JetBrains clarifies dependency injection plans for Ktor
JetBrains has cleared up confusion over its plans for dependency injection (DI) support in Ktor, which it revealed last week in its 2024 roadmap for the Kotlin-based framework. The company is now assuring users that there will be no requirement to use a DI framework with Ktor.
In a Kotlin blog post published March 18, Garth Gilmour, JetBrains’ developer advocate, said a lot of questions have arisen regarding DI since the roadmap was published on March 12. Users have questioned how Ktor will be changed to support DI and integrate existing DI frameworks. Ktor allows developers to build asynchronous server-side and client-side applications using Kotlin.
