__construct(ParameterBagInterface $parameterBag = null)

Parameters

ParameterBagInterface

$parameterBag

compile(bool $resolveEnvPlaceholders = false)

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.

Parameters

bool

$resolveEnvPlaceholders

Whether %env()% parameters should be resolved using the current env vars or be replaced by uniquely identifiable placeholders. Set to "true" when you want to use the current ContainerBuilder directly, keep to "false" when the container is dumped instead.

bool isCompiled()

Returns true if the container is compiled.

Return Value

bool

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

Exceptions

BadMethodCallException

When this ContainerBuilder is compiled

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

bool initialized(string $id)

Returns true if the given service has actually been initialized.

Parameters

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.

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

ContainerBuilder

$container

Exceptions

BadMethodCallException

When this ContainerBuilder is compiled
