Understanding Contexts and Services for External Libraries
Hey
! I am trying to understand the core concepts
(scopes
, layers
, contexts
, etc
)
.
Let
's say that I am using an external library that interact with some kind of external service
(let
's say a db
)
.
I have to
:
- Create a context for the services
(I have more than this one
)
- Create the services
- Use
acquireRelease
acquireRelease
where
acquire
acquire
creates an instance of my Database
(external library
) and connects to it
. Then
release
release
disconnects it
Is it correct or am I completely wrong
?
