laravel Dependency injection ( ai generated)
In Laravel, dependency injection is handled seamlessly using Laravel's Service Container. Laravel automatically resolves dependencies by analyzing type-hinted parameters in constructors.
1. Constructor Injection in Laravel
Laravel automatically injects dependencies when you type-hint a class in the constructor.
Example: Injecting a Service into a Controller
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Services\GreetingService;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class GreetingController extends Controller
{
private $greetingService;
// Laravel automatically injects GreetingService
public function __construct(GreetingService $greetingService)
{
$this->greetingService = $greetingService;
}
public function greet()
{
return $this->greetingService->sayHello();
}
}
Service Class
namespace App\Services;
class GreetingService
{
public function sayHello()
{
return "Hello from GreetingService!";
}
}
Route Definition
use App\Http\Controllers\GreetingController;
Route::get('/greet', [GreetingController::class, 'greet']);
How It Works:
- Laravel automatically resolves
GreetingService
when creatingGreetingController
. - No need for
new GreetingService()
.
2. Binding Dependencies in Laravel’s Service Container
If a class has complex dependencies, you can bind it manually.
Binding a Service in AppServiceProvider
use App\Services\GreetingService;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
public function register()
{
$this->app->bind(GreetingService::class, function ($app) {
return new GreetingService();
});
}
}
Now, whenever Laravel needs GreetingService
, it uses this binding.
3. Dependency Injection in Laravel Middleware, Jobs, or Commands
Laravel’s DI also works in:
- Middleware
- Jobs
- Commands
- Events
- Listeners
Example: Injecting into Middleware
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use App\Services\GreetingService;
use Closure;
class ExampleMiddleware
{
private $greetingService;
public function __construct(GreetingService $greetingService)
{
$this->greetingService = $greetingService;
}
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
// Using injected service
\Log::info($this->greetingService->sayHello());
return $next($request);
}
}
Conclusion
Laravel’s Service Container handles dependency injection automatically. You can:
- Use constructor injection (preferred method).
- Manually bind dependencies using
$this->app->bind()
inAppServiceProvider
. - Use dependency injection in Controllers, Middleware, Jobs, and more.
Would you like an example with Singleton binding or interface-based dependency injection?
