Details
-------

[](#details)

Simple, granular, standards-compliant DI container implementations.

### Features

[](#features)

- Is an implementation of the [PSR-11](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-11-container.md) standard.
- Uses some other [standards](https://packagist.org/packages/dhii/data-container-interface) published separately.
- Includes support for the [delegate lookup](https://github.com/container-interop/container-interop/blob/master/docs/Delegate-lookup-meta.md) feature, a.k.a. composite containers, with intuitive override order.
- Easily extensible and adaptable.

### Classes

[](#classes)

- [`CachingContainer`](src/CachingContainer.php) - A simple container that resolves callable service definitions and caches the result, guaranteeing the same instance every time. [Cache sold separately](https://github.com/Dhii/memoize-memory).
- [`ContainerAwareCachingContainer`](src/ContainerAwareCachingContainer.php) - A container that is aware of another container, perhaps a parent one. Callable definitions will receive the top-most parent container of the chain when resolving. Use it with [`CompositeContainer`](https://github.com/Dhii/composite-container/blob/develop/src/CompositeContainer.php) to implement the
- [`AbstractBaseContainer`](src/AbstractBaseContainer.php) - Common functionality for DI containers that store services as internal data.
- [`AbstractBaseCachingContainer`](src/AbstractBaseCachingContainer.php) - Common functionality for DI containers that cache resolved services.
