Components.js: Semantic dependency injection

A common practice within object-oriented software is using composition to realize complex object behavior in a reusable way. Such compositions can be managed by Dependency Injection (DI), popular technique which components only depend on minimal interfaces and have their concrete dependencies passed into them. Instead of requiring program code, this separation enables describing the desired instantiations declarative configuration files, such that objects wired together automatically at runtime. Configurations for existing DI frameworks typically local semantics, limits usage other contexts. Yet some cases require configurations outside scope, as reproducibility experiments, static analysis, semantic workflows. As such, there need globally interoperable, addressable, discoverable configurations, achieved leveraging Linked Data. We created Components.js an open-source framework TypeScript JavaScript applications, providing global semantics via Data-based files. In article, we report explaining its architecture configuration, discuss impact mentioning where how applications use it. show stable has seen significant uptake during last couple years. recommend it projects high flexibility, without code changes, sharing with others, or applying these contexts experimentation analysis. anticipate will continue driving research development degrees customization facilitate testing, including Comunica query engine Community Solid Server decentralized data publication.
