Summary ------- [](#summary) **Chevere Container** is a minimalist PSR-11 dependency injection container. It provides `get` and `has` for service container-interop, along with immutable `with` and `without` methods for modifying container entries. It features automatic dependency resolution and injection. The container can automatically instantiate and inject class dependencies based on their constructor type hints. It also provides a `Dependencies` utility to collect, validate, and manage dependencies from multiple classes, ensuring type compatibility across the dependency graph. Installing ---------- [](#installing) Container is available through [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/chevere/container) and the repository source is at [chevere/container](https://github.com/chevere/container). ``` composer require chevere/container ``` Container usage --------------- [](#container-usage) Create a Container by passing the known dependencies. ``` use Chevere\Container\Container; $container = new Container( database: $database, cipher: $cipher, //... ); ``` ### Checking entries [](#checking-entries) Use `has` to check if an entry exists in the container. ``` $container->has('database'); // true $container->has('logger'); // false ``` ### Retrieving entries [](#retrieving-entries) Use `get` to retrieve an entry from the container. It will throw `ContainerNotFoundException` if the entry is not found. ``` $database = $container->get('database'); ``` ### Adding entries [](#adding-entries) Use `with` to add or replace entries in the container. ``` $newContainer = $container->with(logger: $logger); ``` ### Removing entries [](#removing-entries) Use `without` to remove entries from the container. ``` $newContainer = $container->without('cipher'); ``` Auto-injection -------------- [](#auto-injection) The container can automatically resolve and inject dependencies. ### Resolving dependencies [](#resolving-dependencies) Use `withAutoInject` to get a new container instance with resolved dependencies. ``` $containerWithServices = $container->withAutoInject($dependencies); ``` This will automatically create instances for services like `MyController` and `MyMiddleware` if they are not already in the container, resolving their own dependencies recursively. ### Extracting arguments [](#extracting-arguments) Use `extract` to get the constructor arguments for a class from the container. ``` $arguments = $containerWithServices->extract(MyController::class); $controller = new MyController(...$arguments); ``` Dependencies ------------ [](#dependencies) The `Dependencies` class is used to collect constructor dependencies from multiple classes. It helps to identify required services and validates against type compatibility. ``` use Chevere\Container\Dependencies; $dependencies = new Dependencies( MyController::class, MyMiddleware::class, ); ``` ### Reading classes [](#reading-classes) Use `classes` to get a list of component classes in the collection. ``` $classNames = $dependencies->classes(); ``` ### Adding more dependencies [](#adding-more-dependencies) Use `withClass` to add more class dependencies to the collection. Returns a new instance with the specified classes added. ``` $newDependencies = $dependencies->withClass( AnotherController::class, AnotherMiddleware::class, ); ``` ### Accessing parameters [](#accessing-parameters) Use `parameters` to get a ParametersInterface instance reflecting all dependencies as [Parameters](https://chevere.org/packages/parameter). ``` $parameters = $dependencies->parameters(); ``` ### Checking class dependencies [](#checking-class-dependencies) Use `has` to check if a specific class name defines dependencies. ``` $dependencies->has(MyController::class); // true $dependencies->has(UnknownClass::class); // false ``` ### Retrieving class parameters [](#retrieving-class-parameters) Use `get` to retrieve the parameters (dependencies) for a known class name. ``` $controllerParams = $dependencies->get(MyController::class); ``` ### Extracting constructor arguments [](#extracting-constructor-arguments) Use `extract` to get the typed constructor arguments for a class from a container. ``` $arguments = $dependencies->extract(MyController::class, $container); $controller = new MyController(...$arguments); ``` ### Identifying dependency requirer [](#identifying-dependency-requirer) Use `requirer` to identify which class declared a specific dependency. ``` $className = $dependencies->requirer('database'); ``` ### Validating container dependencies [](#validating-container-dependencies) Use `assert` to check if a container has all the required dependencies. It will throw a `LogicException` if any dependency is missing or if there's a type mismatch. ``` $dependencies->assert($container); ``` Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) Documentation is available at [chevere.org](https://chevere.org/packages/container).
