Playframework scala class controller vs object controller

How to define a controller class in playframework (that will be injected by a dependency container)?

For the app/controllers/controller

package controllers

import play.api.Play

/*object*class MainController(name:String) {
  import play.api.Play.current
  def index = Ok(Html("index ok "+name))
}

My app/Global.scala

package app
object Global extends GlobalSettings with SecuredSettings with Logger {
  override def getControllerInstance[A](controllerClass: Class[A]) = 
     new MainController("first")
}

My conf/routes file is

GET     /          controllers.MainController.index

I get the following error

[error] ............/conf/routes:1: value index is not a member of object controllers.MainController
[error] GET  / controllers.MainController.index

I suggest looking up the official documentation. Which also contains links to repositories with examples of how to get started with the dependency injection framework of choice.

https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.3.x/ScalaDependencyInjection

Might be worth keeping in mind that play 2.4.x will use Guice by default.
