Why
===

[](#why)

- don't like "serviceLocator->get('foo')" (inexplicit API) calls
- like the configurable approach of some service locators out there
- inspired by a [php usergroup](http://artodeto.bazzline.net/archives/525-Social-Human-Architecture-for-Beginners-and-the-Flip-Side-of-Dependency-Injection-PHPUGHH.html) presentation called "[the flipside of dependency injection](http://thephp.cc/dates/2014/phpughh/the-flip-side-of-dependency-injection)" i'Ve seen "i'm not alone"
- generated code is easy debug- and understandable (no magic inside)

How
===

[](#how)

- a task specific configuration assembler creates a unified configuration object
- unified configuration object is injected into the locator generator
- the locator generator creates needed files
- a file exists strategy can take care how to deal with existing files
