This package provides abstract object factory allowing to create objects by given definition with dependencies resolved by a [PSR-11](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-11/) container.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.0 - 8.5.

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

[](#installation)

The package could be installed with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
composer require yiisoft/factory
```

General usage
-------------

[](#general-usage)

The factory is useful if you need to create objects using [definition syntax](https://github.com/yiisoft/definitions)and/or want to configure defaults for objects created.

```
$container = new PSR11DependencyInjectionContainer();
$factoryConfig = [
    EngineInterface::class => [
        'class' => EngineMarkOne::class,
        '__construct()' => [
            'power' => 42,
        ],
    ]
];

$factory = new Factory($container, $factoryConfig);

$one = $factory->create(EngineInterface::class);
$two = $factory->create([
    'class' => EngineInterface::class,
    '__construct()' => [
        'power' => 146,
    ],
]);
```

In the code above we define factory config specifying that when we need `EngineInterface`, an instance of `EngineMarkOne`will be created with `power` constructor argument equals to 42. We also specify that all the dependencies requested by the object created should be resolved by `PSR11DependencyInjectionContainer`.

First call to `create()` uses default configuration of `EngineInterface` as is. Second call specifies custom configuration for `power` constructor argument. In this case, configuration specified is merged with default configuration overriding its keys when the key name is the same.

### Tuning for production

[](#tuning-for-production)

By default, the factory validates definitions right when they are set. In production environment, it makes sense to turn it off by passing `false` as a third constructor argument:

```
$factory = new Factory($container, $factoryConfig, false);
```

### Strict factory

[](#strict-factory)

`StrictFactory` differs in that it processes only configured definitions. When attempting to request an existing class that is not defined in the factory config, a `NotFoundException` will be thrown.

```
$container = new PSR11DependencyInjectionContainer();
$factoryConfig = [
    EngineInterface::class => [
        'class' => EngineMarkOne::class,
        '__construct()' => [
            'power' => 42,
        ],
    ]
];

$factory = new Factory($factoryConfig, $container);

$engine = $factory->create(EngineInterface::class);

// Throws `NotFoundException`
$factory->create(EngineMarkOne::class);
```
