Silex with Mouf Dependency Injection compatibility
==================================================

[](#silex-with-mouf-dependency-injection-compatibility)

This project is a very simple extension to the [Silex microframework](http://silex.sensiolabs.org/). It adds [Mouf dependency injection](http://mouf-php.com) capability to Silex.

Why?
----

[](#why)

Silex is a microframework. It is designed on top of Pimple, a very simple dependency injection container (DIC) written in about 80 lines of code. Pimple is a nice DIC, but it can become quite verbose as your project grows. And natively, Silex has no way to use another DIC (the `Application` class of Silex extends the `Pimple` class).

This project lets you use [Mouf](http://mouf-php.com), a graphical dependency injection framework directly in your Silex project. Instead of injecting your dependencies by filling the `$app` variable, you can use Mouf user interface to declare your instances.

How?
----

[](#how)

The extended `Application` class has only one additonnal method: `registerMoufManager()`. This is used to register the Mouf DIC instance into Silex.

When this is done, you can access any instance declared in Mouf using the `$app` object, just like you would in any Silex project.

Here is a sample about injecting a controller in Pimple.

- Install this package using Composer.
- This package depends on Mouf. Once Mouf is downloaded, you need to [install Mouf](http://mouf-php.com/packages/mouf/mouf/doc/installing_mouf.md).
- Then, declare a simple test controller: ```
