DI Container Generator

Overview

Generates Dependency Injection container configuration components for PHP 8.5 following DDD and Clean Architecture principles.

When to Use

• Setting up new bounded context DI configuration
• Creating service provider/module for feature
• Configuring autowiring and interface bindings
• Registering tagged services (handlers, strategies)
• Setting up factory-based service creation

Generated Components

Input Requirements

1. Context name – Bounded context (e.g., “Order”, “Payment”)
2. Framework – Symfony, Laravel, or PHP-DI
3. Services to register – Interfaces and implementations
4. Tagged services – Handlers, strategies, listeners
