If you've used thelaravelframework, you've probably heard of service containers and service providers. In fact, they are the backbone of the Laravel framework and do all the heavy lifting when you launch an instance of any Laravel application.
In this article, we'll take a look at what the service container is, and then we'll talk in detail about the service provider. Throughout this article I will also demonstrate how to create a custom service provider in Laravel. After creating a service provider, you also need to register it in the Laravel app to use it, so we'll review that as well.
There are two important methods,to throw away
yCheck-in
, which your service provider may implement, and in the last segment of this article, we'll discuss both of these methods in depth.
Before we dive into the discussion of a service provider, I'll try to introduce you to the service container as it will be used a lot in your service provider implementation.
Understand service containers and service providers
What is a service container?
In simpler terms, we could say that the service container in Laravel is a box that contains the bindings of various components and are served as needed throughout the application.
In the words of the official Laravel documentation:
The Laravel Service Container is a powerful tool for managing class dependencies and performing dependency injection.
So whenever you need to inject some built-in component or service, you can write a hint in your constructor or method and it will be injected automatically from the service container as it contains everything you need! That's not cool? Saves manual instantiation of components and therefore avoids tight coupling in your code.
Let's take a look at a quick example to understand it.
1 | Class a type of |
2 | { |
3 | public Occupation __Build(FooBar $foobarObjeto) |
4 | { |
5 | // an object $foobarObject |
6 | } |
7 | } |
As you can see, thea type of
need an instance ofFooBar
instantiate itself. So basically you have a dependency that needs to be injected. Laravel does this automatically by looking at the service container and injecting the appropriate dependency.
And if you're wondering how Laravel knows which components or services to include in the service container, the answer is the service provider. It's the service provider that tells Laravel to link various components in the service container. It's actually called service container bindings and you have to do this through your service provider.
Therefore, it is the service provider that registers all bindings for the service container, and this is done through the service provider implementation's registration method.
This should raise another question: how does Laravel know about multiple service providers? Maybe you think Laravel should figure this out automatically too? Unfortunately, this is something you must explicitly tell Laravel.
Go ahead and see the contents of theconfig/application.phpprocess. You'll find an array entry that lists all the service providers your app can use.
1 | 'Providers' => [ |

Starting in the next section, we'll focus on the service provider, which is the main topic of this article.
What is a service provider?
If the service container is something that lets you define bindings and inject dependencies, the service provider is where those dependencies are defined.
Let's take a quick look at one of the top service providers to understand what they do. Go ahead and open thevender/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Cache/CacheServiceProvider.phpoffice hour.
1 | <?php |
2 | |
3 | namespace Illuminate\Cache; |
4 | |
5 | use Illuminate\Contracts\Support\DeferrableProvider; |
6 | use Illuminate\Support\Service Provider; |
7 | use Symfony\Component\Cache\Adapter\Psr16Adapter; |
8 | |
9 | class CacheServiceProvider extends service provider implements deferrable provider |
10 | { |
11 | /** |
12 | * Register the service provider. |
13 | * |
14 | * @null returns |
15 | */ |
sixteen | public Occupation Check-in() |
17 | { |
18 | $is->app->single('cache', Occupation ($application) { |
19 | return novo Cache Manager($application); |
20 | }); |
21 | |
22 | $is->app->single('cache.store', Occupation ($application) { |
23 | return $application['cache']->conductor(); |
24 | }); |
25 | |
26 | $is->app->single('hidden.psr6', Occupation ($application) { |
27 | return novo psr16 adapter($application['cache.store']); |
28 | }); |
29 | |
30 | $is->app->single('memcached.conector', Occupation () { |
31 | return novo Conector Memcached; |
32 | }); |
33 | } |
34 | |
35 | /** |
36 | * Get the services provided by the provider. |
37 | * |
38 | * Matriz @return |
39 | */ |
40 | public Occupation provides() |
41 | { |
42 | return [ |
43 | 'cache', 'cache.store', 'hidden.psr6', 'memcached.conector', |
44 | ]; |
45 | } |
46 | } |
The important thing to note here is theCheck-in
method, which lets you define service container associations. As you can see there are four links to thecache
,cache.store
,hidden.psr6
, youmemcached.conector
Services.
