Caplet Laravel Package

pmjones/caplet

Caplet is a minimal PSR-11 autowiring dependency injection container for constructor injection and simple factories. Use get() for shared instances, new() for fresh ones, configure scalar parameters via an array, and map interfaces/abstracts via factories.

Product Decisions This Supports

  • Building internal project tooling where simplicity and maintainability outweigh complex feature requirements
  • Choosing to build vs buy for small-scale utilities (e.g., data migration, deployment scripts) without reinventing CLI boilerplate
  • Roadmap alignment for adding lightweight, testable CLI components to existing PHP projects without framework bloat
  • Use cases like environment setup, one-off reporting, or maintenance tasks where full frameworks (e.g., Symfony Console) would be overkill

When to Consider This Package

  • ✅ When developing simple, single-purpose commands with basic argument/option handling
  • ✅ For teams prioritizing minimal dependencies and clear separation of concerns
  • ✅ In projects already using PHP where adding a full CLI framework is unnecessary
  • ❌ If advanced features are needed (e.g., interactive prompts, command chaining, auto-completion)
  • ❌ When your stack already includes mature CLI tools (e.g., Laravel Artisan) that meet requirements
  • ❌ For mission-critical tools requiring long-term enterprise support (low GitHub adoption may indicate limited community maintenance)

How to Pitch It (Stakeholders)

  • Executives: "Caplet slashes development time and costs for internal tools by providing a lightweight, ready-to-use CLI framework. With MIT licensing and near-zero maintenance overhead, it accelerates delivery of critical utilities—like deployment scripts or reporting tools—without specialized expertise or infrastructure."
  • Engineering: "Caplet’s minimal API and pluggable I/O let us focus on business logic, not boilerplate. It integrates in hours, not days, avoids framework complexity, and ensures testable output—perfect for quick utilities and project-specific scripts."
