FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package container
Aicrion Container
A modern, high-performance, PSR-11 compatible Dependency Injection Container for PHP 8.5+, built for real-world dependency graphs — including circular dependencies — with a clean, pipeline-based resolution engine.
Why another container?
Existing containers (Symfony DI, PHP-DI, Laravel Container) are excellent, but they share a common limitation: constructor-only injection cannot cleanly solve circular dependency graphs without resorting to opaque proxy magic. Aicrion Container solves this natively with a lifecycle-based injection model:
instantiate()— the object is created (constructor injection happens here).injectDependencies()— post-construction injection, safe for circular graphs.onReady()— a lifecycle hook fired once, after all injection is complete.
Features
- PSR-11
ContainerInterfacecompliant - Constructor injection with automatic reflection-based resolution
- Post-construction injection for circular dependency graphs
- Service lifecycle:
instantiate → injectDependencies → onReady - Singletons, factories, transients, scoped services
- Aliases, tags/groups, decorators (
extend) - Lazy loading via virtual proxies
- Attributes:
#[Inject],#[Singleton],#[Factory],#[Bind],#[Tag],#[Lazy] - Pipeline-based, fully extensible resolution engine
- Before/after resolve hooks
- Dependency graph analyzer (export to DOT/Graphviz)
- Beautiful, actionable exceptions
- Container compilation for reflection-free production performance
- Child containers with scoped overrides
- Contextual binding (
when()->needs()->give()) - Service providers with register/boot lifecycle
- WeakMap-backed scoped services (auto-released, no manual reset)
- CLI tools:
container-inspect,container-warmup #[Autowire]for fine-grained parameter/property overrides (services, env vars, literals)#[Autoconfigure]for interface-driven tagging and lifetime configuration

Benchmarks
Aicrion Container was benchmarked against Symfony DependencyInjection, PHP-DI, and Laravel's Illuminate Container on the same PHP 8.5.8 machine (10,000 revs x 5 iterations per subject). Full methodology and raw output: benchmarks/RESULTS.md.
Live resolution (no ahead-of-time compilation):
| Container | Constructor injection | Singleton lookup |
|---|---|---|
| Symfony DependencyInjection | 0.195us | 0.190us |
| PHP-DI | 1.478us | -- |
| Laravel Illuminate Container | 2.546us | 0.316us |
| Aicrion Container | 5.616us | 1.510us |
Compiled resolution (ahead-of-time optimization):
| Container | Constructor injection | Singleton lookup |
|---|---|---|
| Symfony DependencyInjection (compiled) | 0.183us | 0.183us |
| Aicrion Container (compiled) | 0.599us | 0.283us |
Compiling Aicrion Container's definitions delivers a ~9.4x speedup on constructor injection and ~5.3x on singleton lookups over live reflection-based resolution.