Basically, we are telling Laravel that whenever it needs to resolve acache
input, it should return the instance ofCache Manager
. So we are just adding a type of mapping in the service container which can be accessed via$this->application
.
This is the correct way to add any service to a Laravel service container. This also gives you an overview of how Laravel goes through the registration method of all service providers and populates the service container! And as we mentioned before, it collects the list of service providers fromconfig/application.phpoffice hour.
And that's the story of the service provider. In the next section, we'll discuss how to create a custom service provider so that you can register your custom services in the Laravel service container.
1.Create a custom service provider
Laravel comes with a handy command-line tool,Craftsman
, which lets you create template code so you don't have to create it from scratch. Go to the command line and run the following command at the root of your application to create a custom service provider.
1 | $phpCreated: Provider EnvatoCustomServiceProvider |
2 | Provider successfully created. |
And that should create the file.EnvatoCustomServiceProvider.phpUnder theapplication/providersdirectory. Open the file to see what it contains.
1 | <?php |
2 | |
3 | namespace Application\Suppliers; |
4 | |
5 | use Illuminate\Support\Service Provider; |
6 | |
7 | class EnvatoCustomServiceProvider extends service provider |
8 | { |
9 | /** |
10 | * Service registration. |
11 | * |
12 | * @null returns |
13 | */ |
14 | public Occupation Check-in() |
15 | { |
sixteen | // |
17 | } |
18 | |
19 | /** |
20 | * Startup services. |
21 | * |
22 | * @null returns |
23 | */ |
24 | public Occupation to throw away() |
25 | { |
26 | // |
27 | } |
28 | } |
As we mentioned earlier, there are two methods,Check-in
yto throw away
, which you will be dealing with most of the time when working with your custom service provider.
HimCheck-in
The method is where you define all the custom service container bindings. On the other hand, theto throw away
The method is the place where you can consume services already registered through the registration method. In the last segment of this article, we will discuss these two methods in detail as we will look at some practical use cases to understand the usage of both methods.
2.Register your custom service provider
So you've created your custom service provider. This is awesome! Next, you need to tell Laravel about your custom service provider so that it can load it along with other service providers at boot time.
To register your service provider, simply add an entry to the service provider matrix in the fieldconfig/application.phpprocess. Add the following line toproviders
formation:
1 | App\Providers\EnvatoCustomServiceProvider::class, |
And that's it: you have registered your service provider in Laravel! But the service provider we created is almost a blank template and has no use at this time. In the next section, we'll look at some practical examples to see what you can do withCheck-in
yto throw away
methods.
3.create theCheck-in
yto throw away
Methods
To begin with, we will analyze theCheck-in
method to understand how it could actually be used. Open the service provider fileapp/Proveedores/EnvatoCustomServiceProvider.phpthat was created above and replace the existing code with the following.
1 | <?php |
2 | namespace Application\Suppliers; |
3 | |
4 | use Illuminate\Support\Service Provider; |
5 | use Application\Library\Services\DemoOne; |
6 | |
7 | class EnvatoCustomServiceProvider extends service provider |
8 | { |
9 | public Occupation to throw away() |
10 | { |
11 | } |
12 | |
13 | public Occupation Check-in() |
14 | { |
15 | $is->app->join('Application\Library\Services\DemoOne', Occupation ($application) { |
sixteen | return novo DemoOne(); |
17 | }); |
18 | } |
19 | } |
There are two important things to note here:
- we matter
Application\Library\Services\DemoOne
so we can use it. HimDemoOne
the class hasn't been created yet, but we'll do that in a moment. - In the registration method, we use the
join
service container method to add our service container binding. So while theApplication\Library\Services\DemoOne
the dependency needs to be resolved, it will call the closing function and create an instance and return theApplication\Library\Services\DemoOne
object.
So you just need to create theapplication/Library/Services/DemoOne.phpfile for this to work.
