RegistryProxyMixin#inject()

Define a dependency injection onto a specific factory or all factories of a type.

When Ember instantiates a controller, view, or other framework component it can attach a dependency to that component. This is often used to provide services to a set of framework components.

An example of providing a session object to all controllers:

let App = Ember.Application.create();
let Session = Ember.Object.extend({ isAuthenticated: false });

// A factory must be registered before it can be injected
App.register('session:main', Session);

// Inject 'session:main' onto all factories of the type 'controller'
// with the name 'session'
App.inject('controller', 'session', 'session:main');

App.IndexController = Ember.Controller.extend({
  isLoggedIn: Ember.computed.alias('session.isAuthenticated')
});

Injections can also be performed on specific factories.

App.inject(<full_name or type>, <property name>, <full_name>)
App.inject('route', 'source', 'source:main')
App.inject('route:application', 'email', 'model:email')

It is important to note that injections can only be performed on classes that are instantiated by Ember itself. Instantiating a class directly (via create or new) bypasses the dependency injection system.

Note: Ember-Data instantiates its models in a unique manner, and consequently injections onto models (or all models) will not work as expected. Injections on models can be enabled by setting EmberENV.MODEL_FACTORY_INJECTIONS to true.
