README

A minimal and testable singleton container for managing and retrieving shared instances in PHP.

📦 Installation

composer require welbertymartins/php-singleton

🚀 Quick Start

use WelbertyMartins\Singleton\Singleton;

// Store a shared object in the global singleton container
Singleton::root()->remember(fn() => new MyService());

// Retrieve it later
$service = Singleton::root()->make(MyService::class);

Or use an isolated container:

$container = Singleton::local();

$container->remember(fn() => new MyService(), 'custom_service');

$service = $container->make('custom_service');

🧪 Running Tests

composer install
composer test

Includes PHPUnit tests, PSR-12 code style checking, and static analysis via Psalm.
