Init(args) is a seamlessly integrated and type safe framework for providing your Components and ScriptableObjects with their dependencies.

Main Features

• Add Component with arguments.
• Instantiate with arguments.
• Create Instance with arguments.
• new GameObject with arguments.
• Initializers – use interfaces, value providers.
• Services – automatically received by clients as Init arguments.
• Wrappers – attach plain old class objects to GameObjects.
• InitOnReset / InitInEditMode – auto-assign references in edit mode
• Assign to read-only fields and properties.
• Type-safe and reflection-free dependency injection.

Introduction

Did you ever wish you could just call Add Component with arguments like this:

Player player = gameObject.AddComponent<Player, IInputManager>(inputManager);

Or maybe you’ve sometimes wished you could Instantiate with arguments like so:

Player player = playerPrefab.Instantiate(inputManager);

And wouldn’t it be great if you could create ScriptableObject instances with arguments as well:

DialogueAsset dialogue = Create.Instance<DialogueAsset, Guid>(id);

This is precisely what Init(args) let’s you do! All you need to do is derive your class from one of the generic MonoBehaviour<T…> base classes, and you’ll be able to receive upto six arguments in your Init function.

In cases where you can’t derive from a base class you can also implement the IInitializable<T> interface and manually handle receiving the arguments with a single line of code (see the InitArgs section of the documentation for more details).
