It is possible to add a deactivation handler for a type binded in singleton scope. The handler can be synchronous or asynchronous. The deactivation handler is invoked before the type is unbinded from the container:
@injectable()
class Destroyable {
}
const container: Container = new Container();
container.bind<Destroyable>("Destroyable").toDynamicValue(() => Promise.resolve(new Destroyable())).inSingletonScope()
.onDeactivation((destroyable: Destroyable) => {
console.log("Destroyable service is about to be unbinded");
});
await container.get("Destroyable");
await container.unbind("Destroyable");It's possible to add a deactivation handler in multiple ways
- Adding the handler to the container.
- Adding the handler to a binding.
- Adding the handler to the class through the preDestroy decorator.
Handlers added to the container are the first ones to be resolved. Any handler added to a child container is called before the ones added to their parent. Relevant bindings from the container are called next and finally the preDestroy method is called. In the example above, relevant bindings are those bindings bound to the unbinded "Destroyable" service identifier.
The example below demonstrates call order.
let roll = 1;
let binding = null;
let klass = null;
let parent = null;
let child = null;
@injectable()
class Destroyable {
@preDestroy()
public myPreDestroyMethod() {
return new Promise((presolve) => {
klass = roll;
roll += 1;
presolve({});
});
}
}
const container: Container = new Container();
container.onDeactivation("Destroyable", () => {
return new Promise((presolve) => {
parent = roll;
roll += 1;
presolve();
});
});
const childContainer = container.createChild();
childContainer.bind<Destroyable>("Destroyable").to(Destroyable).inSingletonScope().onDeactivation(() => new Promise((presolve) => {
binding = roll;
roll += 1;
presolve();
}));
childContainer.onDeactivation("Destroyable", () => {
return new Promise((presolve) => {
child = roll;
roll += 1;
presolve();
});
});
childContainer.get("Destroyable");
await childContainer.unbindAsync("Destroyable");
expect(roll).eql(5);
expect(child).eql(1);
expect(parent).eql(2);
expect(binding).eql(3);
expect(klass).eql(4);
