Class DependencyRequest

java.lang.Object

dagger.model.DependencyRequest

public abstract class DependencyRequest
extends Object

Represents a request for a Key at an injection point. For example, parameters to Inject constructors, Provides methods, and component methods are all dependency requests.

A dependency request is considered to be synthetic if it does not have an Element in code that requests the key directly. For example, an Executor is required for all @Produces methods to run asynchronously even though it is not directly specified as a parameter to the binding method.
