README

A lightweight factory for creating Pimple containers, including support for PSR-11 compliant containers.

Features

• Simple container factory based on Pimple
• PSR-11 container wrapper using Pimple\Psr11\Container
• Designed with interface abstraction for testability and extensibility

Installation

You can install this package via Composer:

composer require alanvdb/pimple-container-factory

Usage

Basic Pimple Container

To create a raw Pimple container:

use AlanVdb\Container\Factory\PimpleContainerFactory;

$factory = new PimpleContainerFactory();
$container = $factory->createContainer([
    'service' => function () {
        return new \Some\Service();
    },
]);

$service = $container['service'];

PSR-11 Compatible Container

To create a container compatible with Psr\Container\ContainerInterface:

use AlanVdb\Container\Factory\PimplePsr11ContainerFactory;

$factory = new PimplePsr11ContainerFactory();
$container = $factory->createContainer([
    'service' => function () {
        return new \Some\Service();
    },
]);

$service = $container->get('service');

Interfaces

This package uses interfaces for container factories, located under:

• AlanVdb\Container\Definition\PimpleContainerFactoryInterface
• AlanVdb\Container\Definition\ContainerFactoryInterface

You can rely on these interfaces for dependency injection or testing purposes.

Requirements

PHP 8.2 or higher
