An implement for singleton and some features.

Requirement
-----------

[](#requirement)

- PHP >= 5.6

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

[](#installation)

using composer:

```
composer require johnroyer/php-easy-container
```

Simple Usage
------------

[](#simple-usage)

Put whatever you want into container:

```
use \Zeroplex\Container\Container;

$c = new Container;

// set value as singleton
$c['pi'] = 3.14159;
$c['db'] = new PDO(
    'mysql:dbname=mydb;host=localhost',
    'user',
    'password'
);
```

Get things out from container:

```
$c['pi'];  // 3.14159
$c['db'];  // object(PDO)
```

Singleton
---------

[](#singleton)

If you use `ArrayAccess` interfaces to access the data from container, container will treat them as sinleton, as example ablove.

You can also use method `singleton()` to put data into container:

```
$c->singleton('db') = new PDO(
    'mysql:dbname=mydb;host=localhost',
    'user',
    'password'
);

$c->get('db');  // object(PDO)
```

You can also put a global variable into container:

```
$c->singleton('config') = new Config(
    APP_ROOT . '/config'
);

$c['config']['app.name'];
```

### Late initialize

[](#late-initialize)

Sometimes, you are not sure if an DB connection should initialize while program start up. Maybe connect to DB when it is really needed is a better idea.

Use a `Closure` to let container known you want to initialize it later:

```
$c['db'] = function () {
    return new PDO(
        'mysql:dbname=test;host=localhost',
        'user',
        'password'
    );
};

$c->get('db');  // new PDO if and only if someone get it
                // object(PDO)
```

Provide
-------

[](#provide)

Container can contains things with states, can also contains things stateless. `provide()` method stores bussiness logic or workflow which is stateless.

```
$c->provide('pi', 3.14159265359);
$c['pi'];  // 3.14159265359

$c->provide('nowDate', function() {
    // always return special format of date
    return (new DateTime())
        ->format('Y-m-d');
});
$c->['nowDate'];  // "2017-12-01"
```
