Config

config: antidote.Config

Singleton instance of Config

class Config

This class itself shouldn’t be used directly, rely on the singleton config instead.

Global configuration used by Antidote to (de-)activate features.

auto_detect_type_hints_locals

Whether inject and all other decorators should rely on inspection to determine automatically the locals for typing.get_type_hints() when relying on type hints. Deactivated by default. This behavior can always be overridden by specifying type_hints_locals argument explicitly, either to None for deactivation or to 'auto' for activation.

It’s mostly interesting during tests. The following example wouldn’t work with string annotations:

>>> from __future__ import annotations
>>> from antidote import config, injectable, inject, world
>>> config.auto_detect_type_hints_locals = True
>>> def dummy_test():
...     with world.test.new():
...         @injectable
...         class Dummy:
...             pass
...
...         @inject
...         def f(dummy: Dummy = inject.me()) -> Dummy:
...             return dummy
...
...         return f() is world.get(Dummy)
>>> dummy_test()
True
