Facades for Symfony services
============================

[](#facades-for-symfony-services)

With this package, Symfony services can be called using facades, with static method syntax.

It is a simpler alternative to passing services as parameters in the constructors of other classes, or using lazy services. It will be especially interesting in the case when a class depends on many services, but calls each of them only occasionally.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install the package with `composer`.

```
composer require marcbln/symfony-facades
```

If the project is not using Symfony Flex, then register the `Marcbln\Symfony\Facades\FacadesBundle` bundle in the `src/Kernel.php` file.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

A facade inherits from the `Marcbln\Symfony\Facades\AbstractFacade` abstract class, and implements the `getServiceIdentifier()` method, which returns the id of the corresponding service.

```
namespace App\Facades;

use App\Services\MyService;
use Marcbln\Symfony\Facades\AbstractFacade;

class MyFacade extends AbstractFacade
{
    /**
     * @inheritDoc
     */
    protected static function getServiceIdentifier()
    {
        return MyService::class;
    }
}
```

The methods of the `App\Services\MyService` service can now be called using the `App\Facades\MyFacade` facade, like this.

```
class TheService
{
    public function theMethod()
    {
        MyFacade::myMethod();
    }
}
```

Instead of this.

```
class TheService
{
    /**
     * @var MyService
     */
    protected $myService;

    public function __construct(MyService $myService)
    {
        $this->myService = $myService;
    }

    public function theMethod()
    {
        $this->myService->myMethod();
    }
}
```

Using a service locator
-----------------------

[](#using-a-service-locator)

The above facade will work only for services that are declared as public.

A service locator must be declared in the `config/services.yaml` file, in order to create facades for private services. See the [Symfony service locators documentation](https://symfony.com/doc/4.4/service_container/service_subscribers_locators.html).

In the following example, the `Twig` service is passed to the service locator.

```
    marcbln.facades.service_locator:
        public: true
        class: Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ServiceLocator
        tags: ['container.service_locator']
        arguments:
            -
                Twig\Environment: '@twig'
```

A facade can then be defined for the `Twig` service.

```
namespace App\Facades;

use Twig\Environment;
use Marcbln\Symfony\Facades\AbstractFacade;

class View extends AbstractFacade
{
    /**
     * @inheritdoc
     */
    protected static function getServiceIdentifier()
    {
        return Environment::class;
    }
}
```

Templates can now be rendered using the facade.

```
use App\Facades\View;

class TheService
{
    public function theMethod()
    {
        ...
        $html = View::render($template, $vars);
        ...
    }
}
```

Provided facades
----------------

[](#provided-facades)

This package provides facades for some Symfony services.

#### Logger

[](#logger)

The `logger` service must be passed to the service locator in the `config/services.yaml` file.

```
    marcbln.facades.service_locator:
        public: true
        class: Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ServiceLocator
        tags: ['container.service_locator']
        arguments:
            -
                Psr\Log\LoggerInterface: '@logger'
```

Messages can now be logged using the facade.

```
use Marcbln\Symfony\Facades\Log;

Log::info($message, $vars);
```

#### View

[](#view)

The `twig` service must be passed to the service locator in the `config/services.yaml` file.

```
    marcbln.facades.service_locator:
        public: true
        class: Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ServiceLocator
        tags: ['container.service_locator']
        arguments:
            -
                Twig\Environment: '@twig'
```

Views can now be rendered using the facade.

```
use Marcbln\Symfony\Facades\View;

$html = View::render($template, $vars);
```
