DI Container Generator

Overview

Generates Dependency Injection container configuration components for PHP 8.4 following DDD and Clean Architecture principles.

When to Use

• Setting up new bounded context DI configuration
• Creating service provider/module for feature
• Configuring autowiring and interface bindings
• Registering tagged services (handlers, strategies)
• Setting up factory-based service creation

Generated Components

Component	Location	Purpose
Module	src/Infrastructure/DependencyInjection/{Context}Module.php	Service registration
ServiceProvider	src/Infrastructure/DependencyInjection/{Context}ServiceProvider.php	Laravel-style provider
Extension	src/Infrastructure/DependencyInjection/{Context}Extension.php	Symfony bundle extension
Configuration	config/services/{context}.yaml	YAML configuration
CompilerPass	src/Infrastructure/DependencyInjection/Compiler/{Name}Pass.php	Service manipulation

Input Requirements

1. Context name - Bounded context (e.g., "Order", "Payment")
2. Framework - Symfony, Laravel, or PHP-DI
3. Services to register - Interfaces and implementations
4. Tagged services - Handlers, strategies, listeners

SOLID Compliance

Principle	Implementation
SRP	Module only handles DI registration
OCP	Tagged services enable extension without modification
DIP	Interface-to-implementation bindings
ISP	Small focused modules per context
