StellarWP Container Contract
============================

[](#stellarwp-container-contract)

Service Container interface for use in StellarWP libraries.

Note that this is not a Container implementation of its own. It is merely abstractions that describe the components of a Dependency Injection Container.

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

[](#installation)

It's recommended that you install this contract as a project dependency via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```
composer require stellarwp/container-contract
```

*Note: If you typically use a tool like [Strauss](https://github.com/BrianHenryIE/strauss), you should **not** customize the namespace of this library in order to have proper compatibility with StellarWP libraries.*

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Simply `use` the `ContainerInterface` and implement it or use it as a type hint.

```
use StellarWP\ContainerContract\ContainerInterface;

class Container implements ContainerInterface {
	public function bind( string $id, $implementation ) {}
	public function get( string $id ) {}
	public function has( string $id ) {}
	public function singleton( string $id, $implementation ) {}
}
```
