Installation

Run:

php composer.phar require matthiasnoback/lazy-services-bundle 0.2.*

Then register the bundle in /app/AppKernel.php:

<?php

class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            // ...
            new Matthias\LazyServicesBundle\MatthiasLazyServicesBundle,
        );
    }
}

Usage

Lazy arguments

This bundle allows you to mark services as lazy by adding tags to arguments that refer to them:

<service id="some_service" class="...">
    <argument type="service" id="mailer" key="mailer" />
    <tag name="lazy_argument" key="mailer" />
</service>

The argument key can be a string (like in the example above), or a number, indicating the index of the argument (starting with 0):

<service id="some_service" class="...">
    <argument type="service" id="event_dispatcher" /><!-- key is 0 -->
    <argument type="service" id="mailer" /><!-- key is 1 -->
    <tag name="lazy_argument" key="1" />
</service>

Both examples will effectively convert the mailer service to a lazy-loading service.

When the referenced service does not exist, it will be skipped silently.

Lazy services by configuration

For your convenience, this bundle also allows you to mark services as lazy by adding its service id to a list of lazy services in your application configuration:

# in config.yml:

matthias_lazy_services:
    lazy_service_ids:
        - mailer
        - ...

When the referenced service does not exist, it will be skipped silently.
