Use @Inject inside the module class

[vishesh kamdar]

So I'm trying to do something like this inside the Module class

@Inject(optional = true)
@Named("TotalQuantity")
private int totalQuantity = 5

Is this the correct way to set the default value, if the dependency is not provided?

As far as I can understand, use @Autowired inside a Spring config but cannot use @Inject in a Guice Module file. Is this true? (JAVA) I want to use something like this inside the Module class public class MyModule extends AbstractModule {

@Inject(optional = true) @Named("TotalQuantity")

private int totalQuantity = 5; @Provides @Singleton Boolean getBoolean() { if(totalQuantity>10) return true; else return false; } @Override protected void configure() {} }

Is this the correct way to set the default value, if the dependency is not provided?

You probably want to use a Provider (which can take injected constructor params) or a @Provides method (which can take injected method params) if you want to have Guice-injected types as inputs to your module logic.

Yes, that was the approach I used. Used a Provider Binding. Is there a better way to handle this?
