Concepts¶

This section builds the mental model Compono's other sections assume — what each piece is and when to reach for it, not the implementation details behind it (that's Architecture's job).

• The Composition Model — what "composing" a graph means in Compono's terms.
• Profiles — grouping configuration into a reusable unit.
• Registrations and Rules — the configuration surface: Register<T>, For<T>().Use(...), member rules.
• Shared Values — [Shared], reusing one instance across a composition.
• Providers — what a provider is and does.
• Determinism and Seeding — reproducible failures.
• Collections — CreateMany<T>() and collection-size policy.

Read these in order if you're new — each one builds on the last. If you already know what you're looking for, jump straight to the page above, or to How-to Guides to apply a concept to a task.
