 This code can be refactored to use Dependency Injection and therefore loosen the dependency.
+Here, we inject the dependency in a constructor and use the [constructor property promotion][php-constructor-promotion] so it is available as a property across the class:
 
 {% highlight php %}
 <?php
 namespace Database;
 
 class Database
 {
-    protected $adapter;
-
-    public function __construct(MySqlAdapter $adapter)
+    public function __construct(protected MySqlAdapter $adapter)
     {
-        $this->adapter = $adapter;
     }
 }

 Now we are giving the `Database` class its dependency rather than creating it itself. We could even create a method
 that would accept an argument of the dependency and set it that way, or if the `$adapter` property was `public` we
 could set it directly.
