Why would anyone write an ember book and begin by talking about ``` App. __container__ ``` and ``` App. __container__.lookup ``` ? ---

“Laravel - From Apprentice to Artisan” begins by talking about the IoC container. As a beginner I had a few issues that would have had obvious solutions had I known about the container and how to use it. ---

I don’t think he’s objecting to teaching about the container, but rather using the ` __container__ ` property to access it. That property is private and intended for debugging only. Referencing it directly in your application is just bad practice. ---

My point is that **container** is private for a reason. If a book advocates using that (and in fact from the very beginning), I wouldn’t have high hopes for it. ---

It is pretty awesome to have yet another author take on the task of writing about ember. It seems like some comments above have a negative tone, I hope they seen as constructive criticism. To help current and future authors, I would like to suggest something. As technical topics and especially ember are a pretty quick moving target which makes them hard write about. The best bet to ensure proper alignment with current and future idioms, goals and best practice one should seriously consider consulting a member or two of the ember core team. We are all extremely busy, but we would love to see literature being produce be as helpful and successful as possible. * * * Anyways: Let me quickly clarify some points on the container. The container itself is to be considered an implementation detail. The public API for the IoC & DI system as follows: ```nohighlight application.register application.inject Controller's needs ``` Soon we will add. ```nohighlight Ember.inject Ember.inject.service('some-service') ``` Something we should add: ```nohighlight application.options ``` Everything beyond this should be considered **private** and available as an **implementation detail** or **debugging aid**. Note: The Debugging aid story of `App. __container__ ` I believe is an important one, but the messaging must be clear that it may be a debugging aid only. That being said, recently the ember-extension added a wonderful container inspector pane which likely alleviates the need to consider touching ` __container__ ` for an ever increasing number of user-cases. In some cases, our public API may still be in-sufficient and as such a user may want to experiment with an idea. At this point in time, the user can reach into private api’s to accomplish the task they need. Doing so must be done with the knowledge that this API’s are **not covered by semver** , and **may change at any time**. As ember continues to evolve we will continue to improve, solidify and expand the public API covered by our semver guarantee. ---
