laminas/laminas-servicemanager 4.0.0-rc2

The laminas/laminas-servicemanager package provides an implementation of the Service Locator design pattern. It serves as a service/object locator, tasked with retrieving other objects. As a factory-driven dependency injection container, it helps manage dependencies within your PHP application, making it easier to maintain and test your code.

To leverage the benefits of laminas/laminas-servicemanager in your PHP application, you can use it as follows:

// Import the ServiceManager class
use Laminas\ServiceManager\ServiceManager;

// Define some services
$services = [
    'factories' => [
        MyService::class => MyServiceFactory::class,
        // ...
    ],
    'aliases' => [
        'my_alias' => MyService::class,
        // ...
    ],
];

// Instantiate the ServiceManager
$serviceManager = new ServiceManager($services);

// Retrieve a service
$myService = $serviceManager->get('my_alias');

In the above example, we're setting up the service manager with an array of services - service factories and aliases. We then create an instance of the ServiceManager and retrieve a service using an alias.
