Symfony | What are containers?

Question

I didn't get what are "containers", is this about Symfomy's services? $this->getDoctrine() become $this->container...help :3

Answer 1

Service container is the most important feature in Symfony.

It decouples the dependency between your app and the services.

This make your app components more reusable and configurable.

Search "dependency injection" for a more detailed explanation.

Thanks I will have a look at it ;)

Answer 3

After reading a while, may I say a "container" is a box contaning a unique instance of an object available inthe whole project as would be a singleton?
