How to use
==========

[](#how-to-use)

simple use
----------

[](#simple-use)

You can simple register your service to this ServiceLocator Fore more example see [this file](https://github.com/SlidesWorker/ServiceLocator/blob/master/example/SimpleWork.php)

```
namespace Example;

use SlidesWorker\ServiceLocator\ServiceLocator;

class Service1
{
}
class Service2
{
}

// setup ServiceLocator
$serviceLocator = new ServiceLocator();

$serviceLocator->set('service1', new Service1());
$serviceLocator->set('service2', new Service2());

$service1 = $serviceLocator->get('service1');
$service2 = $serviceLocator->get('service2');
```

with factory
------------

[](#with-factory)

The ServiceLocator can work with a some few factories. Classes that implements `SlidesWorker\ServiceLocator\FactoryInterface` and function or closure. Fore more example see [this file](https://github.com/SlidesWorker/ServiceLocator/blob/master/example/WorkWithFactory.php)

```
namespace Example;

use SlidesWorker\ServiceLocator\ServiceLocator;
use SlidesWorker\ServiceLocator\ServiceLocatorInterface;

class Service {}

// setup ServiceLocator
$serviceLocator = new ServiceLocator();

// factory as closure
$serviceLocator->setFactory('service', function (ServiceLocatorInterface $locator) {
    return Service();
});

// get a service
$service = $serviceLocator->get('service');
```

Initialzer and ServiceLocator
-----------------------------

[](#initialzer-and-servicelocator)

If you have the need that one objects must hold some other object Initializer is the right feature. In the case that ServiceLocator create the Object for you it run a Stack of few Initializer. You can add your own Initializer to this system, too.

A working example you find [here](https://github.com/SlidesWorker/ServiceLocator/blob/master/example/WorkWithInitializer.php)

give service the ability to handle the ServiceLocator
-----------------------------------------------------

[](#give-service-the-ability-to-handle-the-servicelocator)

ServiceLocator has the ability to add him self to a object. For this feature the object must be a instance of `SlidesWorker\ServiceLocator\ServiceLocatorAwareTrait` or `SlidesWorker\ServiceLocator\ServiceLocatorAwareInterface`

For more example see [this file](https://github.com/SlidesWorker/ServiceLocator/blob/master/example/ServiceCanHoldServiceLocator.php)

```
namespace Example;

use SlidesWorker\ServiceLocator\ServiceLocator;
use SlidesWorker\ServiceLocator\ServiceLocatorInterface;
use SlidesWorker\ServiceLocator\ServiceLocatorAwareInterface;
use SlidesWorker\ServiceLocator\ServiceLocatorAwareTrait;

// only php 5.4 and higher
class ServiceCanHoldServiceLocator1
{
    use ServiceLocatorAwareTrait;
}

// setup ServiceLocator
$serviceLocator = new ServiceLocator();

// factory as closure
$serviceLocator->setFactory('service', function (ServiceLocatorInterface $locator) {
    return new ServiceCanHoldServiceLocator1();
});

$serviceLocator->get('service');
```
