How to access “service container” in Symfony2.
Dirty way, works anywhere:
global $kernel;
$serviceContainer = $kernel->getContainer()->get('any service you want');?
But most people says you should do it as service, which in my world is not always possible, especially using __construct injection.
This way as setContainer
MyService:
class: MyBundle\Command\MyCommand
calls:
- [setContainer, ["@service_container"] ]
Or this way as __construct injection
TaskScheduleUtility:
class: AppBundle\TaskScheduleEngineBundle\Helpers\TaskScheduleUtility
arguments: ["@doctrine.orm.entity_manager"]
You can also pass it from controller, always at your fingertips as
$this->container;
//Or better yet service container shortcut
$this->get();
