This library provides a simple and lightweight Dependency Injection Container.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Interfaces:** Extended container interfaces compatible with *PSR-11*

    - `ModifiableContainerInterface` exposes methods to write and remove container entries.
    - `DefinableContainerInterface` exposes methods to define container entries.
    - `FactoryContainerInterface` exposes a method to create new object instances from a factory entry.
    - `LockableContainerInterface` exposes methods to lock and unlock container entries.
- **Classes:** Advanced and feature-complete container implementations based on the interfaces

    - `Container` implements common features like defining, writing, instantiating and removing container entries.
    - `LockableContainer` extends the above container to enable locking and unlocking of container entries.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To make use of the API, include the vendor autoloader and use the classes:

```
namespace Acme\MyApplication;

use FlameCore\Container\Container;

$container = new Container();
```

You can use `get()` and `has()` on the container as usual. You can also `set()` and `remove()` entries.

```
$container->set('foo', new Configuration(...));
if ($container->has('foo')) {
    $value = $container->get('foo'); // Returns Acme\MyApplication\Configuration object
    $container->remove('foo');
}
```

You can also use object factories:

```
$container->set('bar', function () {
    return new Configuration(...);
});
$value2 = $container->get('bar'); // Returns Acme\MyApplication\Configuration object
```

You can also get a fallback value if an entry is not set:

```
$value3 = $container->getOr('foobar', function () {
    return new Fallback(...);
}); // Returns Acme\MyApplication\Fallback object
```

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

[](#installation)

[Install Composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-linux-unix-macos) if you don't already have it present on your system.

To install the library, run the following command and you will get the latest version:

```
$ php composer.phar require flamecore/container

```

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- You must have at least PHP version 7.2 installed on your system.
