A standalone PHP library heavily inspired by [Laravel's Facade](https://laravel.com/docs/master/facades) implementation, which can be used with any [PSR-11 compatible](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-11/) dependency injection container (DIC) such as (the ones used by) [PHP-DI](https://php-di.org/), [Symfony](https://symfony.com/), [Pimple](https://github.com/silexphp/Pimple), or [Slim](https://www.slimframework.com/).

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

[](#installation)

To use this package, require it with Composer.

```
composer install geekcell/container-facade
```

Motivation
----------

[](#motivation)

Although rare, there are situations when you want to obtain a container service without dependency injection. An example would be the [`AggregateRoot` pattern](https://martinfowler.com/bliki/DDD_Aggregate.html), which allows [dispatching domain events](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/architecture/microservices/microservice-ddd-cqrs-patterns/domain-events-design-implementation) directly from the aggregate, which is usually created directly and not via a DIC. In such a case, a corresponding (static) service facade can provide a comparable convenience as a singleton, but without the inherent [disadvantages of the singleton pattern](https://stackoverflow.com/a/138012).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Let's imagine you have a `Logger` service inside your DIC of choice that logs a message into a file.
