Pimple IoC
==========

[](#pimple-ioc)

Class resolver for the [Pimple](http://pimple.sensiolabs.org/) container.

This project is heavily inspired by how [Laravel](http://laravel.com/) resolve it's classes out of their IoC container. In fact most of the code is taken directly from their `Container` class.

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

[](#installation)

Add the IoC container to your `composer.json` using the command line.

```
composer require jonsa/pimple-ioc

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The class resolver is registered in Pimple as a `ServiceProvider`

```
use Jonsa\PimpleResolver\ServiceProvider;
use Pimple\Container;

$container = new Container();
$container->register(new ServiceProvider());
```

This will register the `make` key on the Container which resolves the requested class.

```
$instance = $container['make']('Acme\MyClass');
```

and the `bind` key to bind a definition to a concrete implementation

```
$container['bind']('Acme\MyInterface', 'Acme\MyClass');
```

### Resolved recursively

[](#resolved-recursively)

Class dependencies are resolved recursively.

```
interface FooContract {}

class Foo implements FooContract {};

class Bar {
    public function __construct(FooContract $foo) {}
}

class Baz {
    public function __construct(Bar $bar) {}
}

$container['bind']('FooContract', 'FooClass');
$baz = $container['make']('Baz');
```

### Define constructor parameters

[](#define-constructor-parameters)

To override a class parameter use the parameter array on the resolver method.

```
class Log {
    public function __construct(Psr\Log\LoggerInterface $logger, $level = Psr\Log\LogLevel::WARNING)
    {
        ...
    }
}

$container['make']('Log', array(
    'level' => Psr\Log\LogLevel::DEBUG
));
```

### Inject into the resolver workflow

[](#inject-into-the-resolver-workflow)

To customize a resolved class before it is returned from the resolver, simply listen to the `CLASS_RESOLVED` event.

```
use Jonsa\PimpleResolver\ServiceProvider;
use Jonsa\PimpleResolver\Events;
use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventDispatcher;

$dispatcher = new EventDispatcher;
$container[ServiceProvider::EVENT_DISPATCHER] = function () use ($dispatcher) {
    return $dispatcher;
});

$dispatcher->addListener(Events::CLASS_RESOLVED, function (ClassResolvedEvent $event) {
    $object = $event->getResolvedObject();
    ...
});
```

Alternatively the `EVENT_DISPATCHER` key can be populated with a string which in turn returns an event dispatcher from the container

```
$container[ServiceProvider::EVENT_DISPATCHER] = 'my dispatcher key';
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

The ServiceProvider has three configuration parameters.

```
class ServiceProvider implements ServiceProviderInterface {
    public function __construct($bindContainerInstance = true, $makeMethod = 'make', $bindMethod = 'bind')
    {
        ...
    }
}
```

`$bindContainerInstance` tells the ServiceProvider whether to bind the container instance to the `'Pimple\Container'` key. If the container is extended, that class name will also be bound to the container instance.

`$makeMethod` is used to define which key on the container to be used as the make method.

`$bindMethod` is used to define which key on the container to be used as the bind method.
