Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

This is about the simple container to help developers to understand how the Reflection works.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Firstly, you have to specify a class that you want to inject.

For example, we assume that you want to inject following `Profile` class:

```
class Profile
{
    protected $userName;

    public function __construct($userName = 'lee')
    {
        $this->userName = $userName;
    }

    public function getUserName()
    {
        return $this->userName;
    }
}
```

Then we use the `Container` class to inject this `Profile` class.

```
use Lee\Container\Container;

$container = new Container();
$container->set(Profile::class);
$profile = $container->get(Profile::class);

echo $profile->getUserName(); // lee
```

If you want to inject class that its constructor arguments is without the default value, we should specify them by ourselves.

The sample codes are as follows:

```
class Profile
{
    protected $userName;

    public function __construct($userName)
    {
        $this->userName = $userName;
    }

    public function getUserName()
    {
        return $this->userName;
    }
}
```

Then we use `Container` class to inject this class.

```
use Lee\Container\Container;

$container = new Container();
$container->set(Profile::class);
$profile = $container->get(Profile::class, ['userName' => 'Peter']);

echo $profile->getUserName(); // Peter
```

This simple-container is about implementing this [post](https://medium.com/tech-tajawal/dependency-injection-di-container-in-php-a7e5d309ccc6).

However, this post we refer is incorrect on some approaches.

We decide to implement this PHP package to complete the correct container example.
