[](#viocon-)

A simple and flexible Dependency Injection or Service container for PHP.

It can be extremely helpful to decouple your dependencies. You can also mock dependencies at runtime.

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

[](#installation)

Viocon uses [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/) to make things easy.

Learn to use composer and add this to require (in your composer.json):

```
"usmanhalalit/viocon": "1.0.*@dev"

```

Library on [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/usmanhalalit/viocon).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$container = new \Viocon\Container();
```

**You can optionally create a class alias too**

```
new \Viocon\Container('Container');
```

Viocon will create a class alias for you with the given name 'Container'. Now you can use this class' methods statically, like

```
\Container::set(...);
\Container::build(...);
```

And so ...

---

### Bind a closure

[](#bind-a-closure)

```
$container->set('myClosure', function ($test1, $test2)
{
    $stdClass = new \stdClass();
    $stdClass->testVar1 = $test1;
    $stdClass->testVar2 = $test2;
    $stdClass->testMethod = function ($test3) {
        return $test3;
    };

    return $stdClass;
});

$object = $container->build('myClosure', array('Test Var 1', 'Test Var 2'))

echo $object->testVar1;
```

### Build Any Class and Optionally Pass Parameters

[](#build-any-class-and-optionally-pass-parameters)

```
$container->build('\PDO', array('myConnectionInfo'));
```

### Singleton

[](#singleton)

```
$container->set('mySingleton', '\\stdClass');
$stdClass = $container->build('mySingleton');
```

### Replacing Objects at Runtime

[](#replacing-objects-at-runtime)

It can be useful while testing with mocked object

```
$mockedClass = new \stdClass();
$mockedClass->testVar = 'mocked';

static::$container->setInstance('\\stdClass', $mockedClass);

$stdClass = static::$container->build('\\stdClass');
$this->assertEquals('mocked', $stdClass->testVar);
```
