cheerios-container
==================

[](#cheerios-container)

This is a minimal and configurable implementation of a PHP dependency injection container.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

#### Creating an instance of a class

[](#creating-an-instance-of-a-class)

Calling ->get() or invoking the container will yield an instance of the provided class name.

```
$container = Container::getInstance();

$instance = $container->get(SomeClass::class);
$otherInstance = $container(SomeClass::class); // __invoke() is a short-hand for get()
```

#### Setting default arguments and passing arguments to the Container

[](#setting-default-arguments-and-passing-arguments-to-the-container)

Default arguments can be set for classes that have primitive arguments in their constructors. Additionally, arguments can be passed to ->get() or \_\_invoke() and they will override any conflicting pre-registered value. Trying to create an instance of a class with a primitive argument without providing a value will throw.

```
$container = Container::getInstance()
    ->registerArgs(SomeClass::class, [
        "argumentOne" => "hello",
        "argumentTwo" => "overwrite me!",
    ]);

$instance = $container(
    class: SomeClass::class,
    args: ["argumentTwo" => "world"]
);
```

#### Setting strategies

[](#setting-strategies)

Strategies skip the Container's resolver entirely, as well as registered interfaces and arguments.

```
$container->registerStrategy(SpecialClass::class, function() {
    return specialFunctionThatReturnsASpecialClassInstance();
});

$specialInstance = $container(SpecialClass::class);
```

#### Registering a default for an interface

[](#registering-a-default-for-an-interface)

The provided class name is instantiated when the Container is called on its interface.

```
$container->registerInterface(SomeInterface::class, SomeClass::class);

$instance = $container(SomeInterface::class);
```
