Removed

Inflectors have been removed in v6.0. Use afterResolve() or the event system instead.

The inflector subsystem (Container::inflector(), InflectorInterface, InflectorAggregate, InflectorAggregateInterface) has been fully removed. The inflector() method has also been removed from DefinitionContainerInterface.

Migration Guide

Using afterResolve() (recommended)

afterResolve() is a drop-in replacement for the most common inflector patterns. The callback receives the resolved object directly:

Callback form:

<?php

$container->afterResolve(LoggerAwareInterface::class, fn($obj) => $obj->setLogger($logger));

Method invocation:

<?php

$container->afterResolve(LoggerAwareInterface::class, function (object $service) use ($container) {
    $service->setLogger($container->get(Logger::class));
});

Property setting:

<?php

$container->afterResolve(DatabaseAwareInterface::class, function (object $service) use ($container) {
    $service->connection = $container->get(Database::class);
});

Multiple method calls:

<?php

$container->afterResolve(TimestampableInterface::class, function (object $service) {
    $service->setCreatedAt(new DateTime());
    $service->setUpdatedAt(new DateTime());
});

Using the full event API

For advanced use cases such as replacing resolved objects, use listen() directly:

<?php

use League\Container\Event\ServiceResolvedEvent;

$container->listen(ServiceResolvedEvent::class, function (ServiceResolvedEvent $event) {
    $event->setResolved(new CachedRepository($event->getResolved()));
})->forType(RepositoryInterface::class);

See the events documentation for the full API.
