PSR-11: Container
=================

[](#psr-11-container)

Install with Composer:

```
composer require drhino/container:^3.0.0
```

Example use:
------------

[](#example-use)

```
class Dependency
{
    public string $var = '';
}

class Init
{
    public function __construct(Dependency $dependency, String $value)
    {
        $dependency->var = $value;
    }
}
```

```
$container = new drhino\Container\Container;

$container
    ->add(Init::class, [
        // The arguments of the constructor
        'dependency' => $container->ref(Dependency::class),
        'value'      => 'Hello world',
    ])
    ->add(Dependency::class)
;
```

> Use $container->ref() to reference an identifier before it has been added into the container.

```
// Executes __construct()
$init = $container->get(Init::class);

// Prints 'Hello world'
echo $container->get(Dependency::class)->var;
```

Signature:
----------

[](#signature)

The following are exactly the same:

```
$container->add(Dependency::class);
```

```
$container->add($id = Dependency::class, $resource = Dependency::class, $arguments = []);
```

```
$container->add($id = Dependency::class, $arguments = []);
```
