PHP Container

PHP Container is currently an experimental service container used by aPHProach for package development. Feel free to use it in your own packages.

The current documentation sucks. Like I said it is still experimental ;)

Attributes

The service container is configured via attributes. The main goal is making objects more understandable for other developers.

Inject

With the inject attribute you can flag a property for dependency injection.

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

use aphproach\container\Attributes\AutoWire;

class ProductInserter
{
    #[inject()]
    private Doctrine $doctrine;

    #[inject()]
    private ProductRepository $productRepository;

    #[inject()]
    private productFactory $productFactory;
}

AutoWire (default: false)

When defining the AutoWire attribute all properties with an object as type

I do not recommend to use auto wiring. this method is currently useless, and promotes bad practices. Use the Inject attribute instead.

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

use aphproach\container\Attributes\AutoWire;

#[AutoWire(true)]
class ProductInserter
{
    private Doctrine $doctrine;

    private ProductRepository $productRepository;

    private productFactory $productFactory;

    public function __construct()
    {
        // AutoWire injects dependencies via reflection.
    }
}
