Chapter 7, Dependency Injection with Method Injection

Method injection is great for the following:

• Functions, frameworks, and shared libraries
• Requesting scoped dependencies, such as context or user credentials
• Stateless objects

2. Why is it important not to save dependencies injected with method injection?