1 | <?php |
2 | namespace Application\Library\Services; |
3 | |
4 | class DemoOne |
5 | { |
6 | public Occupation do something useful() |
7 | { |
8 | return 'Saída DemoOne'; |
9 | } |
10 | } |
And here is the code somewhere in your controller where the dependency will be injected.
1 | <?php |
2 | namespace Application\Http\Controllers; |
3 | |
4 | use Application\Http\Controllers\Controller; |
5 | use Application\Library\Services\DemoOne; |
6 | |
7 | class test driver extends Controller |
8 | { |
9 | public Occupation index(DemoOne $customServiceInstance) |
10 | { |
11 | eco $customServiceInstance->do something useful(); |
12 | } |
13 | } |
This is a very simple example of binding a class. In fact, in the example above, it is not necessary to create a service provider and implement theCheck-in
method like we did, as Laravel can resolve it automatically using reflection.
A very important note from the Laravel documentation:
You don't need to bind classes in the container if they don't depend on any interfaces. The container does not need to receive instructions on how to build these objects, as it can resolve them automatically through reflection.
On the other hand, it would be very useful if you bound an interface to a certain implementation. In the next section, we will see an example to understand it.
A real-world example of using service providers
Let's say you want to create a service that lets you authenticate users in a variety of ways. To start you would like to implement two adapters,JSON
yXML
, so you can pass credentials in the proper format to authenticate to your system. And later, you can connect more adapters for different formats as needed.
It is the perfect example of a Laravel service provider implementation as it allows you to implement multiple adapters for your service and then you can easily switch between different adapters.
To start, let's create a very simple interface inapplication/Library/Services/Contracts/AuthenticationServiceInterface.php.
1 | <?php |
2 | // application/Library/Services/Contracts/AuthenticationServiceInterface.php |
3 | namespace Application\Library\Services\Contracts; |
4 | |
5 | Interface authentication service interface |
6 | { |
7 | public Occupation authenticate($credentials); |
8 | } |
Next, let's create two concrete implementations of this interface. Basically, we just need to create two classes that extend theauthentication service interfaceInterface.
create theXmlAuthentication
class inapplication/Library/Services/XmlAuthentication.php.
1 | <?php |
2 | // application/Library/Services/XmlAuthentication.php |
3 | namespace Application\Library\Services; |
4 | |
5 | use Application\Library\Services\Contracts\AuthenticationServiceInterface; |
6 | |
7 | class XmlAuthentication implements authentication service interface |
8 | { |
9 | public Occupation authenticate($xmlData) |
10 | { |
11 | // parse the XML data received in $xmlData and authenticate with your db...happens here |
12 | return 'XML based authentication'; |
13 | } |
14 | } |
Likewise, theJsonAuthentication
the gang entersaplicación/Library/Servicios/JsonAuthentication.php.
1 | <?php |
2 | //application/Library/Servicios/JsonAuthentication.php |
3 | namespace Application\Library\Services; |
4 | |
5 | use Application\Library\Services\Contracts\AuthenticationServiceInterface; |
6 | |
7 | class JsonAuthentication implements authentication service interface |
8 | { |
9 | public Occupation authenticate($JsonData) |
10 | { |
11 | // parse the received JSON data into $JsonData and authenticate with your db...happens here |
12 | return 'Authentication based on JSON'; |
13 | } |
14 | } |
Now, instead of binding a class, we'll bind an interface. Check theEnvatoCustomServiceProvider.phpfile and change the code as shown below.
