ScalaModule

Allows binding via type parameters. Mix into AbstractModule (or subclass) to allow using a type parameter instead of classOf[Foo] or new TypeLiteral[Bar[Foo]] {}.

For example, instead of

class MyModule extends AbstractModule {
  def configure {
    bind(classOf[Service]).to(classOf[ServiceImpl]).in(classOf[Singleton])
    bind(classOf[CreditCardPaymentService])
    bind(new TypeLiteral[Bar[Foo]]{}).to(classOf[FooBarImpl])
    bind(classOf[PaymentService]).to(classOf[CreditCardPaymentService])
  }
}

use

class MyModule extends AbstractModule with ScalaModule {
  def configure {
    bind[Service].to[ServiceImpl].in[Singleton]
    bind[CreditCardPaymentService]
    bind[Bar[Foo]].to[FooBarImpl]
    bind[PaymentService].to[CreditCardPaymentService]
  }
}

Note This syntax allows binding to and from generic types. It doesn't currently allow bindings between wildcard types because the manifests for wildcard types don't provide access to type bounds.
