Any updates on this issue?

Thank you so much @zmmille2 for your comment. Can you please share couple of use cases that you will use dependency injection for with Functions?

[zmmille2]

C# Azure Functions supports DI already. There are a ton of examples of use cases for DI.

For me personally, I'd really love to DI in services I depend on so I can mock them more easily for testing. Right now, I'm looking at using PowerMock, but doing so is definitely a code smell.

So, is DI for Java Azure Functions on the road map at all?

[amamounelsayed]

Yes sir, it is in our road map no ETA yet. We will keep this thread update it.

Hi, I just wanted to bring the topic of DI for the Azure function. Are there any updates on ETA?

Thank you so much @gmvg, we have partner team will work on initial work for this feature next week. Hope we will be in a state that we can have the community build on it soon.

Hello, do you have any contact information for your partner team or their repos? At least knowing if they're going to be basing it around a framework would reduce churn later - e.g. will it be Spring?

@andy-clapham For now, you can use Spring Framework to use Azure Function for HTTP requests only (not the bindings.

Here is a sample of how to use it.

Hey~
Do we have Dependency Injection for Spring framework now in 2022 June?

Hello

It's been more than 2+ years since any update on DI for java azure functions.

[kaibocai]

For now, you can use Spring Cloud Function on Azure for DI on java azure functions.

The DI Hook feature will be roll out in upcoming months, it will allows you to use whatever DI framework you preferred.
