• Compatible with delegate containers.
• YAML, JSON or PHP based configuration.
• Lazy-loading dependencies.
• Remote proxies (undocumented).

Usage

The documentation is available here.

We have a getting started guide, followed by more comprehensive documentation (although not yet exhaustive, but that will come):

• Injection types
• References
• Activators
• Lifecycle of objects
• Remote objects (TODO: Write documentation)
• Container interoperability (TODO: Write documentation).
• Extending the configuration syntax

Note All the documentation examples are written using a YAML based configuration, however, you can also use JSON or PHP configuration files. (TODO: Document usage of PHP & JSON config file)

Credits

This library is originally a fork on oliviermadre/dic-it, available here.

Most of the core features have however been refactored or rewritten, enough that I felt it was time to re-brand this package, in order to both prevent confusion with the original package, and because I did not like the name.
