Configuration

Plugin loading

Load the plugin as any other plugin in app/Config/bootstrap.php:

CakePlugin::load('ContainerInterop', array('bootstrap' => true));

The bootstrap file must be loaded, to set up all configurations needed.

Add pre-configured service container

By installing Zend Service Manager plugin.

More pre-configured service containers will be provided as they appear.

Or configure your container instance

By default container is loaded from file app/Config/container.php (file should return configured service container instance as in sample below). You can change file location by specifying config value before plugin load:

Configure::write('Interop\Container\ContainerInterface', 'app/Config/container.php');

app/Config/container.php sample

<?php

// Build container
$container = new SomeServiceContainer();

return $container;
