# Container Package Specification

## Overview

The Container package provides a powerful dependency injection container that matches Laravel's container functionality while leveraging Dart's type system. It supports auto-wiring, contextual binding, method injection, and tagged bindings.

## Development Guidelines

### 1. Getting Started
Before contributing to this package:
1. Review [Getting Started Guide](getting_started.md)
2. Check [Container Gap Analysis](container_gap_analysis.md)
3. Follow [Testing Guide](testing_guide.md)
4. Use [Foundation Integration Guide](foundation_integration_guide.md)

### 2. Integration Patterns
When integrating with other packages:
1. Follow patterns in [Foundation Integration Guide](foundation_integration_guide.md)
2. Check [Package Integration Map](package_integration_map.md)
3. Review [Laravel Compatibility Roadmap](laravel_compatibility_roadmap.md)

### 3. Testing Requirements
All contributions must:

2. Include integration tests (see [Testing Guide](testing_guide.md#integration-tests))
3. Meet performance targets (see [Testing Guide](testing_guide.md#performance-tests))

### 4. Documentation Requirements
All changes must:
1. Update this specification if needed
2. Update [Container Gap Analysis](container_gap_analysis.md) if needed
3. Follow documentation standards in [Getting Started Guide](getting_started.md#documentation)

## Next Steps

See [Container Gap Analysis](container_gap_analysis.md) for:
1. Missing features to implement
2. Areas needing improvement
3. Integration gaps
4. Documentation gaps
