What?

It's a simple glue layer which injects services registered in a League\Container into a ZF1 controller.

Heavily based on @weierophinney's now-many-moons-ago blog post "A Simple Resource Injector for ZF Action Controllers".

How?

1. Install the Composer package:

   composer require adamlundrigan/ldc-zf1-di-league-container:1.*@stable
   

2. Register the helper in your ZF1 application bootstrap:

   protected function _initContainer()
   {
       $container = new League\Container\Container();
       // Fill your container    
       return $container;
   }
   
   protected function _initContainerResourceInjector()
   {
       $this->bootstrap('container');
       
       Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::addHelper(
           new \LdcZf1DiLeagueContainer\DependencyInjector()
       );
   }
   

3. In each controller, define a list of dependencies to inject:

   class FooController extends Zend_Controller_Action
   {
       public $dependencies = array(
           'db',
           'layout',
           'navigation',
       );
   }
   

   If you use a non-numeric key for any value of $dependencies the injector will use that as the controller property to inject into.

4. Profit! The injector will create a public property on the controller instance for each named service.
