Short syntax

[matjaz]

instead of writing

var module = {
  car: ['type', Car],
  power: ['value', 1184]
}

you simply write

var module = {
  car: di.type(Car),
  power: 1184
}

The main reason for the current kind of ugly string syntax was that you don't have to include DI in order to define a module. So I'm not sure if this is worthy (even though it is a nicer)...

[matjaz]

that's true, but using module in this syntax is specific to node-di. For example to access Car you have to write

module.car[1]

which is a bit cumbersome and lib specific.

alternatively (what di.type() does is):

Car.$type = 'type';
var module = {
  car: Car,
  power: 1184
}
