Details

__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 isCompiled()

Returns true if the container is compiled.

Return Value

bool

bool isFrozen() deprecated

deprecated

since version 3.3, to be removed in 4.0.

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)

Sets a service.

Parameters

string $id The service identifier
object $service The service instance

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.

If you are not using the loaders and therefore don't want to depend on the Config component, set this flag to false.

Parameters

removeDefinition(string $id)

Removes a service definition.

Parameters

string $id The service identifier

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.

Exceptions

BadMethodCallException When this ContainerBuilder is compiled
