Advanced Container Package for Laravel

Advanced Container for Laravel is a package that provides syntax sugars for Laravel container calls, bindings, and more.

Here's an example of binding services, singletons, and scoped interfaces with this package:

// Basic binding
bind(ServiceInterface::class)->to(Service::class);
 
// Singleton
bind(ServiceInterface::class)->singleton(Service::class);
 
// Scoped instance
bind(ServiceInterface::class)->scoped(Service::class);

With this package, you can do method binding using the package's syntax sugar to do things like perform calls to your service through the container and override method behavior:

// Basic call to a service through the container
call(Service::class)->yourMethod(100)
 
// Override the method behavior
bind(Service::class)->method()->yourMethod(function ($service, $app, $params) {
    return $service->yourMethod($params['count']) + 1;
});
 
// Alternative syntax to bind method behavior
bind(Service::class)->method('yourMethod', function ($service, $app, $params) {
    return $service->yourMethod($params['count']) + 1;
});

Using this package, you can easily mock methods in your tests as well:

bind(ServiceInterface::class)->method(
    'externalApiRequestReturnsFalse',
    fn () => false
);
 
$service = call(ServiceInterface::class);
 
$call = $service->externalApiRequestReturnsFalse();
 
$this->assertFalse($call);

This package also supports method forwarding—check the README for details. You can learn more about this package, get full installation instructions, and view the source code on GitHub.
