Hi,

I’ve wrote a dependency injection container for dart (https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/catalyst) several time ago.
The problem is that this package uses the dart:mirrors library which isn’t available in Flutter yet.

Is there is any chance to get the mirrors library in Flutter?

Best,

Julian

I'd guess that mirrors defy the idea of tree shaking (stripping unused code from the compiled app) and therefore are incompatible with Flutter's AOT (ahead of time) compiling to native machine code.

Have you looked into https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/reflectable as an alternative?

You can try this one https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/kiwi for dependency injection
