composer require gidato/laravel-container-extensions

You then need to find the following line in \bootstrap\app.php

$app = new Illuminate\Foundation\Application(
    $_ENV['APP_BASE_PATH'] ?? dirname(__DIR__)
);

And change it as follows:

$app = new Gidato\Container\Application(
    $_ENV['APP_BASE_PATH'] ?? dirname(__DIR__)
);

Nested Containers

A separate container can be created and used within a container, effectively namespacing the bound elements.

This allows specific parts of the application to be directly associated with a specific container.

To access sub containers, you can use app()->container("name-of-container"), and then bind things to this level.

Directly bound classes can then be retrieved (if you want them all), using $container->getAllBound(). This will give only specifically bound classes/objects, and will not deliver any that could be dynamically created.

If you want to exclude other nested containers from this call, use $container->getAllBound($recursive = true)

Binding using Factory Creation

Instead of creating a closure in the Provider, this allows the creation to be done within a factory class, which can then live with the class, making it more accessible.

The factory must implement Gidato\Container\Contract\FactoryContract which requires that the class be invokable. The method should be defined to match the following:

public function __invoke(\Psr\Container\ContainerInterface $container, string $requestedName, array $parameters = []);

And then, in the provider, class can be bound using:

$app->singletonFromFactory($abstract, $factoryClass)
$app->bindFromFactory($abstract, $factoryClass, $shared = false)
