Powering up Dagger for Less Code and Cleaner Architecture
Dagger is a tool for generating dependencies…right? Nope, it can do a LOT more than that. Dagger’s ability to fine-tune graph lifecycle and associations, and link graphs to each other in tree relationships, is powerful enough to drive actual business logic and enforce separation of layers. The key is leveraging custom scopes, annotations, and subcomponents. Using them effectively makes complex apps simpler to write and maintain.
At Square, we’re building a new app that supports dynamically generated user flows at runtime. Instead of writing that logic into spaghetti, we leverage Dagger and Anvil to reduce the business logic we have to maintain. In this talk, I’ll cover:
* How custom annotations help save code
* Custom scopes and subcomponents, how they work, and how to use them to maintain clean architecture
* How we scale this at the app-level, using Dagger to manage our navigation experience and keep our business logic layers clean.
