Dependency Injection A real world « web » example

In most web applications, you need to manage the user preferences –  The user language –  Whether the user is authenticated or not –  The user credentials –  …

This can be done with a User object –  setLanguage(), getLanguage() –  setAuthenticated(), isAuthenticated() –  addCredential(), hasCredential() –  ...

The User information need to be persisted between HTTP requests We use the PHP session for the Storage

class SessionStorage { function __construct($cookieName = 'PHP_SESS_ID') { session_name($cookieName); session_start(); } function set($key, $value) { $_SESSION[$key] = $value; } // ... }

class User { protected $storage; function __construct() Very hard to { customize $this->storage = new SessionStorage(); } function setLanguage($language) { $this->storage->set('language', $language); } // ... } Very easy to use $user = new User();

class User { protected $storage; Very easy to customize function __construct($storage) { $this->storage = $storage; } } $storage = new SessionStorage(); $user = new User($storage); Slightly more difficult to use

That’s Dependency Injection Nothing more

Let’s understand why the ﬁrst example is not a good idea

I want to change the session cookie name

class User { protected $storage; function __construct() Hardcode it in the { User class $this->storage = new SessionStorage('SESSION_ID'); } function setLanguage($language) { $this->storage->set('language', $language); } // ... } $user = new User();

class User { protected $storage; function __construct() { $this->storage = new SessionStorage(STORAGE_SESSION_NAME); } } Add a global configuration? define('STORAGE_SESSION_NAME', 'SESSION_ID'); $user = new User();

class User { protected $storage; function __construct($sessionName) { $this->storage = new SessionStorage($sessionName); } } $user = new User('SESSION_ID'); Configure via User?

class User { protected $storage; function __construct($storageOptions) { $this->storage = new SessionStorage($storageOptions ['session_name']); $user = new User( array('session_name' => 'SESSION_ID') ); Configure with an array?

I want to change the session storage implementation Filesystem MySQL Memcached …

class User { protected $storage; function __construct() Use a global { registry object? $this->storage = Registry::get('session_storage'); } } $storage = new SessionStorage(); Registry::set('session_storage', $storage); $user = new User();

Now, the User depends on the Registry

Instead of harcoding the Storage dependency inside the User class constructor Inject the Storage dependency in the User object

class User { protected $storage; function __construct($storage) { $this->storage = $storage; } } $storage = new SessionStorage('SESSION_ID'); $user = new User($storage);

What are the advantages?

Use diﬀerent Storage strategies

class User { protected $storage; function __construct($storage) { $this->storage = $storage; } } Use a different Storage engine $storage = new MySQLSessionStorage('SESSION_ID'); $user = new User($storage);

Conﬁguration becomes natural

class User { protected $storage; function __construct($storage) { $this->storage = $storage; } } Configuration is natural $storage = new MySQLSessionStorage('SESSION_ID'); $user = new User($storage);

Wrap third-party classes (Interface / Adapter)

class User { protected $storage; Add an interface function __construct(SessionStorageInterface $storage) { $this->storage = $storage; } } interface SessionStorageInterface { function get($key); function set($key, $value); }

Mock the Storage object (for testing)

class User { protected $storage; function __construct(SessionStorageInterface $storage) { $this->storage = $storage; } } Mock the Session class SessionStorageForTests implements SessionStorageInterface { protected $data = array(); static function set($key, $value) { self::$data[$key] = $value; } }

Use diﬀerent Storage strategies Conﬁguration becomes natural Wrap third-party classes (Interface / Adapter) Mock the Storage object (for testing) Easy without changing the User class

« Dependency Injection is where components are given their dependencies through their constructors, methods, or directly into ﬁelds. » http://www.picocontainer.org/injection.html

$storage = new SessionStorage(); // constructor injection $user = new User($storage); // setter injection $user = new User(); $user->setStorage($storage); // property injection $user = new User(); $user->storage = $storage;

A slightly more complex web example

$request = new Request(); $response = new Response(); $storage = new FileSessionStorage('SESSION_ID'); $user = new User($storage); $cache = new FileCache( array('dir' => dirname(__FILE__).'/cache') ); $routing = new Routing($cache);

class Application { function __construct() { $this->request = new WebRequest(); $this->response = new WebResponse(); $storage = new FileSessionStorage('SESSION_ID'); $this->user = new User($storage); $cache = new FileCache( array('dir' => dirname(__FILE__).'/cache') ); $this->routing = new Routing($cache); } } $application = new Application();

Back to square 1

class Application { function __construct() { $this->request = new WebRequest(); $this->response = new WebResponse(); $storage = new FileSessionStorage('SESSION_ID'); $this->user = new User($storage); $cache = new FileCache( array('dir' => dirname(__FILE__).'/cache') ); $this->routing = new Routing($cache); } } $application = new Application();

We need a Container Describes objects and their dependencies Instantiates and conﬁgures objects on-demand

A container SHOULD be able to manage any PHP object (POPO) The objects MUST not know that they are managed by a container

•  Parameters –  The SessionStorageInterface implementation we want to use (the class name) –  The session name •  Objects –  SessionStorage –  User •  Dependencies –  User depends on a SessionStorageInterface implementation

Let’s build a simple container with PHP 5.3

DI Container Managing parameters

class Container { protected $parameters = array(); public function setParameter($key, $value) { $this->parameters[$key] = $value; } public function getParameter($key) { return $this->parameters[$key]; } }

Decoupling $container = new Container(); Customization $container->setParameter('session_name', 'SESSION_ID'); $container->setParameter('storage_class', 'SessionStorage'); $class = $container->getParameter('storage_class'); $sessionStorage = new $class($container->getParameter('session_name')); $user = new User($sessionStorage); Objects creation

class Container Using PHP { magic methods protected $parameters = array(); public function __set($key, $value) { $this->parameters[$key] = $value; } public function __get($key) { return $this->parameters[$key]; } }

Interface is cleaner $container = new Container(); $container->session_name = 'SESSION_ID'; $container->storage_class = 'SessionStorage'; $sessionStorage = new $container->storage_class($container->session_name); $user = new User($sessionStorage);

DI Container Managing objects

We need a way to describe how to create objects, without actually instantiating anything! Anonymous functions to the rescue!

