To automatically call a service in Symfony 4, you can make use of Symfony's autowiring and autoloading features. Follow these steps:
- Create a new service class: Create a new class that will serve as your service. This class should contain the logic you want to execute automatically. For example, let's say you want to send an email on every request:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
namespace AppService;
class EmailService
{
public function sendEmail()
{
// Logic to send an email
}
}
|
- Tag the service: In your service configuration (usually located in services.yaml), add a tags attribute to your service definition. This will allow Symfony to automatically call your service:
1 2 3 |
services:
AppServiceEmailService:
tags: ['kernel.event_listener']
|
- Implement the event listener: In the same service configuration file, add a new listener section to define the event listener:
1 2 3 4 5 |
services:
AppEventListenerEmailListener:
tags: ['kernel.event_listener']
arguments:
- '@AppServiceEmailService'
|
- Create the event listener: Create a new class to serve as your event listener. This class should implement the KernelEventListenerInterface and define a method to handle events:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 |
namespace AppEventListener;
use AppServiceEmailService;
use SymfonyComponentHttpKernelEventRequestEvent;
use SymfonyComponentHttpKernelKernelEvents;
use SymfonyComponentEventDispatcherEventSubscriberInterface;
class EmailListener implements EventSubscriberInterface
{
private $emailService;
public function __construct(EmailService $emailService)
{
$this->emailService = $emailService;
}
public function onKernelRequest(RequestEvent $event)
{
// Call your service method
$this->emailService->sendEmail();
}
public static function getSubscribedEvents()
{
return [
KernelEvents::REQUEST => 'onKernelRequest',
];
}
}
|
That's it! Now, whenever a request is made to your Symfony application, the sendEmail() method of your EmailService will be automatically called.
Note: Make sure to adjust the namespaces and service names according to your application's structure.
