The following methods are used to eliminate mutual dependencies between modules or components of a system:
-
Dependency Injection: allows dependencies to be passed from outside, reducing tight coupling of components.
-
Using interfaces and abstractions: modules interact through abstract interfaces rather than directly with each other.
-
Refactoring architecture: isolating common dependencies into separate modules or services to avoid cyclic references.
-
Event-driven architecture (Event Bus, Observer): components exchange messages through an intermediary, without knowing about each other directly.
-
Modules with clearly defined APIs: each module provides a limited set of functions, reducing the need for direct mutual calls.
Example: if two modules A and B depend on each other, an interface can be defined that one of them implements, and it can be passed via DI to break the cyclic dependency.
