Services

Use service objects to implement functionality in your application. Services can depend on configuration or other services.

Registration

Wireup does not enforce a code structure. Services may live anywhere in the application but must be registered with the container. Top-level modules containing registrations must also be declared in the initialize_container call.

To register a class as a service you can use one of the following

• Decorate the class with @service.
• Call container.register(YourService) directly.

Lifetime

By default, the container will keep in memory only a single copy of each service. If you need to generate fresh instances every time a service is injected, then it needs to be registered with the lifetime parameter set to TRANSIENT.

Injection

Injection will be performed based on type hints. Most of the time no manual configuration is needed.

Tip

Refer to the documentation regarding Annotations for the exact details on when you need to explicitly annotate your dependencies.

Autowiring

To perform injection the method must be decorated with @container.autowire. This does not apply to services which do not need the autowire decorator.
