`slick/di` is an easy dependency injection container for PHP 8.0+.

It aims to be very lightweight and tries to remove a lot of the *guessing* and *magic*stuff that dependency containers use those days.

It also allows you to nest containers witch can become very useful if you have several packages that you reuse in your applications, allowing you to define containers with default dependencies in those packages for later override and usage them in your application.

This package is compliant with PSR-2 code standards and PSR-4 autoload standards. It also applies the [semantic version 2.0.0](http://semver.org) specification.
