Koin is a lightweight dependency injection (DI) framework for Kotlin.
Key Features:
- DSL-based → Uses a simple Kotlin DSL instead of annotations or code generation.
- Lightweight & fast → No proxies or reflection-heavy processes.
- Multiplatform support → Works with Android, KMM (Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile), and backend apps.
- Integration → Easily integrates with Android components, coroutines, and Jetpack libraries.
Example:
val appModule = module {
single { UserRepository() }
viewModel { UserViewModel(get()) }
}
Koin makes dependency management in Kotlin projects clean, simple, and easy to maintain compared to heavier frameworks like Dagger.
