Slim-Symfony-Dependency-Injection-Bridge
========================================

[](#slim-symfony-dependency-injection-bridge)

Just a simple bridge to use the Symfony Dependency Injection Container to replace the Container in Slim Framework 3

This will replace the `pimple` container which comes default with Slim Framework 3.

The default services (like `router`, `request`, `response`) which Slim Framework uses, are preloaded in the `ContainerBuilder`. This way Slim will work as it should.

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

[](#installation)

Use composer to install

`composer require flexsounds/slim-symfony-di-container`

Default usage
=============

[](#default-usage)

To use the Symfony DI Container just add the ContainerBuilder to `Slim\App`

```
$container = new \Flexsounds\Component\SymfonyContainerSlimBridge\ContainerBuilder();

$app = new \Slim\App($container);

// define your routes here. The container is available through $this in the route closure

$app->run();
```

Default parameters
==================

[](#default-parameters)

The default Slim Framework Settings are 1 on 1 mapped with parameters. To overwrite the settings you can either create a new `ParameterBag` with your settings and pass it as the first argument to the `ContainerBuilder`. Or if you use one of the file loaders, change them with the parameters config key.

Just change the parameters to your own choice to your config file like this.

```
parameters:
   httpVersion: "1.1"
   responseChunkSize: 4096
   outputBuffering: "append"
   determineRouteBeforeAppMiddleware: false
   displayErrorDetails: false

```

Other Examples
==============

[](#other-examples)

Example loading your dependencies through yaml configuration (The Symfony way)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[](#example-loading-your-dependencies-through-yaml-configuration-the-symfony-way)

```
$container = new \Flexsounds\Component\SymfonyContainerSlimBridge\ContainerBuilder();
$loader = new \Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Loader\YamlFileLoader($container, new \Symfony\Component\Config\FileLocator(__DIR__));
$loader->load('config.yml');

$app = new \Slim\App($container);

$app->run();
```

Now you can create a `config.yml` file to load your services, parameters, etc. [The use of importing other config files is also available.](http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/configuration/configuration_organization.html#different-directories-per-environment)

```
services:
  my.custom.service:
    class: Location\To\The\Class
```

Now the service `my.custom.service` is available in the container. Use `$this->get('my.custom.service')` to load the service.

```
$app->get('/', function($request, $response){
  $customService = $this->get('my.custom.service'); // $customService is now an instance of Location\To\The\Class()
});
```

Read more
=========

[](#read-more)

Read the [symfony service container documentation](http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/service_container.html) to find out what other options are available in the service container.

Read the [symfony dependency injection documentation](http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/dependency_injection/introduction.html) to find out how the ContainerBuilder is used. Like setting default parameters.

Interesting to know
===================

[](#interesting-to-know)

If you use PhpStorm as IDE and add the Symfony Plugin, typehinting for services should be available.
