Symfony how autowire a class specifique? - php

Question

How can we have AutoWire active on calls in the 2nd child of the controller.
Here are different examples to explain my problem.
First exemple :
#Route("/user")
class UserControler extends AbstractController {
#Route("/", name="user_index", methods={"GET"})
public function index(UserRepository $userRepository) : Response {
if(!$userRepository instanceof UserRepository){
throw new Exception('is not instance of UserRepository');}
}
return new JsonResponse(['succes' => "test"]);
}
it's ok, i don't have problem here, the autowire has instantiate UserRepository
In this example, the Test1 class will be instantiated in the user controller, it takes a UserRepository in the contructor the auto wire will provide it
class Test1 {
public function __construct (UserRepository $userRepository) {
if(!$userRepository instanceof UserRepository) {
throw new Exception('is not instance of UserRepository');
}
}
}
-
class UserControler extends AbstractController {
#Route("/", name="user_index", methods={"GET"})
public function index(Test1 $test1 ) : Response {
return new JsonResponse(['succes' => "test"]);
}
None error trow, i have a instance of UserRepository, i can used it.
Now i want UserControler instanciate class Test1 and call method try().
The method try() instantiate the classe Test2 who need UserRepository in construtor.
class Test1 {
public function try() {
new Test2();
}
}
class Test2 {
public function __construct (UserRepository $userRepository) {
if(!$userRepository instanceof UserRepository) {
throw new Exception('is not instance of UserRepository');
}
}
}
-
class UserControler extends AbstractController {
#Route("/", name="user_index", methods={"GET"})
public function index(Test1 $test1 ) : Response {
return new JsonResponse(['succes' => "test"]);
}
Autowire not working here, is possible ?

Answer 1

In the Test1::try() method, you create an instance of the Test2 class manually, so automatic dependency injection does not work. In this case, you need to manually pass arguments when creating the class.
For example like this
class Test1 {
private UserRepository $userRepository;
public function __construct (UserRepository $userRepository) {
$this->userRepository = $userRepository;
}
public function try() {
new Test2($this->userRepository);
}
}
Or you can make automatic dependency injection work:
class Test1 {
public function __construct (Test2 $test2) {
// do something with Test2
}
}
