How to inject a repository into a service in Symfony?
Here is a cleaned up solution for those coming from Google like me:
Update: here is the Symfony 2.6 (and up) solution:
services:
myrepository:
class: Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository
factory: ["@doctrine.orm.entity_manager", getRepository]
arguments:
- MyBundle\Entity\MyClass
myservice:
class: MyBundle\Service\MyService
arguments:
- "@myrepository"
Deprecated solution (Symfony 2.5 and less):
services:
myrepository:
class: Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository
factory_service: doctrine.orm.entity_manager
factory_method: getRepository
arguments:
- MyBundle\Entity\MyClass
myservice:
class: MyBundle\Service\MyService
arguments:
- "@myrepository"
I found this link and this worked for me:
parameters:
image_repository.class: Mycompany\MainBundle\Repository\ImageRepository
image_repository.factory_argument: 'MycompanyMainBundle:Image'
image_manager.class: Mycompany\MainBundle\Service\Image\ImageManager
image_manipulator.class: Mycompany\MainBundle\Service\Image\ImageManipulator
services:
image_manager:
class: %image_manager.class%
arguments:
- @image_manipulator
- @image_repository
image_repository:
class: %image_repository.class%
factory_service: doctrine.odm.mongodb
factory_method: getRepository
arguments:
- %image_repository.factory_argument%
image_manipulator:
class: %image_manipulator.class%
In case if do not want to define each repository as a service, starting from version 2.4
you can do following, (default
is a name of the entity manager):
@=service('doctrine.orm.default_entity_manager').getRepository('MycompanyMainBundle:Image')
