Download the PHP package phower/container without Composer
On this page you can find all versions of the php package phower/container. It is possible to download/install these versions without Composer. Possible dependencies are resolved automatically.
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.

Usage
In software engineering, dependency injection is a software design pattern that implements inversion of control for resolving dependencies.
A dependency is an object that can be used (a service). An injection is the passing of a dependency to a dependent object (a client) that would use it.
In order to solve the above we can use a container which knows how to resolve names into instances. This way we can simply inject our container into our classes and then just ask it to provide he required dependencies.
Instances
Creating and using a container is quite simple:
However this is not very efficient in case you need to register hundreds or thousands of instances, which will take too much time and computer resources each time the container goes to be initialized.
Entries
A more efficient way is to simply add entries to the container which are then resolved to the right instance at runtime:
Factories
But what if our dependency requires arguments, which may also be retrieved from inside the container? The solution is to register a factory class instead of our final class.
First let's create a factory class:
Note that your factories must always implement the Phower\Container\FactoryInterface.
Then register the factory and the required argument on the container:
Abstract Factories
Another way to retrieve dependencies from a container is to use an abstract (dynamic) factory. This way you can instantiate dependencies base on a name patter or a namespace.
Let's say you have many classes under the namespace 'Some':
- Some\OneClass
- Some\OtherClass
- Some\ThirdClass
Instead of registering them separatedly we just need a single abstract factory:
Note that your abstract factories must always implement the Phower\Container\AbstractFactoryInterface.
Then register the abstract factory on the container:
Aliases
Sometimes you need to have different names to the same entry on the container. This can be achieved adding aliases instead of duplicating references:
Create container from config
Most of times it would be better to create the container from a (huge) configuration array. This can be done using the static create method with an array of entries as argument:
Running Tests
Tests are available in a separated namespace and can run with PHPUnit in the command line:
