Interface APIProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultAPIProvider

public interface APIProvider

To keep our dependencies simple in the current Openstack4J, we utilize ServiceLoader to load a provider who is responsible for loading the implementation for any of the defined API interfaces. This allows us to avoid pulling in extra 3rd party dependencies such as Guice, Inject, etc. It also allows us flexibility on the provider which may be overriden and choose to bind modules and simple delegate out the get(Class) calls

Method Detail

initialize

void initialize()

Called after the APIProvider is constructed. This allows the provider to pre-initialize or bind any interface implementations if desired

<T> T get(Class<T> api)

Gets the implementation for the specified interface type

Type Parameters:

T - the Openstack4j API type

Parameters:

api - the API interface
