[inversify-express-utils] - No support for @controller on inevrfisy-binding-decorators?

[jonit-dev]

Hey folks, I'm trying to implement here the inversify-binding-decorators together with the inversify-express-utils lib. Unfortunately, I wasn't didn't manage to make my @controller bindings to work properly. They do not seem to be recognized and I'm having to load all of them through a container.load

for example:

container.load(
  buildProviderModule(),
  assetControllerContainer,
  collectionControllerContainer,
  userControllerContainer,
  trackerControllerContainer,
  quoteControllerContainer,
  indicatorControllerContainer,
  portfolioControllerContainer,
  companyControllerContainer,
  orderControllerContainer,
  newsControllerContainer
);

Expected Behavior

I was expecting to add a @provide() on any of my controllers and it's automatically bound into my inversify container, so I don't need to load all of them manually with container.load (like above)

Current Behavior

Any @provide(CLASSNAMEHERE) on my controllers simply leads to a unbound controller (route throws a 404)

Possible Solution

A temporary workaround is binding modules manually and them loading them on container.load.

For example:

export const assetControllerContainer = new ContainerModule((bind: interfaces.Bind, unbind: interfaces.Unbind) => {
  bind<CreateAssetController>(CreateAssetController).toSelf();
  bind<FilterAssetController>(FilterAssetController).toSelf();
  bind<ReadAssetController>(ReadAssetController).toSelf();
});

then

container.load(
  buildProviderModule(),
  assetControllerContainer,
  ....
);

Yes. the controllers should be manually imported in your ioc file. I know this is not ideal
