<p>All of the classes within CodeIgniter are provided as &#8220;services&#8221;. This simply means that, instead
of hard-coding a class name to load, the classes to call are defined within a very simple
configuration file. This file acts as a type of factory to create new instances of the required class.</p>
<p>A quick example will probably make things clearer, so imagine that you need to pull in an instance
of the Timer class. The simplest method would simply be to create a new instance of that class:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$timer</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">new</span> <span class="nx">\CodeIgniter\Debug\Timer</span><span class="p">();</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>And this works great. Until you decide that you want to use a different timer class in its place.
Maybe this one has some advanced reporting the default timer does not provide. In order to do this,
you now have to locate all of the locations in your application that you have used the timer class.
Since you might have left them in place to keep a performance log of your application constantly
running, this might be a time-consuming and error-prone way to handle this. That&#8217;s where services
come in handy.</p>
<p>Instead of creating the instance ourself, we let a central class create an instance of the
class for us. This class is kept very simple. It only contains a method for each class that we want
to use as a service. The method typically returns a shared instance of that class, passing any dependencies
it might have into it. Then, we would replace our timer creation code with code that calls this new class:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$timer</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nx">\Config\Services</span><span class="o">::</span><span class="na">timer</span><span class="p">();</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>When you need to change the implementation used, you can modify the services configuration file, and
the change happens automatically throughout your application without you having to do anything. Now
you just need to take advantage of any new functionality and you&#8217;re good to go. Very simple and
error-resistant.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">It is recommended to only create services within controllers. Other files, like models and libraries should have the dependencies either passed into the constructor or through a setter method.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="convenience-functions">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id2">Convenience Functions</a><a class="headerlink" href="#convenience-functions" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>Two functions have been provided for getting a service. These functions are always available.</p>
<p>The first is <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">service()</span></code> which returns a new instance of the requested service. The only
required parameter is the service name. This is the same as the method name within the Services
file always returns a SHARED instance of the class, so calling the function multiple times should
always return the same instance:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$logger</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nx">service</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;logger&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If the creation method requires additional parameters, they can be passed after the service name:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$renderer</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nx">service</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;renderer&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nx">APPPATH</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="s1">&#39;views/&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The second function, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">single_service()</span></code> works just like <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">service()</span></code> but returns a new instance of
the class:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$logger</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nx">single_service</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;logger&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="defining-services">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id3">Defining Services</a><a class="headerlink" href="#defining-services" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>To make services work well, you have to be able to rely on each class having a constant API, or
<a class="reference external" href="http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.interfaces.php">interface</a>, to use. Almost all of
CodeIgniter&#8217;s classes provide an interface that they adhere to. When you want to extend or replace
core classes, you only need to ensure you meet the requirements of the interface and you know that
the classes are compatible.</p>
<p>For example, the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">RouterCollection</span></code> class implements the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">RouterCollectionInterface</span></code>. When you
want to create a replacement that provides a different way to create routes, you just need to
create a new class that implements the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">RouterCollectionInterface</span></code>:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">MyRouter</span> <span class="k">implements</span> <span class="nx">\CodeIgniter\Router\RouteCollectionInterface</span>
<span class="p">{</span>
<span class="c1">// Implement required methods here.</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Finally, modify <strong>/app/Config/Services.php</strong> to create a new instance of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">MyRouter</span></code>
instead of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">CodeIgniter\Router\RouterCollection</span></code>:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">public</span> <span class="k">static</span> <span class="k">function</span> <span class="nf">routes</span><span class="p">()</span>
<span class="p">{</span>
<span class="k">return</span> <span class="k">new</span> <span class="nx">\App\Router\MyRouter</span><span class="p">();</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="allowing-parameters">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id4">Allowing Parameters</a><a class="headerlink" href="#allowing-parameters" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>In some instances, you will want the option to pass a setting to the class during instantiation.
Since the services file is a very simple class, it is easy to make this work.</p>
<p>A good example is the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">renderer</span></code> service. By default, we want this class to be able
to find the views at <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">APPPATH.views/</span></code>. We want the developer to have the option of
changing that path, though, if their needs require it. So the class accepts the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$viewPath</span></code>
as a constructor parameter. The service method looks like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">public</span> <span class="k">static</span> <span class="k">function</span> <span class="nf">renderer</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$viewPath</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="nx">APPPATH</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="s1">&#39;views/&#39;</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="p">{</span>
<span class="k">return</span> <span class="k">new</span> <span class="nx">\CodeIgniter\View\View</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$viewPath</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This sets the default path in the constructor method, but allows for easily changing
the path it uses:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$renderer</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nx">\Config\Services</span><span class="o">::</span><span class="na">renderer</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;/shared/views&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="shared-classes">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5">Shared Classes</a><a class="headerlink" href="#shared-classes" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>There are occasions where you need to require that only a single instance of a service
is created. This is easily handled with the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">getSharedInstance()</span></code> method that is called from within the
factory method. This handles checking if an instance has been created and saved
within the class, and, if not, creates a new one. All of the factory methods provide a
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$getShared</span> <span class="pre">=</span> <span class="pre">true</span></code> value as the last parameter. You should stick to the method also:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">Services</span>
<span class="p">{</span>
<span class="k">public</span> <span class="k">static</span> <span class="k">function</span> <span class="nf">routes</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$getShared</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">false</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="p">{</span>
<span class="k">if</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="o">!</span> <span class="nv">$getShared</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="p">{</span>
<span class="k">return</span> <span class="k">new</span> <span class="nx">\CodeIgniter\Router\RouteCollection</span><span class="p">();</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
<span class="k">return</span> <span class="k">static</span><span class="o">::</span><span class="na">getSharedInstance</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;routes&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="service-discovery">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id6">Service Discovery</a><a class="headerlink" href="#service-discovery" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>CodeIgniter can automatically discover any ConfigServices.php files you may have created within any defined namespaces.
This allows simple use of any module Services files. In order for custom Services files to be discovered, they must
meet these requirements:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>It&#8217;s namespace must be defined <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Config\Autoload.php</span></code></li>
<li>Inside the namespace, the file must be found at <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Config\Services.php</span></code></li>
<li>It must extend <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">CodeIgniter\Config\BaseService</span></code></li>
</ul>
<p>A small example should clarify this.</p>
<p>Imagine that you&#8217;ve created a new directory, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Blog</span></code> in your root directory. This will hold a blog module with controllers,
models, etc, and you&#8217;d like to make some of the classes available as a service. The first step is to create a new file:
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Blog\Config\Services.php</span></code>. The skeleton of the file should be:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">&lt;?</span><span class="nx">php</span> <span class="k">namespace</span> <span class="nx">Blog\Config</span><span class="p">;</span>
<span class="k">use</span> <span class="nx">CodeIgniter\Config\BaseService</span><span class="p">;</span>
<span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">Services</span> <span class="k">extends</span> <span class="nx">BaseService</span>
<span class="p">{</span>
<span class="k">public</span> <span class="k">static</span> <span class="k">function</span> <span class="nf">postManager</span><span class="p">()</span>
<span class="p">{</span>
<span class="o">...</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Now you can use this file as described above. When you want to grab the posts service from any controller, you
would simply use the framework&#8217;s <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Config\Services</span></code> class to grab your service:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$postManager</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nx">Config\Services</span><span class="o">::</span><span class="na">postManager</span><span class="p">();</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">If multiple Services file have the same method name, the first one found will be the instance returned.</p>
