ioc container configuration using xml

Populate and configure Laravel's IoC container with xml

, _(*1)

Synopsis

IoCConf provides a convenient way to handle dependecy injection using xml. E.g. it is possible to setup your controllers with either contructor or setter injection., _(*2)

Installation

IocConf requires XmlConf to work., _(*3)

Add thapp/iocconf ans thapp/xmlconf as a requirement to composer.json:, _(*4)

{
    "require": {
        "thapp/iocconf": "1.0.*",
        "thapp/xmlconf": "1.0.*"
    }
}

Then run composer update or composer install, _(*5)

Next step is to tell laravel to load the serviceprovider. In app/config/app.php add, _(*6)

  // ...
  'Thapp\IocConf\IocConfServiceProvider' 
  // ...

to the providers array., _(*7)

Make sure XmlConf is installed properly, then tell XmlConf where to find the ioc configuration (app/config/packages/thapp/xmlconf/config.php), _(*8)

return array(

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Basedir relative to the install directory
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
     */
    'basedir' => array(
        'ioc'      => 'vendor/thapp/iocconf/src/Thapp/IocConf'
    ),

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Reader dictionary
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
     */
    'namespaces' => array(
        'ioc'      => 'Thapp\\IocConf'
    ),
);

Example

Given you want to inject Laravel's view Object into a controller, the xml configuration would look something like this:, _(*9)

view = $view;
    }

}   

```

The config xml would look like this

```xml


  
    
        
        
            
        
    
  

    
```

## Usage

#### xml

Note: An entity node can have an id attribute but must have a class and a scope attribute,
An agument node must either have an id or class attribute.

Possible entity scopes: 

```
- prototype // see Container::bind();
- singleton // see Container::singleton();
- shared    // see Container::share();

```


```xml


<container xmlns="http://getsymphony.com/schema/ioc">

  <entities>

    <entity id="acme.frontcontroller" class="FrontController" scope="prototype"/>

    <entity id="acme.admincontroller" class="AdminController" scope="prototype">
        <call method="setView">
            <argument id="view"/>
        </call>
    </entity>

    <entity class="ControllerRepository" scope="singleton">
      <argument id="acme.frontcontroller"/>
      <argument id="acme.admincontroller"/>
    </entity>

  </entities>

</container>    

php

$repo = App::make('ControllerRepository');

$repo2 = App::make('ControllerRepository');

$repo === $repo2 // true
