Description

Service locator - is a design pattern used for convenient handling of application services. You can find more details in this article.

Idea of service patten is designed to use special object (service locator) that will be responsible for creating and locating services instead of creating specific services directly (via "new"). It's a kind of a register.

Class \Bitrix\Main\DI\ServiceLocator implements the interface PSR-11. Available from main version 20.5.400.

Simple example of use:

$serviceLocator = \Bitrix\Main\DI\ServiceLocator::getInstance();

if ($serviceLocator->has('someService'))
{
    $someService = $serviceLocator->get('someService');
    //...$someService service use
}

Service registration

Service registration via bitrix/.settings.php files

Before querying the service, register it, using .settings.php files. All the necessary services are listed in the services section.

 [
        'value' => [
            'someServiceName' => [
                'className' => \VendorName\Services\SomeService::class,
            ],                      
            'someGoodServiceName' => [
                'className' => \VendorName\Services\SecondService::class,
                'constructorParams' => ['foo', 'bar'],
            ],                      
        ],
        'readonly' => true,
      ],
      //...
   ];            

As a result, these services will be available immediately after kernel is initialized. Below you can read about the available service describing methods.

$serviceLocator = \Bitrix\Main\DI\ServiceLocator::getInstance();
$someGoodServiceName = $serviceLocator->get('someGoodServiceName');
$someServiceName = $serviceLocator->get('someServiceName');

Service registration has been performed via the {moduleName}/.settings.php module setting files

Module root directory can also contain the .settings.php file. It can contain service descriptions belonging to this module and are used in it. Semantics is similar to description in the global bitrix/.settings.php and config description rules.

 [
        'value' => [
            'someModule.someServiceName' => [
                'className' => \VendorName\SomeModule\Services\SomeService::class,
            ],                      
            'someModule.someAnotherServiceName' => [
                'constructor' => static function () {
                    return new \VendorName\SomeModule\Services\SecondService('foo', 'bar');
                },
            ],                      
            'someModule.someGoodServiceName' => [
                'className' => \VendorName\SomeModule\Services\SecondService::class,
                'constructorParams' => static function (){
                    return ['foo', 'bar'];
                },
            ],                      
        ],
        'readonly' => true,
      ],
      //...
   ];
Attention! These services will be registered only after module is connected. Also, it is recommended to name module services by using module name prefix, to avoid duplicate service codes, for example:
 iblock.imageUploader
    disk.urlManager
    crm.entityManager
    crm.urlManager
    someModule.urlManager.

Registering service via API

Services can be registered via API as well. Use the class methods \Bitrix\Main\DI\ServiceLocator

Service configuration

Configuration is described as an array and prompts service locator a method for creating an object. Presently, there are three description methods:

  1. Indication of service class. Service locator creates the service by calling new $className.
     'someModule.someServiceName' => [
                'className' => \VendorName\SomeModule\Services\SomeService::class,
            ]
  2. Indicating service class and parameters to be passed into constructor. Service locator creates a service by calling new $className('foo', 'bar').
    'someModule.someServiceName' => [
                'className' => \VendorName\SomeModule\Services\SomeService::class,
                'constructorParams' => ['foo', 'bar'],
            ]                      
    
            'someModule.someServiceName' => [
                'className' => \VendorName\SomeModule\Services\SomeService::class,
                'constructorParams' => static function (){
                   return ['foo', 'bar'];
                },
            ]
  3. Indicating closure-constructor that create and return service object.
     'someModule.someAnotherServiceName' => [
                'constructor' => static function () {
                    return new \VendorName\SomeModule\Services\SecondService('foo', 'bar');
                },
            ]
