What is KOIN? ✨

Koin is a pragmatic, lightweight dependency injection framework for Kotlin developers, developed by Kotzilla and open-source contributors.

The pragmatic Kotlin & Kotlin Multiplatform Dependency Injection framework
- Simple, Powerful and now Compile-Safe -

Compile-Safe Dependency Injection 🛡️

Koin is now compile-safe thanks to the Koin Compiler Plugin. Your dependency graph is verified at compile time — missing bindings, broken definitions, and misconfigured modules are caught by the compiler instead of crashing at runtime.

  • Catch missing or invalid dependencies before you run your app
  • Keep Koin's concise, idiomatic DSL — no extra boilerplate
  • Works across Kotlin & Kotlin Multiplatform targets

Get started with the Koin Compiler Plugin.

"Dispatch is a must read for Android devs today and my go-to for keeping up with all things Jetpack Compose. I eagerly await each issue, not just for the Compose gems honestly but for Vinay's unique insights, stories, and finds. The Dev Delight and Featured Dev sections are particular favorites of mine! He really should do a podcast."
