SimpleContainer is a basic service container, it can store key => value objects and lazily load them using Closures. It also includes a newInstance() method which allows you to inject dependencies through constructors and setters providing for very basic dependency injection.

Example usages
--------------

[](#example-usages)

### Basic loading of services and retrieving of them

[](#basic-loading-of-services-and-retrieving-of-them)

```
// Create the SimpleContainer
$container = new SimpleContainer();
// Set a service
$container->set('foo', function(){
	return new Foo();
});
// Get the service
$foo = $container->get('foo');
// Create a new class with services populaed
$bar = $container->newInstance('bar');
$bar->getFoo();

```
