An API to bind multiple values separately, only to later inject them as a complete collection. Multibinder is intended for use in your application's module:

public class SnacksModule extends AbstractModule {
  protected void configure() {
    Multibinder<Snack> multibinder
        = Multibinder.newSetBinder(binder(), Snack.class);
    multibinder.addBinding().toInstance(new Twix());
    multibinder.addBinding().toProvider(SnickersProvider.class);
    multibinder.addBinding().to(Skittles.class);
  }
}

With this binding, a Set<Snack> can now be injected:

 class SnackMachine { @Inject public SnackMachine(Set<Snack> snacks) { ... } }
If desired, Collection<Provider<Snack>> can also be injected.

Contributing multibindings from different modules is supported. For example, it is okay for both CandyModule and ChipsModule to create their own Multibinder<Snack>, and to each contribute bindings to the set of snacks. When that set is injected, it will contain elements from both modules.

The set's iteration order is consistent with the binding order. This is convenient when multiple elements are contributed by the same module because that module can order its bindings appropriately. Avoid relying on the iteration order of elements contributed by different modules, since there is no equivalent mechanism to order modules.

The set is unmodifiable. Elements can only be added to the set by configuring the multibinder. Elements can never be removed from the set.

Elements are resolved at set injection time. If an element is bound to a provider, that provider's get method will be called each time the set is injected (unless the binding is also scoped).

Annotations are be used to create different sets of the same element type. Each distinct annotation gets its own independent collection of elements.

Elements must be distinct. If multiple bound elements have the same value, set injection will fail.

Elements must be non-null. If any set element is null, set injection will fail.
