Details

public __construct(ParameterBagInterface $parameterBag = null)

Constructor.

Parameters

ParameterBagInterface $parameterBag A ParameterBagInterface instance

public compile()

Compiles the container.

This method passes the container to compiler passes whose job is to manipulate and optimize the container.

The main compiler passes roughly do four things:

  • The extension configurations are merged;
  • Parameter values are resolved;
  • The parameter bag is frozen;
  • Extension loading is disabled.

public bool isFrozen()

Returns true if the container parameter bag are frozen.

Return Value

bool true if the container parameter bag are frozen, false otherwise

public ParameterBagInterface getParameterBag()

Gets the service container parameter bag.

Return Value

ParameterBagInterface A ParameterBagInterface instance

public mixed getParameter(string $name)

Gets a parameter.

Parameters

string $name The parameter name

Return Value

mixed The parameter value

Exceptions

InvalidArgumentException if the parameter is not defined

public bool hasParameter(string $name)

Checks if a parameter exists.

Parameters

string $name The parameter name

Return Value

bool The presence of parameter in container

public setParameter(string $name, mixed $value)

Sets a parameter.

Parameters

string $name The parameter name
mixed $value The parameter value

public set(string $id, object $service)

Sets a service.

Parameters

string $id The service identifier
object $service The service instance

Exceptions

BadMethodCallException When this ContainerBuilder is frozen

public bool has(string $id)

Returns true if the given service is defined.

Parameters

string $id The service identifier

Return Value

bool true if the service is defined, false otherwise

public object get(string $id, int $invalidBehavior = ContainerInterface::EXCEPTION_ON_INVALID_REFERENCE)

Gets a service.

Parameters

string $id The service identifier
int $invalidBehavior The behavior when the service does not exist

Return Value

object The associated service

Exceptions

InvalidArgumentException when no definitions are available
LogicException when a circular dependency is detected
Exception

Reference

public bool initialized(string $id)

Returns true if the given service has actually been initialized.

Parameters

string $id The service identifier

Return Value

bool true if service has already been initialized, false otherwise

public reset()

Resets shared services from the container.

The container is not intended to be used again after being reset in a normal workflow. This method is meant as a way to release references for ref-counting. A subsequent call to ContainerInterface::get will recreate a new instance of the shared service.

public array getServiceIds()

Gets all service ids.

Return Value

array An array of all defined service ids

static public string camelize(string $id)

Camelizes a string.

Parameters

string $id A string to camelize

Return Value

string The camelized string

static public string underscore(string $id)

A string to underscore.

Parameters

string $id The string to underscore

Return Value

string The underscored string

public setResourceTracking(bool $track)

Sets the track resources flag.

If you are not using the loaders and therefore don't want to depend on the Config component, set this flag to false.

Parameters

bool $track true if you want to track resources, false otherwise

public bool isTrackingResources()

Checks if resources are tracked.

Return Value

bool true if resources are tracked, false otherwise

public setProxyInstantiator(InstantiatorInterface $proxyInstantiator)

Sets the instantiator to be used when fetching proxies.

Parameters

InstantiatorInterface $proxyInstantiator

public registerExtension(ExtensionInterface $extension)

Parameters

ExtensionInterface $extension An extension instance

public ExtensionInterface getExtension(string $name)

Returns an extension by alias or namespace.

Parameters

public removeDefinition(string $id)

Removes a service definition.

Parameters

string $id The service identifier

public merge(ContainerBuilder $container)

Merges a ContainerBuilder with the current ContainerBuilder configuration.

Service definitions overrides the current defined ones.

But for parameters, they are overridden by the current ones. It allows the parameters passed to the container constructor to have precedence over the loaded ones.

$container = new ContainerBuilder(array('foo' => 'bar')); $loader = new LoaderXXX($container); $loader->load('resource_name'); $container->register('foo', new stdClass());

In the above example, even if the loaded resource defines a foo parameter, the value will still be 'bar' as defined in the ContainerBuilder constructor.

Parameters

ContainerBuilder $container The ContainerBuilder instance to merge.

Exceptions

BadMethodCallException When this ContainerBuilder is frozen
