# AliasFactory

A factory that resolves an alias to another service within a PSR-11 container.

This factory MUST be used when a service should act as an alias for another
service already registered in the container.

When invoked, it SHALL delegate resolution to the aliased service identifier.

* Full name: `\FastForward\Container\Factory\AliasFactory`
* This class is marked as **final** and can't be subclassed
* This class implements:
[`\FastForward\Container\Factory\FactoryInterface`](./FactoryInterface.md)
* This class is a **Final class**




## Methods


### __construct

Constructs the AliasFactory with the target service identifier.

```php
public __construct(string $alias): mixed
```








**Parameters:**

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|-----------|------|-------------|
| `$alias` | **string** | the identifier of the service to which this factory points |





***

### __invoke

Resolves the aliased service from the container.

```php
public __invoke(\Psr\Container\ContainerInterface $container): mixed
```

This method MUST return the same instance as if the original alias identifier
were used directly with the container.






**Parameters:**

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|-----------|------|-------------|
| `$container` | **\Psr\Container\ContainerInterface** | the container instance to resolve the alias from |


**Return Value:**

the resolved service instance




***

### get

Retrieves or creates a cached AliasFactory for a given alias.

```php
public static get(string $alias): self
```

This static method SHOULD be used to avoid instantiating multiple factories
for the same alias unnecessarily. The same instance will be reused for each alias.

* This method is **static**.




**Parameters:**

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|-----------|------|-------------|
| `$alias` | **string** | the identifier to create or retrieve the factory for |


**Return Value:**

an AliasFactory instance associated with the provided alias
