PSR-11 Container Generator

Overview

Generates PSR-11 compliant dependency injection container implementations.

When to Use

• Building lightweight DI container
• Creating service locator
• Simple service resolution needs
• Testing with mock containers

Generated Components

Usage Example

<?php

use App\Infrastructure\Container\AutowiringContainer;

$container = new AutowiringContainer();

// Register services
$container->set('config', ['db' => 'mysql://localhost/app']);

// Register factories
$container->factory(LoggerInterface::class, fn($c) => new FileLogger('/var/log/app.log'));

// Register aliases (interface to implementation)
$container->alias(UserRepositoryInterface::class, DoctrineUserRepository::class);

// Resolve services
$logger = $container->get(LoggerInterface::class);
$repository = $container->get(UserRepositoryInterface::class);
$handler = $container->get(CreateUserHandler::class); // Autowired
