Hilt Dependency Injection in Kotlin: Simplifying Software Building Blocks

Imagine you’re building a huge Lego castle. You have many different Lego pieces, and they need to fit together perfectly to create your dream castle. Each Lego piece has a unique role: some are walls, some are towers, and some are drawbridges.

Now, think of computer programs as something similar to Lego castles. Instead of Lego pieces, programs are made up of small “building blocks” called “components” or “dependencies.” These building blocks help the program do its job, just like Lego pieces help create a castle.

Hilt Dependency Injection is like having a magical assistant who understands exactly which Lego pieces (or program components) you need, where to find them, and how to put them together. This magical assistant does this to make sure your program (or Lego castle) is strong, efficient, and easy to change when you want to add something new.

Here’s how Hilt works:

1. Identifying Building Blocks: Hilt helps you identify which building blocks your program needs. Just like you know which Lego pieces you need for your castle, Hilt knows which program components are required.
2. Getting the Right Blocks: Hilt goes to a special place (like a magical Lego store) where all the program building blocks are kept. It…
