Registry

The Registry is used for registering new objects, and retrieving previously registered objects.

Each object has a specific lifetime set during registration, currently, the following two lifetimes are supported:

• transient: when retrieved, a new object is created.
• singleton: when retrieved, a single instance is lazily created, and a reference is returned.

All functions of the registry are outlined in the Registry reference guide or described in detail in the documentation.

The next step is to more thoroughly understand lifetimes.
