DI service not available in constructor

I need to initialize a websocket listener and want to do it in the constructor of the main AppController:

export class AppController {
  @dependency websocketService!: WebsocketService;

  constructor() {
    this.websocketService.listen();
  }
}

It seems like the service is not yet injected at the time I call it in the constructor. Is there a common approach on how to handle this with DI in FoalTS?

Ok, great! Thanks alot, this seems to work for now.

Even if a controller is not a service, you can also still retrieve it in the same way.

const app = createApp(AppController);
app.foal.services.get(AppController).init();

export class AppController {
  @dependency a: A;
  @dependency b: B;

  init() {
    this.a.doSomething();
    this.b.doSomething();
  }
}

This approach would have the advantage of preparing your code to the new init feature.
