In PHP-DI, you can define a new service for an existing container without modifying the existing code (adhering to OCP). Here's how you can do it:
-
Get the Existing Container: First, you'll need to have access to the existing container. If you've already got that, great!
-
Define the New Service: You can use the
set
method to define a new service. Here's an example:$container->set('newService', function () { return new NewService(); });
-
Use the New Service: Once the service is defined, you can retrieve it from the container like any other service:
$newService = $container->get('newService');
Remember, keep it clean and simple (KISS). If the new service has dependencies, make sure they are properly injected, and the code is organised to maintain a clear separation of concerns.
