These are the complex problems that Dependency Injection solves.

### Inversion of Control
|
||||
|

Inversion of Control is as it says, "inverting the control" of a system by keeping organisational control entirely separate from our objects.

Inversion of Control is as it says, "inverting the control" of a system by keeping organisational control entirely separate from our objects.
|
||||
In terms of Dependency Injection, this means loosening our dependencies by controlling and instantiating them elsewhere in the system.
|
||||
|
||||
For years, PHP frameworks have been achieving Inversion of Control, however, the question became, which part of control
|
||||
are you inverting, and where to? For example, MVC frameworks would generally provide a super object or base controller that other
|
||||
controllers must extend to gain access to it's dependencies. This **is** Inversion of Control, however, instead of loosening

### Dependency Inversion Principle
|
||||
|
||||
Dependency Inversion Principle is the "D" in the S.O.L.I.D set of object oriented design principles that states one should
|
||||
*"Depend on Abstractions. Do not depend on concretions."*. Put simply, this means our dependencies should be interfaces/contracts or abstract

|
||||
classes rather than concrete implementations. We can easily refactor the above example to follow this principle.

to wait for said colleague to finish the adapter before we could properly mock it for our unit tests. Now that the dependency

is an interface/contract we can happily mock that interface knowing that our colleague will build the adapter based on that contract.

An even bigger benefit to this method is that our code is now much more scalable. If a year down the line we decide that we

want to migrate to a different type of database, we can write an adapter that implements the original interface and inject that instead,

no more refactoring would be required as we can ensure that the adapter follows the contract set by the interface.

## Containers {#containers_title}
|

The first thing you should understand about Dependency Injection Containers is that they are not the same thing as Dependency
|
||||
Injection. A container is a convenience utility that helps us implement Dependency Injection, however, they can be and often
|
||||
are misused to implement an anti pattern, Service Location. Using a container as a Service Locator within your classes arguably
|
||||
creates a harder dependency on the container than the dependency you are replacing. It also makes your code much less transparent

What this means in practice is that you can write application code that is as clean and de-coupled as the framework it is built on.
