2025 Report: Destructive Malware in Open Source Packages
Destructive malware is rising across open source registries, using delays and kill switches to wipe code, break builds, and disrupt CI/CD.

If you wish to update or extend wire, please do so in a fork.
Wire is a code generation tool that automates connecting components using dependency injection. Dependencies between components are represented in Wire as function parameters, encouraging explicit initialization instead of global variables. Because Wire operates without runtime state or reflection, code written to be used with Wire is useful even for hand-written initialization.
For an overview, see the introductory blog post.
Install Wire by running:
go install github.com/google/wire/cmd/wire@latest
and ensuring that $GOPATH/bin is added to your $PATH.
As of version v0.3.0, Wire is beta and is considered feature complete. It works well for the tasks it was designed to perform, and we prefer to keep it as simple as possible.
We'll not be accepting new features at this time, but will gladly accept bug reports and fixes.
For questions, please use GitHub Discussions.
