# Container
:::info
Current state: **Stable**

The container module permits to generate containers.
## Module: container
### class Container
### `new Container()`
- Returns: <Type>Container</Type>
```javascript
const container = new Container();
container.add('config', {
get: (configName) => {},
set: (configName, value) => {},
});
const dbConfig = container.get('config').get('database');
```
### `container.add(name, resolver)`
- `name`: <Type>String</Type> UID of the content
- `resolver`: <Type>Function</Type> | <Type>Any</Type>
- As a function, the function will be executed when the first get method is called on this content. The result of this function will define the content of this UID.
- `resolver(context, args)`
- `context`: <Type>Container</Type> The container instance
- `args`: <Type>Any</Type> Anything to be used by the resolver function
- As anything else, this value will be resolved when getting this specified content through its UID.
Register a new content to be accessed inside the container. If the name is already used, it will throw an error.
```javascript
const container = new Container();
container.add('config', (container, args) => {});
// or
container.add('services', {});
```
### `container.get(name, args)`
- `name`: <Type>String</Type> UID of the content
- `args`: <Type>Any</Type> Value that will be passed to the resolver (if function)
Get the value stored for a specific `name`.
```javascript
const container = new Container();
container.add('config', { db: 'sqlite' });
const config = container.get('config');
// config.db === 'sqlite'
```
⚠️ If the **resolver**, used in the [register function](#containerregistername-resolver), is a **function**, the value will be the result of this resolver function with `args` as parameter on the first call to `get`.
Please pay attention that the resolver result value isn't awaited. So if resolver returns a promise, the value stored will be a promise.
```javascript
const container = new Container();
container.add('boolean', (bool) => bool);
// First call - The value is resolved through the resolver above "(bool) => bool"
container.get('boolean', true);
// true
// Any further call will use the previously set value
container.get('boolean');
// true
// Even if we try to push a new value
container.get('boolean', false);
// true
```
