Instantiator

, _(*1)

Lightweight instantiator., _(*2)

Installation

Install using composer require stratadox/instantiator, _(*3)

What is this?

The Instantiator module provides a most simplistic way of producing empty instances., _(*4)

An Instantiator is configured to produce instances of a specific class. In this way it differs from most other instantiator packages, which usually specify the class to instantiate as method parameter., _(*5)

Basic usage

<?php
use Stratadox\Instantiator\ObjectInstantiator;

$provideFoo = ObjectInstantiator::forThe(Foo::class);

assert($provideFoo->instance() instanceof Foo);
assert(Foo::class === $provideFoo->class());

How does it work?

The ObjectInstantiator class basically just extends ReflectionClass in order to alias its newInstanceWithoutConstructor method. In cases where this instantiation method fails, for instance when a final class inherits from an internal class, deserialization is used instead., _(*6)

Alternatively, this module includes a PredefinedInstanceProvider. This one isn't really an instantiator, but rather an iterator, but that does not stop it from implementing the Instantiator interface., _(*7)
