# FX Dependency Injection Implementation This document summarizes the changes made to implement uber-go/fx dependency injection in the CatsOfMastodonBotGo application. ## Overview We've replaced the global variable pattern with proper dependency injection using uber-go/fx. This improves: - Testability - Modularity - Explicit dependency management - Eliminates fragile initialization order dependencies ## Key Changes ### 1. Added Dependencies - Added `go.uber.org/fx` dependency to go.mod - Added `go.uber.org/zap` for structured logging ### 2. Refactored main.go - Replaced manual initialization with fx application - Used `fx.Provide` to register constructors for all components - Used `fx.Invoke` to start background tasks and server - Added proper logger integration ### 3. Refactored Configuration (config/config.go) - Removed global `Config` variable - Removed `Init()` function - Kept `Load()` function as constructor ### 4. Refactored Database (database/database.go) - Removed global `Gorm` variable - Function now accepts config as parameter ### 5. Refactored Services - **PostService**: Now accepts database and config as dependencies - **ImgKitHelper**: Now accepts config as dependency ### 6. Refactored Auth - **JwtTokenGenerator**: Now accepts config as dependency - **GiteaOAuth2Handler**: Now accepts config as dependency ### 7. Refactored Handlers - All handlers now use constructor injection - Dependencies are explicitly declared in constructor signatures - Removed global instance variables ### 8. Refactored Server/Router - Router now receives all handlers through fx dependency injection - Uses fx.Lifecycle for proper startup/shutdown handling ## Benefits Achieved 1. **Eliminated Global State**: No more global variables causing tight coupling 2. **Explicit Dependencies**: All dependencies are clearly visible in constructor signatures 3. **Automatic Wiring**: fx automatically resolves and injects dependencies 4. **Improved Testability**: Easy to mock dependencies for unit tests 5. **Reduced Boilerplate**: No need for manual initialization functions 6. **Error Detection**: Dependency resolution errors caught at startup ## Files Modified - cmd/CatsOfMastodonBotGo/main.go - go.mod - go.sum - internal/auth/jwt.go - internal/auth/oauth2.go - internal/config/config.go - internal/database/database.go - internal/server/router.go - internal/services/imgKitHelper.go - internal/services/postService.go - internal/web/handlers/adminDash.go - internal/web/handlers/apiEndpoint.go - internal/web/handlers/embedCard.go - internal/web/handlers/oauth.go
