IoC containers are widely used to create object instances that have all dependencies resolved and injected. Dependency Injection containers are one form of IoC – but not the only form. zend-di is designed to be simple, fast and reusable. It provides the following features: - Constructor injection - Autowiring: - Recursively through all dependencies - With configured type preferences - with configured injections - With injections passed in the create() call - Code generators to create factories usable by other IoC containers like Zend\\ServiceManager It does **not** provide: - Setter, interface, property or any other injection method than constructor injection - Support for factories - Declaring shared/unshared instances - the injector always creates new instances - the default container always shares instances - Support for variadic arguments in \_\_construct If you need these features combine it with another IoC container such as [zend-servicemanager](https://docs.zendframework.com/zend-servicemanager/). - File issues at - Documentation is at ### Health Score 50 — FairBetter than 96% of packages Maintenance18 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity58 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community40 Growing community involvement Maturity73 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 70.4% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~40 days Recently: every ~330 days Total 66 Last Release 2351d ago Major Versions 2.6.1 → 3.0.02017-11-30 PHP version history (4 changes)2.0.3PHP >=5.3.3 2.3.0PHP >=5.3.23 2.6.0PHP ^5.5 || ^7.0 3.0.0PHP ^7.1 ### Community Maintainers ![](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/296074?v=4)[Zend Framework](/maintainers/zendframework)[@zendframework](https://github.com/zendframework) --- Top Contributors [![weierophinney](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/25943?v=4)](https://github.com/weierophinney "weierophinney (4589 commits)")[![Maks3w](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1301698?v=4)](https://github.com/Maks3w "Maks3w (577 commits)")[![Ocramius](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/154256?v=4)](https://github.com/Ocramius "Ocramius (388 commits)")[![tux-rampage](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/558326?v=4)](https://github.com/tux-rampage "tux-rampage (176 commits)")[![EvanDotPro](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5607?v=4)](https://github.com/EvanDotPro "EvanDotPro (174 commits)")[![akrabat](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/33135?v=4)](https://github.com/akrabat "akrabat (126 commits)")[![ezimuel](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/475967?v=4)](https://github.com/ezimuel "ezimuel (97 commits)")[![ralphschindler](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/76674?v=4)](https://github.com/ralphschindler "ralphschindler (37 commits)")[![marc-mabe](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/302689?v=4)](https://github.com/marc-mabe "marc-mabe (36 commits)")[![sgehrig](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/43394?v=4)](https://github.com/sgehrig "sgehrig (33 commits)")[![michalbundyra](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/7423207?v=4)](https://github.com/michalbundyra "michalbundyra (33 commits)")[![Freeaqingme](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/33034?v=4)](https://github.com/Freeaqingme "Freeaqingme (25 commits)")[![DASPRiD](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/233300?v=4)](https://github.com/DASPRiD "DASPRiD (23 commits)")[![noopable](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/75342?v=4)](https://github.com/noopable "noopable (21 commits)")[![samsonasik](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/459648?v=4)](https://github.com/samsonasik "samsonasik (20 commits)")[![mwillbanks](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/38209?v=4)](https://github.com/mwillbanks "mwillbanks (18 commits)")[![SocalNick](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/294123?v=4)](https://github.com/SocalNick "SocalNick (15 commits)")[![froschdesign](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/103362?v=4)](https://github.com/froschdesign "froschdesign (14 commits)")[![nickpeirson](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/266466?v=4)](https://github.com/nickpeirson "nickpeirson (14 commits)")[![Thinkscape](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/270528?v=4)](https://github.com/Thinkscape "Thinkscape (13 commits)") --- Tags PSR-11diZendFrameworkzf ### Code Quality TestsPHPUnit ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/zendframework-zend-di/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/zendframework-zend-di/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/zendframework-zend-di) ``` ### Alternatives [php-di/php-di The dependency injection container for humans 2.8k48.9M994](/packages/php-di-php-di)[laminas/laminas-servicemanager Factory-Driven Dependency Injection Container 15955.1M694](/packages/laminas-laminas-servicemanager)[laminas/laminas-di Automated dependency injection for PSR-11 containers 3618.1M38](/packages/laminas-laminas-di)[elie29/zend-phpdi-config PSR-11 PHP-DI autowire container configurator for Laminas, Mezzio, ZF2, ZF3 and Zend Expressive applications 20238.6k7](/packages/elie29-zend-phpdi-config)[slince/di A flexible dependency injection container 20260.4k6](/packages/slince-di)[devanych/di-container Simple implementation of a PSR-11 dependency injection container 124.2k3](/packages/devanych-di-container) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
