MethodFactory

A factory that invokes a public method on a class or a container-provided object.

This factory MUST be used when service creation requires calling a non-constructor method, and supports both static and instance methods.

If the method is not public, a RuntimeException SHALL be thrown.

Arguments MAY be resolved from the container if passed as service identifiers.

Methods

__construct

Constructs the MethodFactory.

public __construct(string $class, string $method, mixed $arguments): mixed

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
$class	string	the class name or container service ID on which the method is called
$method	string	the name of the method to invoke
$arguments	mixed	Optional arguments to pass to the method.

---

__invoke

Resolves the class and invokes the configured method with arguments.

public __invoke(\Psr\Container\ContainerInterface $container): mixed

Arguments MAY be resolved from the container if passed as string identifiers and found. Public static class methods are invoked without resolving an instance. Instance targets are retrieved by class name or service ID and reflected using the resolved object. Direct construction is permitted only when has() reports a class-name entry as absent. Failures resolving registered targets propagate, including missing nested dependencies.

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
$container	\Psr\Container\ContainerInterface	The container used to resolve the class and arguments

Return Value:

The result of invoking the method

Throws:

If the method does not exist

• ReflectionException If the method is not public
• RuntimeException if a non-class service ID is absent
• NotFoundExceptionInterface
