cakephp-service-container

Configuration file example

Using the ServiceContainer Component

In order to call the services inside the container, you will need to use the CakePHP component provided by the Plugin, in order to do so you will need to put the following entry in the components array.

With the component prepared, you can call a service by calling the getService method.

Dependency injection

Lets say that in your container we have two classes, the User and the Contact class. The contact class needs as a dependency the user instance and also a integer with the maximum number of phones that it should have.

We can pass all of this dependencies through the service container instead of instancing it manually in the Contact class. In order to do so we will to pass arguments to the Contact class in the services container configuration file.

In the arguments we can pass primitive values or another service already in the configuration file, only by passing a string with the name of the service preceded by a @, like this for the user class: "@User".

Below you will find the examples of how to create this situation

app/Config/services.php

someController.php

Lib/UserEntity.php

Lib/ContactEntity.php
