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 dice
Dice PHP Dependency Injection Container
Dice is a minimalist Dependency Injection Container for PHP with a focus on being lightweight and fast as well as requiring as little configuration as possible.
Project Goals
1) To be lightweight and not a huge library with dozens of files (Currently Dice is just 220-ish LOC in one file) yet support all features (and more) offered by much more complex containers
2) To "just work". Basic functionality should work with zero configuration
3) Where configuration is required, it should be as minimal and reusable as possible as well as easy to use.
4) Speed! (See the section on performance)
Installation
Just include the lightweight Dice.php in your project and it's usable without any further configuration:
Simple example:
Full Documentation
For complete documentation please see the Dice PHP Dependency Injection container home page
PHP version compatibility
Dice is compatible with PHP5.4 and up.
Performance
Dice uses reflection, which is often wrongly labelled "slow". Reflection is considerably faster than loading and parsing a configuration file. There are a set of benchmarks here and here (To download the benchmark tool yourself see this repository) and Dice is faster than the others in most cases.
In the real world test (test 6) Dice is neck-and-neck with Pimple (which requires writing an awful lot of configuration code) and although Symfony\DependencyInjection is faster at creating objects, it has a larger overhead and you need to create over 500 objects on each page load until it becomes faster than Dice. The same is true of Phalcon, the overhead of loading the Phalcon extension means that unless you're creating well over a thousand objects per HTTP request, the overhead is not worthwhile.
Updates
14/08/2014
- (garrettw) Made my fork focusing on code readability, simplicity, and optimization
28/06/2014
- Greatly improved efficiency. Dice is now the fastest Dependency Injection Container for PHP!
06/06/2014
- Added support for cyclic references ( https://github.com/TomBZombie/Dice/issues/7 ). Please note this is poor design but this fix will stop the infinite loop this design creates.
27/03/2014
- Removed assign() method as this duplicated functionality available using $rule->shared
- Removed $callback argument in $dice->create() as the only real use for this feature can be better achieved using $rule->shareInstances
- Tidied up code, removing unused/undocumented features. Dice is now even more lightweight and faster.
- Fixed a bug where when using $rule->call it would use the substitution rules from the constructor on each method called
- Updated Dice documentation to use shorthand array syntax
01/03/2014
- Added test cases for the Xml Loader and Loader Callback classes
- Added a JSON loader + test case
- Added all test cases to a test suite
- Moved to PHP5.4 array syntax. A PHP5.3 compatible version is now available in the PHP5.3 branch.
- Fixed an issue where using named instances would trigger the autoloader with an invalid class name every time a class was created
28/02/2014
- Added basic namespace support. Documentation update will follow shortly. Also moved the XML loader into its own file, you'll need to include it separately if you're using it.
- Please note: CHANGES ARE NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE. However they are easily fixed by doing the following find/replaces:
