Installing godi

  • A Go module (recommended)

Installation

Import in Your Code

import "github.com/junioryono/godi"

Verify Installation

Create a simple test file to verify the installation:

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/junioryono/godi"
)

func main() {
    collection := godi.NewServiceCollection()
    fmt.Println("godi installed successfully!")
    fmt.Printf("Collection type: %T\n", collection)
}

Run it:

go run main.go

Editor Support

godi works great with any Go development environment:

  • VS Code: Install the official Go extension

  • GoLand: Full support out of the box

  • Vim/Neovim: Use gopls for LSP support

The type-safe generic helpers in godi provide excellent IDE support with auto-completion and type checking.
