Types
Martin Fowler identifies three ways in which an object can get a reference to an external module, according to the pattern used to provide the dependency:
- Type 1 or interface injection, in which the exported module provides an interface that its users must implement in order to get the dependencies at runtime.
- Type 2 or setter injection, in which the dependent module exposes a setter method that the framework uses to inject the dependency.
- Type 3 or constructor injection, in which the dependencies are provided through the class constructor.
It is possible for other frameworks to have other types of injection, beyond those presented above.

Famous quotes containing the word types:
“Our children evaluate themselves based on the opinions we have of them. When we use harsh words, biting comments, and a sarcastic tone of voice, we plant the seeds of self-doubt in their developing minds.... Children who receive a steady diet of these types of messages end up feeling powerless, inadequate, and unimportant. They start to believe that they are bad, and that they can never do enough.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
“... there are two types of happiness and I have chosen that of the murderers. For I am happy. There was a time when I thought I had reached the limit of distress. Beyond that limit, there is a sterile and magnificent happiness.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“The bourgeoisie loves so-called “positive” types and novels with happy endings since they lull one into thinking that it is fine to simultaneously acquire capital and maintain one’s innocence, to be a beast and still be happy.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
