Catalyst Servant - Dependency Inhibitor Library

### What is Servant ?

[](#what-is-servant-)

Servant is a dependency inhibitor based on a chain of responsibility. Servant provides the ability to resolve a given dependency based on a class name or a `ReflectionParameter`-Instance.

### Usage

[](#usage)

```
use Catalyst\Servant\{
    RepositoryServant,
    BlindServant
};

$servant = new RepositoryServant();
$servant->chain(new BlindServant());
$servant->ensure(DateTimeInterface::class, function() {
    return date_create();
});

$dateTime = $servant->resolve(DateTimeInterface::class);
```

### Boxed Servants

[](#boxed-servants)

This package serves the following `ServantInterface`-Implementations:

- `RepositoryServant` - A repository based servant that allows to assign aliases and interfaces to concretes.
- `BlindServant` - A blind servant that allows the instancing of objects out of the blue.
- `NullServant` - A null servant that returns null and acts as an end point to guarantee a null-result when no dependency resolver was successful.
