Litestar Dependency Injection

Use this skill for Provide, NamedDependency / SkipValidation, dependency maps, provider factories, request-scoped resources, and Dishka integration.

Code Style Rules

• Mark every name-based injected parameter with NamedDependency[T]. Use NamedDependency[SkipValidation[T]] only for trusted provider output that must bypass validation.
• Wrap providers in Provide. For synchronous providers, set sync_to_thread=True for blocking work or False for trivial non-blocking work; leaving it unspecified emits a warning.
• Use Litestar dependency maps for simple and medium apps.
• Use Dishka when the project needs explicit scopes and provider modules.
• Keep provider names stable and descriptive.
• Do not open request-scoped resources at import time.
