Resolving Objects from the IoC Container

You have a interface binding, an object, or even a piece of data in the IoC container and need to access it in your application.

This is the complement App::bind().

// Somewhere in your code
App::bind('myclass', function($app)
{
    return new MyCoolClass();
});
// Later
$myclass = App::make('myclass');

It also complements App::instance().

// Somewhere in your code
App::instance('mydata', $mydata);
// Later
$mydata = App::make('mydata');

You can also retrieve singleton objects.

// Somewhere in your code
App::singleton('mysingleton', 'stdClass');
// Later
$var = App::make('mysingleton');
$var->test = '123';
// Even later
$var2 = App::make('mysingleton');
echo $var2->test;

You can construct classes, resolving dependencies automatically.

class Foo {
}
class Bar {
    protected $foo;
    public function __construct(Foo $foo)
    {
        $this->foo = $foo;
    }
}
// Construct Bar, automatically injecting a Foo instance
$bar = App::make('Bar');

You can resolve interfaces which have been bound to the IoC container.

App::bind('SomeInterface', 'SomeClassImplementingSomeInterface');
$var = App::make('SomeInterface');

Also, you can use app() as an alias to App::make().

$obj = app('stdClass');
