Very tiny PHP implementation of the [PSR-11 Container](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-11/).

"Envase" is Spanish for Container.

About
=====

[](#about)

Envase container is extremely easy to configure and use. It features a static registry as well as the ability to resolve classes and their dependencies using **autowiring**. Like a lot of container implementations when you call `get` it will only resolve the instance the *first* time and any future call will return the original resolved instance.

Installation
============

[](#installation)

```
composer require tyler/envase

```

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

Basic
-----

[](#basic)

```
// Static definitions
// simple key => val pairs
$defs = [
    'foo' => 'bar'
    'config' => [
        'dir' => '/path/to/something/'
    ],
    'Session' => new Session
];

// Create container with defs
$c = new Envase\Container($defs);

// Add additional defs
$c->set('new', 'value');

// retrieve item
$item = $c->get('foo');

// $item will equal 'bar'
```

Closures
--------

[](#closures)

So we can lazy load class instances at the time of first use you can add definitions as Closures that will be invoked the first time `get` is called.

```
$c->set('foo', fn(Envase\Container $c) => new Bar);

// or the short hand helper
$c->set('foo', Envase\get(Bar::class))

$bar = $c->get('foo'); //  '/path/to/somewhere'
]);

$foo = $c->get(Foo::class);
```

In this case `$foo` will be an instance of class `Foo` and will have the properties `$bar = instance of Bar` and `$dirToSomething = '/path/to/somewhere'`

Injectable Properties
---------------------

[](#injectable-properties)

If a property on a class being resolved by the container has the `#[Inject]` attribute, the container will use that to set that properties value.

> If you set this property form the constructor, Injected properties will override the constructor set

```
class Foo
{
    #[Inject]
    private Bar $bar; // will auto inject instance of Bar

    #[Inject]
    private string $foo // Will auto inject key foo, value will be 'bar'

    #[Inject("fizz")]
    private string $something // Will auto inject key fizz, value will be 'buzz'
}

class Bar
{
}

$c = new Envase\Container([
    'foo' => 'bar',
    'fizz' => 'buzz'
]);

$foo = $c->get(Foo::class); // will be instance of Foo
```

If a key or object can't be resovled the container will throw a `NotFoundException`

Making objects
--------------

[](#making-objects)

IF you need to make a new instance of a class you can call the containers `make` method. Note, this will only make a new instance of that class, all dependencies will be resolved from the container;

```
$foo = $c->make(Foo::class);
```
