Technically Null Container

Technically\NullContainer is a PSR-11 container implementation that is always empty.

This is a NullObject pattern implementation for PSR-11.

This is useful when you want to provide an optional ContainerInterface dependency, but don't want to deal with nullable values.

Installation

Use Composer package manager to add NullContainer to your project:

composer require technically/null-container

Example

use Psr\Container\ContainerInterface;
use Technically\NullContainer\NullContainer;

final class MyServiceContainer implements ContainerInterface
{
    private ContainerInterface $parent;

    /**
     * @param ContainerInterface|null $parent
     */
    public function __construct(ContainerInterface $parent = null)
    {
        $this->parent = $parent ?? new NullContainer();
    }

    // ... your code, where you don't need to deal with $parent set to `null`.
}
