README

RivetIoc is an auto-wiring (zero configuration) IoC container for PHP to easily manage class dependencies. It features both auto-wiring of dependencies using reflection as well as manual registration for depenency injection.

Features

• Auto-wiring (zero configuration) dependency injection
  • Recursive dependency injection
• Manual registration for more complex dependency management
• Locator trait which exposes commonly used RivetIoc\Ioc methods

Getting Started

Install

$ composer require crishellco/rivet-ioc

System Requirements

PHP >= 5.4.0

Auto-wiring

Define your classes using type hints

namespace App;
class DbDriver
{
    ...
}

namespace App;
class Db
{
    protected $driver;

    public function __construct(DbDriver $driver)
    {
        $this->driver = $driver;
    }
}

namespace App\Services;
class UserService
{
    protected $db;

    public function __construct(Db $db)
    {
        $this->db = $db;
    }
}

Use RivetIoc to create a new class instance

RivetIoc will use constructor type hints to automatically create and inject dependencies

$userService = \RivetIoc\Ioc::instance()->make('App\Services\UserService');

// Or use the helper function...
$userService = rivet_make('App\Services\UserService');

Manual dependency registration

Register your dependencies in your application bootstrap

\RivetIoc\Ioc::instance()->register('App\Db', function() {
    $mysqli = new mysqli('localhost', 'username', 'password', 'mydb');
    $db = new App\Db($mysqli);

    return $db;
});

Use RivetIoc to create a new class instance

RivetIoc will use the registered closure to create and inject dependencies

$db = \RivetIoc\Ioc::instance()->make('App\Db');

// Or use the helper function...
$db = rivet_make('App\Db');

Forget a manually registered dependency

register_shutdown_function(function() {
    \RivetIoc\Ioc::instance()->forget('App\Db');
});

Locator trait

Use the RivetIoc\Traits\Locator trait in a class give access to commonly used RivetIoc\Ioc methods:

• make
• register
• forget

namespace App\Services;
class UserService
{
    use \RivetIoc\Traits\Locator;

    protected $dao;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->dao = $this->make('App\Doa\UserDao');

        // Or use the helper function...
        $this->dao = rivet_make('App\Doa\UserDao');
    }
}
