22 PHP MVC Services

This document discusses dependency injection, services, and controllers as services in Symfony. It defines dependency injection as a pattern where dependencies are passed into dependent objects. Symfony services allow defining reusable objects that are independent of application logic and can be injected where needed. The document demonstrates creating a CountryService and injecting it into a controller class. Controllers can also be defined as services to make them more testable and identify "fat" controllers.

DEPENDENCY INJECTION
Dependency Injection

• Dependency injection is a software design pattern in witch one or


more dependencies (or services) are injected, or passed by
reference, into a dependent object (or client) and are made part of
the client’s
state.
• The pattern separates the creation of a client’s dependencies from
its own behavior, witch allows program designs to be loosely coupled
and to follow the dependency inversion and single responsibility
principles.
• In directly contrasts with the service locator pattern, witch allows
clients to know about the system they use to find dependencies.
Controller

5
Problems of the code

• Name of the author is out of scope of the question


• Author is tightly coupled with the Question
• Unit Testing becomes difficult

6
INJECT ALL DEPENDENCIES!
Controller

8
Benefits

• Reduces complexity
• Improves quality
• Eases unit testing

9
Using constructor injection

• Strictly defines the requirements


• Dependencies cannot be changed

Except…
• Does not work with optional dependencies
• Inheritance can become difficult
Solution ?
10
Setter Injection

• Allows creating an object with


the default values
• Allows easy insertion of new
optional dependencies

11
SYMFONY SERVICES
What is Service

• Useful objects not directly related your application logic

Inject Use CRUD


Controller Services ORM
Database
Defining our own services

SYMFONY SERVICES EXAMPLE
countries_mysql.sql
MyController.php
CountryService.php
CountryRepository.php
Result
CONTROLLER AS A SERVICE
Controller as a Service

• Controller and passed services can be controller by a


container
configuration
• Sandboxing the controller
• Easily spotting "fat" controllers
Creating the controller as a service
Drawbacks

• More work to create


• Complex constructor
• More work to create methods defined in the base
controller