Anonymous Functions / Lambdas A lambda is a function deﬁned on the ﬂy with no name function () { echo 'Hello world!'; };

Anonymous Functions / Lambdas A lambda can be stored in a variable $hello = function () { echo 'Hello world!'; };

Anonymous Functions / Lambdas And then it can be used as any other PHP callable $hello(); call_user_func($hello);

Anonymous Functions / Lambdas You can also pass a lambda as an argument to a function or method function foo(Closure $func) { $func(); } foo($hello);

Fonctions anonymes $hello = function ($name) { echo 'Hello '.$name; }; $hello('Fabien'); call_user_func($hello, 'Fabien'); function foo(Closure $func, $name) { $func($name); } foo($hello, 'Fabien');

DI Container Managing objects

class Container { protected $parameters = array(); protected $objects = array(); public function __set($key, $value) { $this->parameters[$key] = $value; } public function __get($key) Store a lambda { return $this->parameters[$key]; able to create the object on-demand } public function setService($key, Closure $service) { $this->objects[$key] = $service; } public function getService($key) Ask the closure to create { return $this->objects[$key]($this); th e object and pass the } } current Container

$container = new Container(); $container->session_name = 'SESSION_ID'; Description $container->storage_class = 'SessionStorage'; $container->setService('user', function ($c) { return new User($c->getService('storage')); }); $container->setService('storage', function ($c) { return new $c->storage_class($c->session_name); }); Creating the User is now as easy as before $user = $container->getService('user');

class Container { protected $values = array(); Simplify the code function __set($id, $value) { $this->values[$id] = $value; } function __get($id) { if (is_callable($this->values[$id])) { return $this->values[$id]($this); } else { return $this->values[$id]; } } }

$container = new Container(); Unified interface $container->session_name = 'SESSION_ID'; $container->storage_class = 'SessionStorage'; $container->user = function ($c) { return new User($c->storage); }; $container->storage = function ($c) { return new $c->storage_class($c->session_name); }; $user = $container->user;

DI Container Scope

For some objects, like the user, the container must always return the same instance

spl_object_hash($container->user) !== spl_object_hash($container->user)

$container->user = function ($c) { static $user; if (is_null($user)) { $user = new User($c->storage); } return $user; };

spl_object_hash($container->user) === spl_object_hash($container->user)

$container->user = $container->asShared(function ($c) { return new User($c->storage); });

A closure is a lambda that remembers the context of its creation…

class Article { public function __construct($title) { $this->title = $title; } public function getTitle() { return $this->title; } } $articles = array( new Article('Title 1'), new Article('Title 2'), );

$mapper = function ($article) { return $article->getTitle(); }; $titles = array_map($mapper, $articles);

$method = 'getTitle'; $mapper = function ($article) use($method) { return $article->$method(); }; $method = 'getAuthor'; $titles = array_map($mapper, $articles);

$mapper = function ($method) { return function ($article) use($method) { return $article->$method(); }; };

$titles = array_map($mapper('getTitle'), $articles); $authors = array_map($mapper('getAuthor'), $articles);

$container->user = $container->asShared(function ($c) { return new User($c->storage); });

function asShared(Closure $lambda) { return function ($container) use ($lambda) { static $object; if (is_null($object)) { $object = $lambda($container); } return $object; }; }

class Container { protected $values = array(); function __set($id, $value) { $this->values[$id] = $value; } function __get($id) { Error management if (!isset($this->values[$id])) { throw new InvalidArgumentException(sprintf('Value "%s" is not defined.', $id)); } if (is_callable($this->values[$id])) { return $this->values[$id]($this); } else { return $this->values[$id]; } } }

class Container { protected $values = array(); function __set($id, $value) { $this->values[$id] = $value; } function __get($id) { if (!isset($this->values[$id])) { throw new InvalidArgumentException(sprintf('Value "%s" is not defined.', $id)); } if (is_callable($this->values[$id])) { return $this->values[$id]($this); } else { return $this->values[$id]; } } function asShared($callable) { 40 LOC for a fully- return function ($c) use ($callable) { static $object; if (is_null($object)) { $object = $callable($c); featured container } return $object; }; } }

Twittee: A Container in a tweet •  Implementation does not use PHP 5.3 •  Its usage needs PHP 5.3 class Container { protected $s=array(); function __set($k, $c) { $this->s[$k]=$c; } function __get($k) { return $this->s[$k]($this); } } twittee.org

Remember, most of the time, you don’t need a Container to use Dependency Injection

You can start to use and beneﬁt from Dependency Injection today

by implementing it in your projects by using externals libraries that already use DI without the need of a container

DI Container Hello World example use SymfonyComponentsDependencyInjectionBuilder; use SymfonyComponentsDependencyInjectionReference; $container = new Builder(); $container->register('output', 'FancyOutput'); $container-> register('message', 'Message')-> setArguments(array(new Reference('output'), array('with_newline' => true))) ; $container->message->say('Hello World!');

$message = $container->message; Get the conﬁguration for the message service The Message constructor must be given an output service Get the output object from the container Create a Message object by passing the constructor arguments
