• @Binds vs @Provides patterns
• Scoping (@Singleton, @ViewModelScoped)
• Store5 provider configuration
• Component hierarchy (SingletonComponent, ViewModelComponent)
• Multi-module Hilt setup
• Testing with Hilt

Project-Specific Modules

@Module
@InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class)
abstract class RepositoryModule {

    @Binds
    abstract fun bindContentRepository(
        impl: ContentRepositoryImpl
    ): ContentRepository

    @Binds
    abstract fun bindAuthRepository(

    ): DetailsRepository

    @Binds
    abstract fun bindLibraryRepository(
        impl: LibraryRepositoryImpl
    ): LibraryRepository

Store5 Module (data/di/StoreModule.kt)

@Module
@InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class)
object StoreModule {

    private const val MEMORY_CACHE_SIZE = 100L

    @Provides
    @Singleton
    fun provideMovieStore(
        api: TmdbApi,
        dao: CachedContentDao
    ): Store<MovieContentKey, List<ContentItem>> = StoreBuilder.from(
        fetcher = Fetcher.of { key ->
            api.getMovies(key.category.apiPath, key.page)
                .results
                .map { it.toContentItem() }
        },
        sourceOfTruth = SourceOfTruth.of(
            reader = { key ->
                dao.observeByCategory(key.category.name)
                    .map { entities -> entities.map { it.toContentItem() } }
            },
            writer = { key, data ->
                dao.upsertAll(data.toCachedEntities(key.category, key.page))
            },
            delete = { key ->
                dao.deleteByCategory(key.category.name)
            },
            deleteAll = {
                dao.deleteAll()
            }
        )
    ).cachePolicy(
        MemoryPolicy.builder<MovieContentKey, List<ContentItem>>()
            .setMaxSize(MEMORY_CACHE_SIZE)
            .build()
    ).build()

    @Provides
    @Singleton
    fun provideTvStore(
        api: TmdbApi,
        dao: CachedTvContentDao
    ): Store<TvContentKey, List<ContentItem>> = StoreBuilder.from(

                    .map { entities -> entities.map { it.toContentItem() } }
            },
            writer = { key, data ->
                dao.upsertAll(data.toCachedEntities(key.category, key.page))
            }
        )
    ).cachePolicy(
        MemoryPolicy.builder<TvContentKey, List<ContentItem>>()
            .setMaxSize(MEMORY_CACHE_SIZE)
            .build()
    ).build()
}

Network Module (core/network/di/NetworkModule.kt)

@Module
@InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class)
object NetworkModule {

    @Provides
    @Singleton
    fun provideOkHttpClient(
        authInterceptor: AuthInterceptor
    ): OkHttpClient = OkHttpClient.Builder()
        .addInterceptor(authInterceptor)
        .addInterceptor(HttpLoggingInterceptor().apply {
            level = if (BuildConfig.DEBUG)
                HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY
            else
                HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.NONE
        })
        .connectTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
        .readTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
        .build()

    @Provides
    @Singleton
    fun provideMoshi(): Moshi = Moshi.Builder()
        .add(KotlinJsonAdapterFactory())
        .build()

    @Provides
    @Singleton
    fun provideRetrofit(
        client: OkHttpClient,
        moshi: Moshi
    ): Retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()
        .baseUrl(BuildConfig.BASE_URL)
        .client(client)
        .addConverterFactory(MoshiConverterFactory.create(moshi))
        .build()

    @Provides
    @Singleton
    fun provideTmdbApi(retrofit: Retrofit): TmdbApi =
        retrofit.create(TmdbApi::class.java)
}

Database Module (core/local/di/DatabaseModule.kt)

@Module
@InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class)
object DatabaseModule {

    @Provides
    @Singleton
    fun provideDatabase(
        @ApplicationContext context: Context
    ): MoviesAndBeyondDatabase = Room.databaseBuilder(
        context,
        MoviesAndBeyondDatabase::class.java,
        "movies_database"
    )
    .fallbackToDestructiveMigration()
    .build()

