Dependency-Inversion Principles

 

   In object-oriented programming, the dependency inversion principle refers to a specific form of decoupling where conventional dependency relationships established from high-level, policy-setting modules to low-level, dependency modules are inverted (i.e. reversed) for the purpose of rendering high-level modules independent of the low-level module implementation details. The principle states:

   A. High-level modules should not depend on low-level modules. Both should depend on abstractions.
   B. Abstractions should not depend upon details. Details should depend upon abstractions.
