Core Laravel Package

Product Decisions This Supports

This package offers foundational IoC container capabilities but is critically outdated (last release December 2019, zero dependents, and no activity for 5+ years). As a PM, this would drive decisions to avoid adoption for new projects due to unmitigated security risks, compatibility issues with modern PHP versions (despite composer.json claiming >=8.1), and lack of community support. For existing Spiral Framework projects, the built-in container should be used instead of this standalone package. Build-vs-buy analysis would strongly favor modern alternatives like Laravel's container or PHP-DI, which have active maintenance, community adoption, and compatibility with current standards.

When to Consider This Package

Only consider this package if maintaining a legacy system already using it with no upgrade path, and the project is strictly constrained to PHP 7.2–7.4 (per historical release notes). Avoid entirely for new development due to zero dependents, no security updates in 5+ years, and clear incompatibility with modern PHP versions (e.g., 8.1+). Look elsewhere for actively maintained IoC solutions like Symfony Dependency Injection, Laravel's container, or PHP-DI—these have regular releases, robust documentation, and large ecosystems.
