Koin supports this approach by resolving and injecting dependencies automatically based on the definitions you provide in its modules.

While Koin has similarities to this pattern (because you can explicitly request instances from Koinโs context), its primary mode of operation aligns more with Dependency Injection, as it manages object creation and wiring automatically for you.
โ The confusion comes from the fact that Koin offers both injection and resolution on demand (via functions like get()), but its core mechanism follows the DI approach.
