ContainerBuilder

__construct(ParameterBagInterface $parameterBag = null)

Parameters

ParameterBagInterface

$parameterBag

compile()

Compiles the container.

This method passes the container to compiler passes whose job is to manipulate and optimize the container.

The main compiler passes roughly do four things:

• The extension configurations are merged;
• Parameter values are resolved;
• The parameter bag is frozen;
• Extension loading is disabled.

bool isFrozen()

Returns true if the container parameter bag are frozen.

Return Value

bool	true if the container parameter bag are frozen, false otherwise

ParameterBagInterface getParameterBag()

Gets the service container parameter bag.

Return Value

ParameterBagInterface

A ParameterBagInterface instance

mixed getParameter(string $name)

Gets a parameter.

Parameters

string

$name

The parameter name

Return Value

mixed

The parameter value

Exceptions

InvalidArgumentException

if the parameter is not defined

bool hasParameter(string $name)

Checks if a parameter exists.

Parameters

string

$name

The parameter name

Return Value

bool	The presence of parameter in container

setParameter(string $name, mixed $value)

Sets a parameter.

Parameters

string	$name	The parameter name
mixed	$value	The parameter value

set(string $id, object $service, string $scope = self::SCOPE_CONTAINER)

Sets a service.

Note: The $scope parameter is deprecated since version 2.8 and will be removed in 3.0.

Parameters

string	$id	The service identifier
object	$service	The service instance
string	$scope	The scope of the service

Exceptions

BadMethodCallException

When this ContainerBuilder is frozen

bool has(string $id)

Returns true if the given service is defined.

Parameters

string

$id

The service identifier

Return Value

bool	true if the service is defined, false otherwise

object get(string $id, int $invalidBehavior = ContainerInterface::EXCEPTION_ON_INVALID_REFERENCE)

Gets a service.

Parameters

string	$id	The service identifier
int	$invalidBehavior	The behavior when the service does not exist

Return Value

object

The associated service

Exceptions

Reference

bool initialized(string $id)

Returns true if the given service has actually been initialized.

Parameters

string

$id

Return Value

bool	true if the service has been initialized, false otherwise

reset()

Resets shared services from the container.

The container is not intended to be used again after being reset in a normal workflow. This method is meant as a way to release references for ref-counting. A subsequent call to ContainerInterface::get will recreate a new instance of the shared service.

Gets all service ids.

Return Value

array

An array of all defined service ids

merge(ContainerBuilder $container)

Merges a ContainerBuilder with the current ContainerBuilder configuration.

Service definitions overrides the current defined ones.

But for parameters, they are overridden by the current ones. It allows the parameters passed to the container constructor to have precedence over the loaded ones.

$container = new ContainerBuilder(array('foo' => 'bar')); $loader = new LoaderXXX($container); $loader->load('resource_name'); $container->register('foo', new stdClass());

In the above example, even if the loaded resource defines a foo parameter, the value will still be 'bar' as defined in the ContainerBuilder constructor.

Parameters
