Design goals
------------

[](#design-goals)

- Do one thing and do it well
- ~100 LOC
- **No auto-wiring** by design
- Services are declared as closures
- Array-syntax to access and set services (`$container['database']`)
- Fully PSR-11 compliant
- Support for protected services (return closures verbatim)
- Support for factory services (return a new instance instead of returning the same instance)
- 100% test coverage
- Services can over overwritten later, marked factory/protected
- Function at full speed without a compilation step

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require phpwatch/simple-container
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

*Simple Container* supports array-syntax for setting and fetching of services and values. You can mark certain services as factory or protected later too.

### Declare services and values
