Summary

Public methods
`abstract @NonNull T`	`create(@NonNull Context context)` Initializes and a component given the application `Context`
`abstract @NonNull List<Class<Initializer<Object>>>`	`dependencies()`

abstract @NonNull T create(@NonNull Context context)

Initializes and a component given the application Context

Parameters
`@NonNull Context context`	The application context.

abstract @NonNull List<Class<Initializer<Object>>> dependencies()

Returns
`@NonNull List<Class<Initializer<Object>>>`	A list of dependencies that this `Initializer` depends on. This is used to determine initialization order of `Initializer`s. For e.g. if a `Initializer` `B` defines another `Initializer` `A` as its dependency, then `A` gets initialized before `B`.
