DiMaria is a Dependency Injection Container for PHP 7+ with no dependencies. It's written to be extremely fast and lightweight.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Fetch DiMaria with composer via packagist. Add it with

```
composer require dangerousdan/dimaria

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

DiMaria should work out of the box. Just call `get()` with the class name you wish to create.

```
$di = new DD\DiMaria;
$object = $di->get('ClassName');

```

DiMaria implements the [PSR7 Container interface](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-11-container.md).

DiMaria can:

- Automatically fetch type-hinted dependencies in classes
- Set and override parameters and create aliases
- Set preferences for interfaces or classes
- Configure classes to return shared or new instances
- Support variadic parameters
- Configure Setter injection

For more info, see [the docs](http://dangerousdan.github.io/DiMaria/)
