### Lightweight IOC Container for PHP.

[](#lightweight-ioc-container-for-php)

Encase is a library for using dependency injection within PHP applications. It provides a lightweight IOC Container that manages dependencies between your classes. It was written to assist with wiring of domain objects outside Frameworks to build faster test suites.

A Ruby implementation is [here](https://github.com/dsawardekar/encase).

Features
========

[](#features)

- Stores objects, factories, and singletons
- Declarative syntax for specifying dependencies
- Simple API for configuring the container
- Support for nested containers
- Support for lazy initialization
- Initializers

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Consider a `Worker` class that has a dependency on a `Logger`. We would like this dependency to be available to the worker when it is created.

First we create a container object and declare the dependencies.

```
