PHP Class yii\di\Container
A dependency injection (DI) container is an object that knows how to instantiate and configure objects and
all their dependent objects. For more information about DI, please refer to
Martin Fowler's article.
Container supports constructor injection as well as property injection.
To use Container, you first need to set up the class dependencies by calling
Container::set.
You then call
Container::get to create a new class object. Container will automatically instantiate
dependent objects, inject them into the object being created, configure and finally return the newly created object.
By default, [[\Yii::$container]] refers to a Container instance which is used by [[\Yii::createObject()]]
to create new object instances. You may use this method to replace the
new operator
when creating a new object, which gives you the benefit of automatic dependency resolution and default
property configuration.
Below is an example of using Container:
php
namespace app\models;
use yii\base\Object;
use yii\db\Connection;
use yii\di\Container;
interface UserFinderInterface
{
function findUser();
}
class UserFinder extends Object implements UserFinderInterface
{
public $db;
public function __construct(Connection $db, $config = [])
{
$this->db = $db;
parent::__construct($config);
}
public function findUser()
{
}
}
class UserLister extends Object
{
public $finder;
public function __construct(UserFinderInterface $finder, $config = [])
{
$this->finder = $finder;
parent::__construct($config);
}
}
$container = new Container;
$container->set('yii\db\Connection', [
'dsn' => '...',
]);
$container->set('app\models\UserFinderInterface', [
'class' => 'app\models\UserFinder',
]);
$container->set('userLister', 'app\models\UserLister');
$lister = $container->get('userLister');
which is equivalent to:
$db = new \yii\db\Connection(['dsn' => '...']);
$finder = new UserFinder($db);
$lister = new UserLister($finder);
For more details and usage information on Container, see the
guide article on di-containers.

Class Usage Examples
Public Methods
Protected Methods
Method Details
This method will resolve dependencies of the specified class, instantiate them, and inject
them into the new instance of the specified class.
protected build ( string $class, array $params, array $config ) : object |
$class |
string |
the class name |
$params |
array |
constructor parameters |
$config |
array |
configurations to be applied to the new instance |
return |
object |
the newly created instance of the specified class |
Removes the definition for the specified name.
public clear ( string $class ) |
$class |
string |
class name, interface name or alias name |
You may provide constructor parameters (
$params) and object configurations (
$config)
that will be used during the creation of the instance.
If the class implements [[\yii\base\Configurable]], the
$config parameter will be passed as the last
parameter to the class constructor; Otherwise, the configuration will be applied *after* the object is
instantiated.
Note that if the class is declared to be singleton by calling
Container::setSingleton,
the same instance of the class will be returned each time this method is called.
In this case, the constructor parameters and object configurations will be used
only if the class is instantiated the first time.
public get ( string $class, array $params = [], array $config = [] ) : object |
$class |
string |
the class name or an alias name (e.g. `foo`) that was previously registered via [[set()]]
or [[setSingleton()]]. |
$params |
array |
a list of constructor parameter values. The parameters should be provided in the order
they appear in the constructor declaration. If you want to skip some parameters, you should index the remaining
ones with the integers that represent their positions in the constructor parameter list. |
$config |
array |
a list of name-value pairs that will be used to initialize the object properties. |
return |
object |
an instance of the requested class. |
getDefinitions()
public method
Returns the list of the object definitions or the loaded shared objects.
public getDefinitions ( ) : array |
return |
array |
the list of the object definitions or the loaded shared objects (type or ID => definition or instance). |
getDependencies()
protected method
Returns the dependencies of the specified class.
Returns a value indicating whether the container has the definition of the specified name.
public has ( string $class ) : boolean |
$class |
string |
class name, interface name or alias name |
return |
boolean |
whether the container has the definition of the specified name.. |
hasSingleton()
public method
Returns a value indicating whether the given name corresponds to a registered singleton.
public hasSingleton ( string $class, boolean $checkInstance = false ) : boolean |
$class |
string |
class name, interface name or alias name |
$checkInstance |
boolean |
whether to check if the singleton has been instantiated. |
return |
boolean |
whether the given name corresponds to a registered singleton. If `$checkInstance` is true,
the method should return a value indicating whether the singleton has been instantiated. |
This methods allows invoking a callback and let type hinted parameter names to be
resolved as objects of the Container. It additionally allow calling function using named parameters.
For example, the following callback may be invoked using the Container to resolve the formatter dependency:
php
$formatString = function($string, \yii\i18n\Formatter $formatter) {
...
}
Yii::$container->invoke($formatString, ['string' => 'Hello World!']);
This will pass the string 'Hello World!' as the first param, and a formatter instance created
by the DI container as the second param to the callable.
public invoke ( callable $callback, array $params = [] ) : mixed |
$callback |
callable |
callable to be invoked. |
$params |
array |
The array of parameters for the function.
