#### Adding a clock service
Lets assume that we want to show the current time in our Hello action. We could easily just call use one of the many
ways to get the current time directly in the handle-method, but maybe we want to make that configurable and
ways to get the current time directly in the handle-method, but lets create a separate class and interface for that so
we can later configure and switch our implementation.
We need a new 'Service\Time' namespace, so lets first create the folder in our 'src' directory 'src/Service/Time'.
There we place a Clock.php interface and a SystemClock.php implementation:
The Clock.php interface:
```php
<?php declare(strict_types=1);
namespace Lubian\NoFramework\Service\Time;
interface Clock
{
public function now(): \DateTimeImmutable;
}
```
The SystemClock.php implementation:
```php
<?php declare(strict_types=1);
namespace Lubian\NoFramework\Service\Time;
final class SystemClock implements Clock
{
public function now(): \DateTimeImmutable
{
return new \DateTimeImmutable();
}
}
```
Now we can require the Clockinterface as a depencency in our controller and use it to display the current time.
```php
<?php declare(strict_types=1);
namespace Lubian\NoFramework\Action;
use Lubian\NoFramework\Service\Time\Clock;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface;
use Psr\Http\Server\RequestHandlerInterface;
final class Hello implements RequestHandlerInterface
{
public function __construct(
private readonly ResponseInterface $response,
private readonly Clock $clock
)
{
}
public function handle(ServerRequestInterface $request): ResponseInterface
{
$name = $request->getAttribute('name', 'Stranger');
$body = $this->response->getBody();
$time = $this->clock->now()->format('H:i:s');
$body->write('Hello ' . $name . '!<br />');
$body->write('The Time is: ' . $time);
return $this->response->withBody($body)
->withStatus(200);
}
}
```
But if we try to access the corresponding route in the webbrowser we get an error:
> Too few arguments to function Lubian\NoFramework\Action\Hello::__construct(), 1 passed in /home/lubiana/PhpstormProjects/no-framework/app/src/Bootstrap.php on line 62 and exactly 2 expected
Our current problem is, that we have two Actions defined, which both have different constructor requirements. That means,
that we need to have some code in our Application, that creates our Action Objects and takes care of injection all the
needed dependencies.
This code is called a Dependency Injector. If you want you can read [this](https://afilina.com/learn/design/dependency-injection)
great blogpost about that topic, which I highly recommend.
Lets build our own Dependency Injector to make our application work again.
As a starting point we are going to take a look at the [Container Interface])(https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-11/) that
is widely adopted in the PHP-World.
#### Building a dependency container
**Short Disclaimer:** *Although it would be fun to write our own great implementation of this interface with everything that
is needed for modern php development I will take a shortcut here and implement very reduced version to show you the
basic concept.*
The `Pst\Container\ContainerIterface` defines two methods:
* has($id): bool
returns true if the container can provide a value for a given ID
* get($id): mixed
returns some kind of value that is registered in the container for the given ID
I mostly define an Interface or a fully qualified classname as an ID. That way I can query the container for
the Clock interface or an Action class and get an object of that class or an object implementing the given Interface.
For the sake of this tutorial we will put a new file in our config folder that returns an anonymous class implementing
the containerinterface.
In this class we will configure all services required for our application and make them accessible via the get($id)
method.
`config/container.php`:
```php
<?php declare(strict_types=1);
return new class () implements \Psr\Container\ContainerInterface {
private readonly array $services;
public function __construct()
{
$this->services = [
\Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface::class => fn () => \Laminas\Diactoros\ServerRequestFactory::fromGlobals(),
\Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface::class => fn () => new \Laminas\Diactoros\Response(),
\FastRoute\Dispatcher::class => fn () => \FastRoute\simpleDispatcher(require __DIR__ . '/routes.php'),
\Lubian\NoFramework\Service\Time\Clock::class => fn () => new \Lubian\NoFramework\Service\Time\SystemClock(),
\Lubian\NoFramework\Action\Hello::class => fn () => new \Lubian\NoFramework\Action\Hello(
$this->get(\Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface::class),
$this->get(\Lubian\NoFramework\Service\Time\Clock::class)
),
\Lubian\NoFramework\Action\Other::class => fn () => new \Lubian\NoFramework\Action\Other(
$this->get(\Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface::class)
),
];
}
public function get(string $id)
{
if (! $this->has($id)) {
throw new class () extends \Exception implements \Psr\Container\NotFoundExceptionInterface {
};
}
return $this->services[$id]();
}
public function has(string $id): bool
{
return array_key_exists($id, $this->services);
}
};
```
Here I have declared a services array, that has a class- or interfacename as the keys, and the values are short
closures that return an Object of the defined class or interface. The `has` method simply checks if the given id is
defined in our services array, and the `get` method calls the closure defined in the array for the given id key and then
returns the result of that closure.
To use the container we need to update our Bootstrap.php. Firstly we need to get an instance of our container, and then
use that to create our Request-Object as well as the Dispatcher. So remove the manual instantion of those objects and
replace that with the following code:
```php
$container = require __DIR__ . '/../config/container.php';
assert($container instanceof \Psr\Container\ContainerInterface);
$request = $container->get(\Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface::class);
assert($request instanceof \Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface);
$dispatcher = $container->get(FastRoute\Dispatcher::class);
assert($dispatcher instanceof \FastRoute\Dispatcher);
```
In the Dispatcher switch block we manually build our handler object with this two lines:
```php
$handler = new $className($response);
assert($handler instanceof RequestHandlerInterface);
```
Instead of manually creating the Handler-Instance we are going to kindly ask the Container to build it for us:
```php
$handler = $container->get($className);
assert($handler instanceof RequestHandlerInterface);
```
If you now open the `/hello` route in your browser everything should work again!
#### Using Autowiring
A dependency injector resolves the dependencies of your class and makes sure that the correct objects are injected when
the class is instantiated.
Again the psr has defined an [interface](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-11/) for dependency injection that we can work
Again the FIG has defined an [interface](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-11/) for dependency injection that we can work
with. Almost all common dependency injection containers implement this interface, so it is a good starting point to look
for a [suitable solution on packagist](https://packagist.org/providers/psr/container-implementation).
