1.2.280. Could Inject Parameter¶

The parameter is immediately used to create an object. It could be interesting to replace it with an injection of that object’s type to keep the method generic.

<?php

class x {

     // The directory is immediately injected
     function foo(Directory $dir) {
             $this->dir = $dir;
     }

     // Path is injected, then turned into a directory
     function bar(string $path) {
             $this->dir = new Directory($path);
     }
}
?>
