###### tags: `learning`

### What is DI, IoC, IoC container anyway?

### NestJS module revisited
- Root module
- Feature module
- Global module
- Module import tree
- Handon

Refs:
https://docs.nestjs.com/modules

### NestJS provider revisited
- Services, repositories, helpers...
- Injectable
- DI
- Contructor-based
- Property-based
- What if we don't have access to DI for a particular provider?
- In `bootstrap()` method
- Injection scopes
- Default
- Hierarchy
- Handon
- Class-based vs non-class-based & short-hand
- Custom provider with compatible interface (structural typing)
- IoC container and DI flow

@startuml
(*) --> Factory create (NestFactory)
--> Create IoC container (NestContainer)
--> Scan and register dependencies meta (providers, controllers...) to IoC container (DependenciesScanner)
--> Instantiate dependencies (DI) (InstanceLoader & Injector)
--> Application initialization (NestApplication)

### Common issues
#### Circular dependency
- Forward ref (provider vs module)
- Barrel file
#### Cannot resolve dependencies