This can be either a list of parameters, or an associative array representing named function parameters. |
return |
mixed |
the callback return value. |
mergeParams()
protected method
Merges the user-specified constructor parameters with the ones registered via
Container::set.
normalizeDefinition()
protected method
Normalizes the class definition.
resolveCallableDependencies()
public method
This method can be used to implement similar functionality as provided by
Container::invoke in other
components.
resolveDependencies()
protected method
Resolves dependencies by replacing them with the actual object instances.
protected resolveDependencies ( array $dependencies, ReflectionClass $reflection = null ) : array |
$dependencies |
array |
the dependencies |
$reflection |
ReflectionClass |
the class reflection associated with the dependencies |
return |
array |
the resolved dependencies |
For example,
php
register a class name as is. This can be skipped.
$container->set('yii\db\Connection');
register an interface
When a class depends on the interface, the corresponding class
will be instantiated as the dependent object
$container->set('yii\mail\MailInterface', 'yii\swiftmailer\Mailer');
register an alias name. You can use $container->get('foo')
to create an instance of Connection
$container->set('foo', 'yii\db\Connection');
register a class with configuration. The configuration
will be applied when the class is instantiated by get()
$container->set('yii\db\Connection', [
'dsn' => 'mysql:host=127.0.0.1;dbname=demo',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '',
'charset' => 'utf8',
]);
register an alias name with class configuration
In this case, a "class" element is required to specify the class
$container->set('db', [
'class' => 'yii\db\Connection',
'dsn' => 'mysql:host=127.0.0.1;dbname=demo',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '',
'charset' => 'utf8',
]);
register a PHP callable
The callable will be executed when $container->get('db') is called
$container->set('db', function ($container, $params, $config) {
return new \yii\db\Connection($config);
});
If a class definition with the same name already exists, it will be overwritten with the new one.
You may use
Container::has to check if a class definition already exists.
public set ( string $class, mixed $definition = [], array $params = [] ) |
$class |
string |
class name, interface name or alias name |
$definition |
mixed |
the definition associated with `$class`. It can be one of the following:
- a PHP callable: The callable will be executed when [[get()]] is invoked. The signature of the callable
should be `function ($container, $params, $config)`, where `$params` stands for the list of constructor
parameters, `$config` the object configuration, and `$container` the container object. The return value
of the callable will be returned by [[get()]] as the object instance requested.
- a configuration array: the array contains name-value pairs that will be used to initialize the property
values of the newly created object when [[get()]] is called. The `class` element stands for the
the class of the object to be created. If `class` is not specified, `$class` will be used as the class name.
- a string: a class name, an interface name or an alias name. |
$params |
array |
the list of constructor parameters. The parameters will be passed to the class
constructor when [[get()]] is called. |
setDefinitions()
public method
Registers class definitions within this container.
public setDefinitions ( array $definitions ) |
$definitions |
array |
array of definitions. There are two allowed formats of array.
The first format:
- key: class name, interface name or alias name. The key will be passed to the [[set()]] method
as a first argument `$class`.
- value: the definition associated with `$class`. Possible values are described in
[[set()]] documentation for the `$definition` parameter. Will be passed to the [[set()]] method
as the second argument `$definition`.
Example:
```php
$container->setDefinitions([
'yii\web\Request' => 'app\components\Request',
'yii\web\Response' => [
'class' => 'app\components\Response',
'format' => 'json'
],
'foo\Bar' => function () {
$qux = new Qux;
$foo = new Foo($qux);
return new Bar($foo);
}
]);
```
The second format:
- key: class name, interface name or alias name. The key will be passed to the [[set()]] method
as a first argument `$class`.
- value: array of two elements. The first element will be passed the [[set()]] method as the
second argument `$definition`, the second one — as `$params`.
Example:
```php
$container->setDefinitions([
'foo\Bar' => [
['class' => 'app\Bar'],
[Instance::of('baz')]
]
]);
``` |
setSingleton()
public method
This method is similar to
Container::set except that classes registered via this method will only have one
instance. Each time
Container::get is called, the same instance of the specified class will be returned.
public setSingleton ( string $class, mixed $definition = [], array $params = [] ) |
$class |
string |
class name, interface name or alias name |
$definition |
mixed |
the definition associated with `$class`. See [[set()]] for more details. |
$params |
array |
the list of constructor parameters. The parameters will be passed to the class
constructor when [[get()]] is called. |
setSingletons()
public method
public setSingletons ( array $singletons ) |
$singletons |
array |
array of singleton definitions. See [[setDefinitions()]]
for allowed formats of array. |