1 | <?php |
2 | |
3 | namespace Application\Suppliers; |
4 | |
5 | use Illuminate\Support\Service Provider; |
6 | use Application\Library\Services\JsonAuthentication; |
7 | |
8 | class EnvatoCustomServiceProvider extends service provider |
9 | { |
10 | /** |
11 | * Service registration. |
12 | * |
13 | * @null returns |
14 | */ |
15 | public Occupation Check-in() |
sixteen | { |
17 | $is->app->join('Application\Library\Services\Contracts\AuthenticationServiceInterface', Occupation ($application) { |
18 | return novo JsonAuthentication(); |
19 | }); |
20 | } |
21 | |
22 | /** |
23 | * Startup services. |
24 | * |
25 | * @null returns |
26 | */ |
27 | public Occupation to throw away() |
28 | { |
29 | // |
30 | } |
31 | } |
In this case, we tie theApplication\Library\Services\Contracts\AuthenticationServiceInterface
interface for theJsonAuthentication
Implementation. Therefore, whenever theApplication\Library\Services\Contracts\AuthenticationServiceInterface
the dependency needs to be resolved, instantiate and return theApplication\Library\Services\JsonAuthentication
object. Now it makes more sense, doesn't it?
Let's quickly review the controller code as well.
1 | <?php |
2 | namespace Application\Http\Controllers; |
3 | |
4 | use Application\Http\Controllers\Controller; |
5 | use Application\Library\Services\Contracts\AuthenticationServiceInterface; |
6 | |
7 | class AuthenticateController extends Controller |
8 | { |
9 | public Occupation index(authentication service interface $authenticationServiceInstance) |
10 | { |
11 | // Initialize $credentials by extracting it from the Request object here... |
12 | eco $authenticationServiceInstance->authenticate($credentials); |
13 | } |
14 | } |
As you might have guessed, the$autenticaciónServicioInterfaz
variable must be the instance ofApplication\Library\Services\JsonAuthentication
!
Before trying the above implementation, be sure to clear the caches with the following commands.
1 | php craft cache:clear |
2 | php craftsman setting: clear |
3 | clear compiled craftsman php |
Now when you run thehttps://your-laravel-url/authenticate/index
URL, you must print theJSON based authentication
message.
The beauty of this approach is that you can swap theJsonAuthentication
implementation with each other easily. Let's say you want to use theXmlAuthentication
implementation instead ofJsonAuthentication
. In that case, you just need to make the following changes to the service providerEnvatoCustomServiceProvider.phpoffice hour.
Locate the following line:
1 | use Application\Library\Services\JsonAuthentication; |
And replace with:
1 | use Application\Library\Services\XmlAuthentication; |
Likewise, find this:
1 | return novo JsonAuthentication(); |
This must be replaced with:
1 | return novo XmlAuthentication(); |
You can use the same approach if you want to replace any main implementation with your own. And it's not just himjoin
method you can use for your service container bindings; Laravel's service container provides several ways to link to the service container. Please check official Laraveldocumentationfor complete reference.
implement theto throw away
Method
The next candidate isto throw away
method, which you can use to extend Laravel's core functionality. In this method, you can access all services that have been registered using theCheck-in
service provider method. In most cases, you'll want to register your event listeners with this method, which will fire when something happens.
Let's take a look at some examples that require theto throw away
method implementation.
Let's say you want to add your own custom form field validator to Laravel.
1 | public Occupation to throw away() |
2 | { |
3 | validator::extensor('mi_custom_validator', Occupation ($attribute, $ valor, $parameters, $validator) { |
4 | // validation logic goes here... |
5 | }); |
6 | } |
If you want to register a show composer, this is the perfect place to do it! actually theto throw away
The method is often used to add view composers!
1 | public Occupation to throw away() |
2 | { |
3 | Vista::compositor( |
4 | 'demonstration', 'Aplicativo\Http\ViewComposers\DemoComposer' |
5 | ); |
6 | } |
Of course, you want to import a facade.Illuminate\Support\Facades\View
first at your service provider.
Similarly, you can also share the data across multiple views.
1 | public Occupation to throw away() |
2 | { |
3 | Vista::Share('key', 'valentia'); |
4 | } |
you can also useto throw away
to define explicit model bindings.
1 | public Occupation to throw away() |
2 | { |
3 | padre::to throw away(); |
4 | |
5 | rota::model('Username', Application\User::class); |
6 | } |
These are just a few examples to demonstrate the uses ofto throw away
method. The more you get into Laravel, the more reasons you'll find to implement it!
