- query() : mixed
- Look up a service for a given name in the container.
- registerAlias() : mixed
- Shortcut for returning a service from a service under a different key, e.g. to tell the container to return a class when queried for an interface
- registerParameter() : void
- A value is stored in the container with it's corresponding name
- registerService() : void
- A service is registered in the container where a closure is passed in which will actually create the service on demand.
- resolve() : stdClass
- If a parameter is not registered in the container try to instantiate it by using reflection to find out how to build the class
Methods
query()
Look up a service for a given name in the container.
public
query(string $name[, bool $autoload = true ]) : mixed
Parameters
- $name : string
- $autoload : bool = true
-
Should we try to autoload the service. If we are trying to resolve built in types this makes no sense for example

Return values
mixed —registerAlias()
Shortcut for returning a service from a service under a different key, e.g. to tell the container to return a class when queried for an interface
public
registerAlias(string $alias, string $target) : mixed
Parameters
- $alias : string
-
the alias that should be registered
- $target : string
-
the target that should be resolved instead
Tags
Return values
mixed —registerParameter()
A value is stored in the container with it's corresponding name
public
registerParameter(string $name, mixed $value) : void
Parameters
- $name : string
- $value : mixed
Tags
registerService()
A service is registered in the container where a closure is passed in which will actually create the service on demand.
public
registerService(string $name, Closure $closure[, bool $shared = true ]) : void
In case the parameter $shared is set to true (the default usage) the once created service will remain in memory and be reused on subsequent calls. In case the parameter is false the service will be recreated on every call.
Parameters
- $name : string
- $closure : Closure
- $shared : bool = true
Tags
resolve()
If a parameter is not registered in the container try to instantiate it by using reflection to find out how to build the class
public
resolve(string $name) : stdClass
Parameters
- $name : string
-
the class name to resolve
