Referencing PHP-DI definitions defined as multi-dimensional arrays

Question

If I have an array of definitions like below, the injection of a RouteCollector instance in other objects is executed perfectly:

use MyApp\Routing\RouteCollector;

return [
    'router.options.routeParser' => 'FastRoute\\RouteParser\\Std',
    'router.options.dataGenerator' => 'FastRoute\\DataGenerator\\GroupCountBased',
    RouteCollector::class => DI\object()
            ->constructorParameter('routeParser', DI\get('router.options.routeParser'))
            ->constructorParameter('dataGenerator', DI\get('router.options.dataGenerator')),
];

But is there a way to achieve the same result if I define the router.options definition as array? E.g. how can I reference its elements in the RouteCollector::class definition?

use MyApp\Routing\RouteCollector;

return [
    'router.options' => [
        'routeParser' => 'FastRoute\\RouteParser\\Std',
        'dataGenerator' => 'FastRoute\\DataGenerator\\GroupCountBased',
    ],
    RouteCollector::class => DI\object()
            ->constructorParameter('routeParser', <ASKING>)
            ->constructorParameter('dataGenerator', <ASKING>),
];

Please note that it is not about passing the corresponding fully qualified class name (like \FastRoute\RouteParser\Std) as argument to the constructorParameter method. It's about referencing a config option defined in an array, in general.

Thank you for your support.

This is not possible out of the box. You could however do something like this (but it's not very readable):

RouteCollector::class => DI\object()
        ->constructorParameter('routeParser', DI\factory(function ($c) {
              return $c->get('router.options')['routeParser'];
          }))

With the future v6.0 you will also be able to remove the DI\factory and directly put the closure.

Thank you, Matthieu. I thought that it won't work as I presented, but I hoped that I missed a feature doing just that, somewhere in the docs/code of PHP-DI... Indeed, not very readable, but a good suggestion. I know now that it's possible and I will balance the use of it... In other order, I want to congratulate you for the great PHP-DI project! Good luck! – Jan 11 '18 at 15:10
