nice solution, thanks! since

$dependency = $parameter->getClass();

is deprecated in the lastest php version, what would you suggest to fix that? 🤔

$dependency = $parameter->getType() && !$parameter->getType()->isBuiltin() ? new \ReflectionClass($parameter->getType()->getName()) : null;
This change fixes the error caused by the Deprecated: Function ReflectionParameter::getClass() is deprecated message after a new PHP update.
