========

[](#rivetioc)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/8eec085aed39fbe47fb9710fcd6204ca475dcfab5a0fd8d59b16244ac04e025e/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f6372697368656c6c636f2f72697665742d696f632e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/crishellco/rivet-ioc)

RivetIoc is an auto-wiring (zero configuration) IoC container for PHP to easily manage class dependencies. It features both auto-wiring of dependencies using reflection as well as manual registration for depenency injection.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Auto-wiring (zero configuration) dependency injection
    - Recursive dependency injection
- Manual registration for more complex dependency management
- Locator trait which exposes commonly used RivetIoc\\Ioc methods

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

### Install

[](#install)

```
$ composer require crishellco/rivet-ioc

```

### System Requirements

[](#system-requirements)

**PHP >= 5.4.0**

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

### Auto-wiring

[](#auto-wiring)

**Define your classes using type hints**

```
namespace App;
class DbDriver
{
    ...
}
```

```
namespace App;
class Db
{
    protected $driver;

    public function __construct(DbDriver $driver)
    {
        $this->driver = $driver;
    }
}
```

```
namespace App\Services;
class UserService
{
    protected $db;

    public function __construct(Db $db)
    {
        $this->db = $db;
    }
}
```

**Use RivetIoc to create a new class instance**

RivetIoc will use constructor type hints to automatically create and inject dependencies

```
$userService = \RivetIoc\Ioc::instance()->make('App\Services\UserService');

// Or use the helper function...
$userService = rivet_make('App\Services\UserService');
```

### Manual dependency registration

[](#manual-dependency-registration)

**Register your dependencies in your application bootstrap**

```
\RivetIoc\Ioc::instance()->register('App\Db', function() {
    $mysqli = new mysqli('localhost', 'username', 'password', 'mydb');
    $db = new App\Db($mysqli);

    return $db;
});
```

**Use RivetIoc to create a new class instance**

RivetIoc will use the registered closure to create and inject dependencies

```
$db = \RivetIoc\Ioc::instance()->make('App\Db');

// Or use the helper function...
$db = rivet_make('App\Db');
```

**Forget a manually registered dependency**

```
register_shutdown_function(function() {
    \RivetIoc\Ioc::instance()->forget('App\Db');
});
```

### Locator trait

[](#locator-trait)

Use the RivetIoc\\Traits\\Locator trait in a class give access to commonly used RivetIoc\\Ioc methods:

- make
- register
- forget

```
namespace App\Services;
class UserService
{
    use \RivetIoc\Traits\Locator;

    protected $dao;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->dao = $this->make('App\Doa\UserDao');

        // Or use the helper function...
        $this->dao = rivet_make('App\Doa\UserDao');
    }
}
```
