| Fully Qualified Name: | Zend\ServiceManager\Factory\AbstractFactoryInterface |
| Extends: | FactoryInterface |
Interface for an abstract factory.
An abstract factory extends the factory interface, but also has an additional "canCreate" method, which is called to check if the abstract factory has the ability to create an instance for the given service. You should limit the number of abstract factories to ensure good performance. Starting from ServiceManager v3, remember that you can also attach multiple names to the same factory, which reduces the need for abstract factories.
