Dirt simple dependency injection container

Dimple

Dirt simple dependency injection container based loosely on Pimple, _(*1)

Install

composer require glenjamin/dimple

Usage

$di = new \Dimple\Dimple();

$di->setup('app', function($di) {
    return new Application($di->get('db'), $di->get('logger'));
});

$di->setup('db', function($di) {
    return new \PDO($di->get('db-string'));
});

$di->set('dbstring', 'mysql://localhost');
$di->setup('logger', function($di) {
    return new Logger($di->get('logfile', '/dev/null'));
});

$app = $di->get('app');
$app->run();

How do I return the same instance on subsequent calls?

You don't., _(*2)

Is it fast?

Unfortunately not massively, although it's not too bad, _(*3)

It's a little over two times slower than raw object initialisation. If you use it for only your service level objects it should be palatable., _(*4)
