Dependencies injection plugin for CakePHP 3. This plugin provides a constructor injection and a controller action injection.

Installation
============

[](#installation)

#### Composer

[](#composer)

```
composer require eryw/pastry-bag=@stable
```

#### Configuration

[](#configuration)

Add the following line to your `config/bootstrap.php`:

```
Plugin::load('PastryBag', ['bootstrap' => true]);
```

##### For CakePHP 3.2 with dispatch filter

[](#for-cakephp-32-with-dispatch-filter)

Replace your controller factory filter in `config/bootstrap.php`:

```
DispatcherFactory::add('ControllerFactory');
```

With the following:

```
DispatcherFactory::add('PastryBag\Routing\Filter\ControllerFactoryFilter');
```

##### For CakePHP 3.3 with middleware

[](#for-cakephp-33-with-middleware)

Please override method `getDispatcher()` on your `Application` class

```
class Application extends BaseApplication
{
    // ... //

    protected function getDispatcher()
    {
        return new ActionDispatcher(new ControllerFactory(), null, DispatcherFactory::filters());
    }
}
```

To make the dependency injection works, all controller must extends `PastryBag\Controller\Controller`.

So, change your `AppController` parent class from `Cake\Controller\Controller` into `PastryBag\Controller\Controller`:

```
class AppController extends \PastryBag\Controller\Controller
{
    // ... //
}
```

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

#### Constructor Injection

[](#constructor-injection)

```
class UsersController extends AppController
{
    protected $payment;

    public function __construct(PaymentService $payment)
    {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->payment = $payment;
    }

    public function payBill()
    {
        // `$this->payment` will auto injected with instance of PaymentService
        $this->payment->anyMethodOfPaymentService();
    }
}
```

#### The controller method injection

[](#the-controller-method-injection)

```
class RemoteGaleryController extends AppController
{
    public function index($id, MyHttpClient $client)
    {
        // `$client` will auto injected with instance of MyHttpClient
        $client->request('GET', 'http://remotesite.com');
    }
}
```

##### Note:

[](#note)

Only the type hinted parameters will auto injected.

Config
======

[](#config)

This plugin uses [Aura.Di](https://github.com/auraphp/Aura.Di) as container. Configuration should be put inside a class that implements `Aura\Di\ContainerConfigInterface` and the list of configuration (class name or instance) must be put at `config/container_configs.php`

Example content of `config/container_configs.php`:

```
use Aura\Di\Container;
use Aura\Di\ContainerConfig;
use Cake\ORM\TableRegistry;

// OPTIONAL. You can move this class to other file if you want
class DiConfig extends ContainerConfig
{
    public function define(Container $di)
    {
        $di->set(\App\Model\Table\UsersTable::class, $di->lazy(function () {
            return TableRegistry::get('Users');
        }));
        $di->types[\App\Model\Table\UsersTable::class] = $di->lazyGet(\App\Model\Table\UsersTable::class);
    }
}

// REQUIRED. This file must return list of configs as array
return [
    'My\Awesome\App\ClassImplementsAuraDiContainerConfigInterface',
    new DiConfig,
];
```

For advance container configuration and usage, please check [Aura.Di](https://github.com/auraphp/Aura.Di) official documentation

If you want to access the instance of container directly, you can use static method `PastryBag::getContainer()`:

```
// `$di` is instance of Aura\Di\Container
$di = PastryBag::getContainer();
```

This plugin is inspired by [PipingBag](https://github.com/lorenzo/piping-bag) plugin but does not require annotations.
