setproviding
Setproviding is a term used in dependency-injection (DI) systems to describe the pattern of supplying a collection of bindings as a single injectable value. It is commonly implemented through multibindings that contribute to a Set<T>, allowing multiple providers to supply individual elements that are gathered into one set injected into a consumer.
Contributors register bindings for elements of type T; the DI container aggregates these into a Set<T> during
Examples and implementations vary by framework. In Dagger, multibindings can form a Set<T> by using a provider
Benefits of setproviding include modularity and extensibility, as modules can contribute implementations without direct dependencies on
Drawbacks include added complexity in the DI configuration, potential nondeterminism in the order of set elements,
