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 canister
Canister
Canister is a psr-11 auto-wiring container for PHP 7. Will add examples later.
Notes
- All classes that aren't in the container are automatically resolved if they exist
- All resolved classes are shared by default
- Reflector uses a simple array cache by default, but can be overridden by using a PSR-16 simple cache interface when passed to the constructor of a new reflector instance
- Container is an implementation of
ArrayAccessso you can do pretty much what you would normally do usingArrayAccess - You can define/override default values for class instances when the code tries to resolve it from the container.
- The get method checks in this order when calling the
getmethod from the container: container, factory callables, shared callables, then attempts to resolve any classes if they exists and attempt to grab them from the reflector's cache first then resolve it automatically. If all else fails it'll returnNULL
Examples
Below are simple examples of it's usage.
Basic instantiation
Storing basic data into the container
Auto-Resolving a class
Creating an alias to a class
This also works for automatically passing dependencies to classes
Define class as a factory
Everytime you call FactoryClass it'll be a new instance instead of being shared by default.
Define factory callable
Dependencies to callables are also auto resolved by default, so you can access the container directly because it's automatically passed to the container by default.
Define shared callable
Want to do the same thing instead store the value instead of creating new instances every call? Well replace factory with shared and you get the same functionality.
(Note: since auto resolution is shared by default, you cannot pass a class name by itself like you can with the factory method)
Defining default parameters for callables & classes
For callables it's as simple as
The first parameter is the class name or callable name that we're trying to define parameters for. The second parameter is an array used to match the parameters we want to define.
You don't have to order them in any order, just need to know the variable name and make that as the key.
Global Definition functions
There's two global definition functions inside the Canister namespace called val (or Canister\val()) and bag or (Canister\bag()).
The val function is used to tell the resolution method that we're using a raw value.
The bag function is used to tell the resolution method that we should check the container for this value.
Other Notes
- You can resolve php classes as well as define their value too.
