Di Laravel Package

Product Decisions This Supports

• Build vs Buy: Ideal for teams needing a lightweight, standards-compliant DI solution without heavy framework dependencies. Avoids reinventing the wheel for PSR-11 compatibility while keeping scope minimal.
• Architecture Decisions: Enables clean separation of concerns through dependency injection, supporting modular component design and testable code. Critical for projects where decoupling logic from frameworks is a priority.
• Roadmap Prioritization: Suitable for greenfield projects or libraries requiring DI but not tied to a specific ecosystem (e.g., standalone PHP tools or custom frameworks). Avoids locking into framework-specific DI patterns.
• Use Cases: Best for applications where explicit resource configuration (e.g., shared DB connections, protected configs) and hierarchical container scopes are needed without advanced autowiring or complex orchestration.

When to Consider This Package

• Adopt when:
  • You need pure PSR-11 compliance for interoperability with other PHP tools.
  • Your project uses PHP 8.1+ and requires a minimal DI solution (no framework bloat).
  • You need explicit control over resource sharing/protection (e.g., singleton DB instances) or hierarchical container overrides.
• Look elsewhere when:
  • Using Laravel/Symfony (their built-in DI is more feature-rich and battle-tested).
  • You require autowiring, advanced reflection, or extensive community support (this package has 0 dependents and low adoption).
  • Your team lacks DI expertise—simpler solutions like manual dependency passing may be preferable for small projects.
  • PHP <8.1 is required (this package mandates 8.1+).

How to Pitch It (Stakeholders)

Executives: "This lightweight, standards-compliant DI package ensures our code is modular, testable, and maintainable—reducing long-term technical debt. By adhering to PSR-11, it integrates seamlessly with industry tools while avoiding vendor lock-in, accelerating feature delivery without compromising scalability."

Engineering: "It’s a zero-bloat, PSR-11-compatible container with precise control over resource lifecycles (shared/protected modes), aliases, and nested scopes—perfect for decoupling components without framework dependencies. Easy Composer integration, minimal setup, and PHP 8.1+ support make it ideal for custom frameworks or standalone libraries where simplicity and interoperability matter most."
