What Is Init(args)?

Init(args) is a straightforward and type-safe solution for providing your components with all the objects that they depend on.

Here are some reasons why Init(args) could be the ideal choice to power the architecture of your next game…

✅ It’s Simple

Init(args)'s Inspector and attribute-based workflow is incredibly intuitive – the basics can literally be learned in a matter of minutes.

✅ It’s Inspector-Integrated

Services that clients will receive are visualized in the Inspector and support click-to-ping – just like you’re used to with serialized fields!

✅ It’s Dependable

Clients always receive the services they depend on before their Awake event – regardless of whether they’re loaded as part of a scene, instantiated from a prefab, or created using AddComponent.

✅ It’s Debuggable

Forgot to register a service that is required by a client?

Init(args) will guide you to resolve the issue with Inspector help boxes and Console messages.

In Play Mode you can see unserialized state in the Inspector so you can easily spot unreceived services.

And should everything else fail, there's even a Debugger window.

✅ It’s Highly Flexible

Global and local services, full interface support, cross-scene references, value providers… don’t let Init(args)’s ease-of-use mislead you into thinking it’s lacking in the power department!

✅ It’s Fast!

The simple and type-safe injection pipelines at the heart of Init(args) don’t depend on reflection, IL post-processing or source generators, while delivering class-leading performance.
