I wrote an article on [Medium](https://medium.com/@Dewey92/controller-in-slim-framework-3-48a3310452d0) about how I manage dependencies required by controllers/actions. The main points are:

1. I don’t need to register all my actions/controllers to the container.
2. I don’t need to remember my dependencies order when injecting through constructor
3. The dependencies are served from the app container under the hood by _extending_ (read: improve) the default CallableResolver class.
4. It’s actually utilizing \ReflectionClass and seems very easy to understand

I really want to hear the feedback from you. Thanks in advance!

If I remember correctly you can do all of this with the PHP-DI-BRIDGE and not have to do any of that.

Thanks @geggleto for providing me the link to that. But, does that project require us to use at least PHP 5.6? Unfortunately, I’m running on a 5.5 shared hosting 😐 so yeah…

you might want to remind your employeers that 5.5 is now EOL and will no longer receive security updates.
