Awilix is a JavaScript dependency injection framework and inversion of control container. It provides a centralized system for registering and resolving services, decoupling application components by automating how dependencies are created and passed to the functions or classes that require them.
The framework features an automatic module loader that scans the filesystem using glob patterns to register dependencies based on filenames and exports. It supports parameter-name-based injection and proxy-based resolution to manage how dependencies are delivered to constructors and functions.
The system manages object lifecycles through singleton and transient patterns, including hierarchical container scoping for request-specific state. It includes capabilities for resource disposal, dependency lifetime validation, and registration verification to ensure resolution correctness.
