## Getting started

### Installation
This library can be installed using composer, if you don't have it already, [download it](https://getcomposer.org/download).

You can either run this command :
```bash
composer require delights/box
```
Or by adding a requirement in your `composer.json` :
```json
{
"require": {
"delights/box": "0.3.0"
}
}
```
Don't forget to run `composer install` after adding the requirement.

Before diving into the autowiring and stuff, we need to create a container instance.
```php
use Delights\Box\Container;

$container = new Container();
```

## Bindings
You can bind something into the container, it works just like a key => value array.
```php
$container->bind('key', 'value');
echo $container->resolve('key'); // prints "value"
```

You may want to bind a class in a closure if you need more specific arguments,
```php
$container->bind(Crawler::class, function () {
return new Crawler('f4dg65gd6fg465g');
});
```
Every time you ask for a `Crawler::class`, this closure will be executed and a fresh instance of `Crawler` will be created.
To avoid that, you can use the `singleton` method.

```php
$container->singleton(Connection::class, function () {
return new Connection();
});
```
Now, the `Connection` class will be instantiated once, and the closure never executed again.

You may want to use an interface for your `Crawler` so you can easily swap instances and stuff. However, you want to retrieve the `Crawler` instance when `CrawlerInterface` is needed.
Instead of manually bind these classes, you can use the `bindToImplementation` method.

```php
$container->bindToImplementation(CrawlerInterface::class, Crawler::class);
// same as
$container->bindToImplementation(CrawlerInterface::class, new Crawler);
// same as
$container->bindToImplementation(CrawlerInterface::class, function () {
return new Crawler;
});
```

## Resolving
Smartly resolving parameters is the primary goal of this package. You can resolve anything that needs parameter including, constructors, closures, methods, functions.
We even support resolving properties if there is an annotation .

### Autowiring
Autowiring allows the container to auto-magically resolve dependencies using the Reflection API.

```php
use Delights\Box\Container;
$container = new Container();

class SomeClass {}
$container->resolve(SomeClass::class); // returns an instance of "SomeClass"

class SomeOtherClass {
public function __construct(SomeClass $dep) {
$this->dep = $dep;
}
}
$container->resolve(SomeOtherClass::class);
// returns an instance of "SomeOtherClass"
// with $this->dep set to an instance of "SomeClass"
```

The container can resolve non-typed argument but only in two cases : they should either allow null or have a default value.

### Resolving an object method
```php
class PostsRepository {
public function all() {
return ['My article'];
}
}

class PostController {
public function index(PostsRepository $repository) {
return $repository->all();
}
}

$container->call(PostController::class, 'index');
// This returns |'My article']
```
### Resolving a Closure
```php
$container->closure(function (SomeClass $class) {
return $class instanceof SomeClass;
}); // returns true
```

### Resolve with arbitrary parameters
```php
class Vec2 {
protected int $x;
protected int $y;

public function __construct(int $x, int $y) {
$this->x = $x;
$this->y = $y;
}
}
$container->resolve(Vec2::class, [
'x' => 2,
'y' => 4
]); // returns an instance of "Vec2"
```

The order does not matter, in our example, it can be either `[x, y]` or `[y, x]`.

You can pass arbitrary parameters to any resolve function.

## Singleton
You may want to have a global Container that keeps the same bindings across your app.
> Usually, you want to avoid this kind of behavior.

```php
use Delights\Box\PersistentContainer;

PersistentContainer::getInstance();
```
Here, we this is the first time you call it, a new instance will be created.
However, if you already created one, the same instance will be returned.

### Static Proxies
There is a little shortcut.
```php
use Delights\Box\PersistentContainer;

// instead of this
PersistentContainer::getInstance()->bind('some', 'thing');

// you can do that
PersistentContainer::bind('some', 'thing');

```
This is available for any of the `PersistentContainer` public methods.
