Compiled Container

One of the advanced features of the Norvica DI Container is the ability to compile your container configuration. This means transforming the PHP code that defines your services into a highly optimized PHP class, resulting in significantly faster container performance.

Creating a Snapshot#

To compile your container, use the Configurator::snapshot() method:

// container.php
use Norvica\Container\Configurator;

$configurator = new Configurator();
$configurator->snapshot(dir: __DIR__ . '/../var/cache', class: 'MyCompiledContainer');
$configurator->load(__DIR__ . '/container.php');

$container = $configurator->container();

How It Works Under the Hood:

• Analysis: The snapshot() method analyzes your container.php configuration file, identifying services, dependencies, and their relationships.
• Code Generation: It generates a PHP class (MyCompiledContainer in the example) that includes the logic to create and configure all your services in a highly optimized way.
• Caching: The generated class is cached in the specified directory (__DIR__ . '/../var/cache'). On subsequent runs, the container will load the cached class instead of re-analyzing the configuration.
