### Usage

[](#usage)

#### `calderawp\CalderaContainers\Container`

[](#calderawpcalderacontainerscontainer)

@todo

#### `calderawp\CalderaContainers\ControlledContainer`

[](#calderawpcalderacontainerscontrolledcontainer)

@todo

#### `calderawp\CalderaContainers\Service\Container`

[](#calderawpcalderacontainersservicecontainer)

#### Binding As Factory

[](#binding-as-factory)

Add a binding that returns a *new* object of the same class using the alias `std`

```
$container = new \calderawp\CalderaContainers\Service\Container();
$container->bind( 'std', function (){
     $obj = new \stdClass();
     $obj->foo = rand();
     return $obj;
});

//$obj1->foo !== $obj2->foo
$obj1 = $container->make('std');
$obj2 = $container->make('std');
```

#### Binding A Singleton

[](#binding-a-singleton)

Add a binding that returns a *the same* object of the same class using the alias `std`. You MUST instantiate class before binding.

```
$container = new \calderawp\CalderaContainers\Service\Container();
$obj = new \stdClass();
$obj->foo = rand();
$container->singleton( 'std', $obj );

//$obj1->foo === $obj2->foo
$obj1 = $container->make('std');
$obj2 = $container->make('std');
```

#### Binding A Lazy-Loaded Singleton

[](#binding-a-lazy-loaded-singleton)

Add a binding that returns a *the same* object of the same class using the alias `std`. Class is instantiated 1 times, but is not instantiated until used, if ever.

```
$container = new \calderawp\CalderaContainers\Service\Container();
$container->singleton( 'std', function (){
     $obj = new \stdClass();
     $obj->foo = rand();
     return $obj;
});

//$obj1->foo === $obj2->foo
$obj1 = $container->make('std');
$obj2 = $container->make('std');
