( Class<? extends Presenter> presenter,

Class<D> display, Class<? extends D> displayImpl )

{

bind( presenter ).in( Singleton.class );

bindDisplay( display, displayImpl );

}

protected <D extends Display> void bindDisplay( Class<D> display, Class<? extends D>

displayImpl )

{

bind( display ).to( displayImpl );

}

}

Presenter is bound as Singleton. It means there is no new instance created when you invoke AppGinjector.getPresenter()

DisplayImpl class is bound to Display interface

Step 4: Define AppGinjector interface

@GinModules({ClientDispatchModule.class,AppClientModule.class})

public interface AppGinjector extends Ginjector {

public AppPresenter getAppPresenter();

public PlaceManager getPlaceManager();

public EventBus getEventBus();

}

Step 4: Define AppGinjector interface

@GinModules({ClientDispatchModule.class,AppClientModule.class})

public interface AppGinjector extends Ginjector {

public AppPresenter getAppPresenter();

public PlaceManager getPlaceManager();

public EventBus getEventBus();

}

List of modules. Each module class contains only one configure() method to specify which implementation is bound to which interface.

Step 4: Define AppGinjector interface

@GinModules({ClientDispatchModule.class,AppClientModule.class})

public interface AppGinjector extends Ginjector {

public AppPresenter getAppPresenter();

public PlaceManager getPlaceManager();

public EventBus getEventBus();

}

List of modules. Each module class contains only one configure() method to specify which implementation is bound to which interface.

A helper module provided by gwt-dispatch (just ignore it for now)

Step 4: Define AppGinjector interface

@GinModules({ClientDispatchModule.class,AppClientModule.class})

public interface AppGinjector extends Ginjector {

public AppPresenter getAppPresenter();

public PlaceManager getPlaceManager();

public EventBus getEventBus();

}

List of modules. Each module class contains only one configure() method to specify which implementation is bound to which interface.

A helper module provided by gwt-dispatch (just ignore it for now)

You create it in step 3!

Step 4: Define AppGinjector interface

@GinModules({ClientDispatchModule.class,AppClientModule.class})

public interface AppGinjector extends Ginjector {

public AppPresenter getAppPresenter();

public PlaceManager getPlaceManager();

public EventBus getEventBus();

}

Use whatever name you want!

List of modules. Each module class contains only one configure() method to specify which implementation is bound to which interface.

A helper module provided by gwt-dispatch (just ignore it for now)

You create it in step 3!

Step 4: Define AppGinjector interface

@GinModules({ClientDispatchModule.class,AppClientModule.class})

public interface AppGinjector extends Ginjector {

public AppPresenter getAppPresenter();

public PlaceManager getPlaceManager();

public EventBus getEventBus();

}

Return type is important. Injector will return the instance basing on type.

Use whatever name you want!

List of modules. Each module class contains only one configure() method to specify which implementation is bound to which interface.

A helper module provided by gwt-dispatch (just ignore it for now)

You create it in step 3!

Step 5: Using Injector in the EntryPoint

public class App implements EntryPoint{

private final AppGinjector injector = GWT.create(AppGinjector.class);

public void onModuleLoad() {

AppPresenter aPres = injector.getAppPresenter();

aPres.bind();

RootPanel.get().add(aPres.getDisplay().asWidget());

PlaceManager placeManager = injector.getPlaceManager();

placeManager.fireCurrentPlace();

}

}

Step 5: Using Injector in the EntryPoint

public class App implements EntryPoint{

private final AppGinjector injector = GWT.create(AppGinjector.class);

public void onModuleLoad() {

AppPresenter aPres = injector.getAppPresenter();

aPres.bind();

RootPanel.get().add(aPres.getDisplay().asWidget());

PlaceManager placeManager = injector.getPlaceManager();

placeManager.fireCurrentPlace();

}

}

GWT generates the implementation of AppGinjector at compile time

Step 5: Using Injector in the EntryPoint

public class App implements EntryPoint{

private final AppGinjector injector = GWT.create(AppGinjector.class);

public void onModuleLoad() {

AppPresenter aPres = injector.getAppPresenter();

aPres.bind();

RootPanel.get().add(aPres.getDisplay().asWidget());

PlaceManager placeManager = injector.getPlaceManager();

placeManager.fireCurrentPlace();

}

}

GWT generates the implementation of AppGinjector at compile time

Here are all Interfaces. Their implementations are injected by GIN. But which implementation is bound to which Interface? => See AppClientModule .configure()