    @Provides
    fun provideCachedContentDao(
        database: MoviesAndBeyondDatabase
    ): CachedContentDao = database.cachedContentDao()

    @Provides
    fun provideFavoritesDao(
        database: MoviesAndBeyondDatabase
    ): FavoritesDao = database.favoritesDao()

    @Provides
    fun provideWatchlistDao(
        database: MoviesAndBeyondDatabase
    ): WatchlistDao = database.watchlistDao()
}

DataStore Module (core/local/di/DataStoreModule.kt)

@Module
@InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class)
object DataStoreModule {

    @Provides
    @Singleton
    fun provideUserPreferencesDataStore(
        @ApplicationContext context: Context
    ): DataStore<UserPreferences> = context.userPreferencesDataStore

    @Provides
    @Singleton
    fun provideSessionManager(
        @ApplicationContext context: Context
    ): SessionManager = SessionManager(context)
}

@Binds vs @Provides

Use @Binds for Interface Binding

// When you have an interface and its implementation
@Binds
abstract fun bindRepository(impl: RepositoryImpl): Repository

Use @Provides for Object Creation

// When you need to create/configure objects
@Provides
@Singleton
fun provideDatabase(context: Context): Database =
    Room.databaseBuilder(...).build()

Hilt Setup in Application

// app/src/main/java/.../MoviesAndBeyondApplication.kt
@HiltAndroidApp
class MoviesAndBeyondApplication : Application()

Hilt Setup in Activity

// app/src/main/java/.../MainActivity.kt
@AndroidEntryPoint
class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContent {
            MoviesAndBeyondTheme {
                MoviesAndBeyondApp()
            }
        }
    }
}

Convention Plugin for Hilt

// build-logic/convention/src/main/kotlin/AndroidHiltConventionPlugin.kt
class AndroidHiltConventionPlugin : Plugin<Project> {
    override fun apply(target: Project) {
        with(target) {
            pluginManager.apply("com.google.devtools.ksp")
            pluginManager.apply("dagger.hilt.android.plugin")

            dependencies {
                "implementation"(libs.findLibrary("hilt.android").get())
                "ksp"(libs.findLibrary("hilt.compiler").get())
            }
        }
    }
}

Testing with Hilt

Test Module Replacement

@Module
@TestInstallIn(
    components = [SingletonComponent::class],
    replaces = [NetworkModule::class]
)
object TestNetworkModule {
    @Provides
    @Singleton
    fun provideFakeTmdbApi(): TmdbApi = FakeTmdbApi()
}

HiltViewModel Testing

@HiltAndroidTest
class MoviesViewModelTest {
    @get:Rule
    val hiltRule = HiltAndroidRule(this)

    @Inject
    lateinit var repository: ContentRepository

    @Before
    fun setup() {
        hiltRule.inject()
    }
}

Code Review Checklist

• Modules use correct @InstallIn component
• @Singleton used only where needed (expensive objects)
• @Binds used for interface → implementation
• @Provides used for object construction
• DAOs provided from Database (not re-created)
• Network clients are singletons
• Store5 instances are singletons
• No circular dependencies
• Test modules use @TestInstallIn

Anti-Patterns

WRONG: Creating singletons in @Provides without @Singleton

@Provides
fun provideDatabase(context: Context): Database = // Missing @Singleton!
    Room.databaseBuilder(...).build()

WRONG: Using @Provides for simple bindings

@Provides
fun provideRepository(impl: RepositoryImpl): Repository = impl // Use @Binds!

WRONG: Re-creating DAOs

@Provides
fun provideDao(context: Context): SomeDao = // Wrong! Get from database
    Room.databaseBuilder(...).build().someDao()

Future: Metro DI Migration

Metro DI migration is planned for a future sprint. See .claude/specs/features/metro-di-migration.md for details. Current focus remains on Hilt patterns.
