`Dependency Injection`__
========================
Purpose
-------
To implement a loosely coupled architecture in order to get better
testable, maintainable and extendable code.
Usage
-----
Configuration gets injected and ``Connection`` will get all that it
needs from ``$config``. Without DI, the configuration would be created
directly in ``Connection``, which is not very good for testing and
extending ``Connection``.
Notice we are following Inversion of control principle in ``Connection``
by asking ``$config`` to implement ``Parameters`` interface. This
decouples our components. We don't care where the source of information
comes from, we only care that ``$config`` has certain methods to
retrieve that information. Read more about Inversion of control
`here <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_of_control>`__.
Examples
--------
- The Doctrine2 ORM uses dependency injection e.g. for configuration
that is injected into a ``Connection`` object. For testing purposes,
one can easily create a mock object of the configuration and inject
that into the ``Connection`` object
- Symfony and Zend Framework 2 already have containers for DI that
create objects via a configuration array and inject them where needed
(i.e. in Controllers)
