[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/92640dc5df62c8aeae5c1f38d2708c2b103ebb9e1978ad1497bffb2ab5a08e95/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f6173676172647068702f636f6e7461696e65722e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/asgardphp/container)

The container provides services to the application. In the Asgard framework, the container is often stored in the container variable.

- [Installation](#installation)
- [Usage in the Asgard Framework](#usage-asgard)
- [Usage outside the Asgard Framework](#usage-outside)
- [Registering a service](#registering)
- [Accessing a service](#accessing)
- [Creating a new service instance](#creating)
- [Checking if a service exists](#checking)
- [Removing a service](#removing)
- [ContainerAware Trait](#containeraware)
- [Commands](#commands)

\##Installation **If you are working on an Asgard project you don't need to install this library as it is already part of the standard libraries.**

```
composer require asgard/container 0.*

```

\##Usage in the Asgard Framework

The container is often accessible as a method parameter or through a [ContainerAware](#containeraware) object. You can also use the [singleton](#usage-outside) but it is not recommended.

\##Usage outside the Asgard Framework

```
$container = new \Asgard\Container\Container;
#or
$container = new \Asgard\Container\Container::singleton();

```

\##Registering a service

```
$container->register('cache', function($container, $param) {
	return new \Cache($param);
});
#or
$container['cache'] = new \Cache($param);
#or
$container->set('cache', new \Cache($param));

```

Register a service without persistency:

```
$container->register('cache', function($container, $param) {
	return new \Cache($param);
}, false);

```

$container\['cache'\] will create a new instance every time it is called.

\##Accessing a service

```
$cache = $container->get('cache', [$param]);
#or
$cache = $container['cache'];

```

If you call it multiple times, the container will make sure the same instance is returned every time.

\##Creating a new service instance

```
$cache = $container->make('cache', [$param]);

```

\##Checking if a service exists

```
$container->has('cache');
#or
isset($container['cache']);

```

\##Removing a service

```
$container->remove('cache');
#or
unset($container['cache']);

```

\##ContainerAware Trait

This trait provides two methods:

- setContainer($container)
- getContainer()

and a protected member variable "$container".

To use it, add the following line in a class just after the opening bracket

```
use \Asgard\Container\ContainerAware;

```

\##Commands

\###ListCommand

Show all the services loaded in the application.

Usage:

```
php console services [--defined] [--registered]

```

\--defined: to show where a service was defined

\--registered: to shown where a service was registered
