forwardRef

forwardRef

In the following example, Person is defined before Father but relies on Father. In this case, you should use forwardRef to wrap Father. Otherwise redi would receive undefined when tries to figure out dependencies of Person (and it would throw an error in that case).

import { Self, SkipSelf } from '@wendellhu/redi'
 
class Person {
  constructor(
    @Self() @Inject(forwardRef(() => Father)) private readonly father: Father,
    @SkipSelf()
    @Inject(forwardRef(() => Father))
    private readonly grandfather: Father
  ) {}
}
 
class Man extends Person {}
class Father extends Man {
  changeDiaper(): void {}
}
💡
This is not related to redi itself but how TypeScript is transpiled into JavaScript.
