ServiceLocator implements a service locator.

To use ServiceLocator, you first need to register component IDs with the corresponding component definitions with the locator by calling set() or setComponents(). You can then call get() to retrieve a component with the specified ID. The locator will automatically instantiate and configure the component according to the definition.

For example,

$locator = new \yii\di\ServiceLocator;
$locator->setComponents([
    'db' => [
        'class' => 'yii\db\Connection',
        'dsn' => 'sqlite:path/to/file.db',
    ],
    'cache' => [
        'class' => 'yii\caching\DbCache',
        'db' => 'db',
    ],
]);

$db = $locator->get('db');  // or $locator->db
$cache = $locator->get('cache');  // or $locator->cache

Because yii\base\Module extends from ServiceLocator, modules and the application are all service locators. Modules add tree traversal for service resolution.

For more details and usage information on ServiceLocator, see the guide article on service locators.

public array $components null

Method Details

Hide inherited methods

__call() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::__call()

Calls the named method which is not a class method.

This method will check if any attached behavior has the named method and will execute it if available.

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when an unknown method is being invoked.

public mixed __call ( $name, $params )
$name string

The method name

$params array

Method parameters

return mixed

The method return value

throws yii\base\UnknownMethodException

when calling unknown method

                public function __call($name, $params)
{
    $this->ensureBehaviors();
    foreach ($this->_behaviors as $object) {
        if ($object->hasMethod($name)) {
            return call_user_func_array([$object, $name], $params);
        }
    }
    throw new UnknownMethodException('Calling unknown method: ' . get_class($this) . "::$name()");
}

            
__clone() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::__clone()

This method is called after the object is created by cloning an existing one.

It removes all behaviors because they are attached to the old object.

public void __clone ( )

                public function __clone()
{
    $this->_events = [];
    $this->_eventWildcards = [];
    $this->_behaviors = null;
}

            
__construct() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__construct()

Constructor.

The default implementation does two things:

  • Initializes the object with the given configuration $config.
  • Call init().

If this method is overridden in a child class, it is recommended that

  • the last parameter of the constructor is a configuration array, like $config here.
  • call the parent implementation at the end of the constructor.
public void __construct ( $config = [] )
$config array

Name-value pairs that will be used to initialize the object properties

                public function __construct($config = [])
{
    if (!empty($config)) {
        Yii::configure($this, $config);
    }
    $this->init();
}

            
__get() public method

Getter magic method.

This method is overridden to support accessing components like reading properties.

public mixed __get ( $name )
$name string

Component or property name

return mixed

The named property value

                public function __get($name)
{
    if ($this->has($name)) {
        return $this->get($name);
    }
    return parent::__get($name);
}

            
__isset() public method

Checks if a property value is null.

This method overrides the parent implementation by checking if the named component is loaded.

public boolean __isset ( $name )
$name string

The property name or the event name

return boolean

Whether the property value is null

                public function __isset($name)
{
    if ($this->has($name)) {
        return true;
    }
    return parent::__isset($name);
}

            
__set() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::__set()

Sets the value of a component property.

This method will check in the following order and act accordingly:

  • a property defined by a setter: set the property value
  • an event in the format of "on xyz": attach the handler to the event "xyz"
  • a behavior in the format of "as xyz": attach the behavior named as "xyz"
  • a property of a behavior: set the behavior property value

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing $component->property = $value;.

See also __get().

public void __set ( $name, $value )
$name string

The property name or the event name

$value mixed

The property value

throws yii\base\UnknownPropertyException

if the property is not defined

throws yii\base\InvalidCallException

if the property is read-only.

                public function __set($name, $value)
{
    $setter = 'set' . $name;
    if (method_exists($this, $setter)) {
        // set property
        $this->$setter($value);
        return;
    } elseif (strncmp($name, 'on ', 3) === 0) {
        // on event: attach event handler
        $this->on(trim(substr($name, 3)), $value);
        return;
    } elseif (strncmp($name, 'as ', 3) === 0) {
        // as behavior: attach behavior
        $name = trim(substr($name, 3));
        $this->attachBehavior($name, $value instanceof Behavior ? $value : Yii::createObject($value));
        return;
    }
    // behavior property
    $this->ensureBehaviors();
    foreach ($this->_behaviors as $behavior) {
        if ($behavior->canSetProperty($name)) {
            $behavior->$name = $value;
            return;
        }
    }
    if (method_exists($this, 'get' . $name)) {
        throw new InvalidCallException('Setting read-only property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
    }
    throw new UnknownPropertyException('Setting unknown property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
}

            
__unset() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::__unset()

Sets a component property to be null.

This method will check in the following order and act accordingly:

  • a property defined by a setter: set the property value to be null
  • a property of a behavior: set the property value to be null

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing unset($component->property).

See also https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unset.php.

public void __unset ( $name )
$name string

The property name

throws yii\base\InvalidCallException

if the property is read only.

                public function __unset($name)
{
    $setter = 'set' . $name;
    if (method_exists($this, $setter)) {
        $this->$setter(null);
        return;
    }
    // behavior property
    $this->ensureBehaviors();
    foreach ($this->_behaviors as $behavior) {
        if ($behavior->canSetProperty($name)) {
            $behavior->$name = null;
            return;
        }
    }
    throw new InvalidCallException('Unsetting an unknown or read-only property: ' . get_class($this) . '::' . $name);
}

            
attachBehavior() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::attachBehavior()

Attaches a behavior to this component.

This method will create the behavior object based on the given configuration. After that, the behavior object will be attached to this component by calling the yii\base\Behavior::attach() method.

See also detachBehavior().

public yii\base\Behavior attachBehavior ( $name, $behavior )
$name string

The name of the behavior.

$behavior string|array|yii\base\Behavior

The behavior configuration. This can be one of the following:

return yii\base\Behavior

The behavior object

                public function attachBehavior($name, $behavior)
{
    $this->ensureBehaviors();
    return $this->attachBehaviorInternal($name, $behavior);
}

            
attachBehaviors() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::attachBehaviors()

Attaches a list of behaviors to the component.

Each behavior is indexed by its name and should be a yii\base\Behavior object, a string specifying the behavior class, or an configuration array for creating the behavior.

See also attachBehavior().

public void attachBehaviors ( $behaviors )
$behaviors array

List of behaviors to be attached to the component

                public function attachBehaviors($behaviors)
{
    $this->ensureBehaviors();
    foreach ($behaviors as $name => $behavior) {
        $this->attachBehaviorInternal($name, $behavior);
    }
}

            
behaviors() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::behaviors()

Returns a list of behaviors that this component should behave as.

Child classes may override this method to specify the behaviors they want to behave as.

The return value of this method should be an array of behavior objects or configurations indexed by behavior names. A behavior configuration can be either a string specifying the behavior class or an array of the following structure:

'behaviorName' => [
    'class' => 'BehaviorClass',
    'property1' => 'value1',
    'property2' => 'value2',
]

Note that a behavior class must extend from yii\base\Behavior. Behaviors can be attached using a name or anonymously. When a name is used as the array key, using this name, the behavior can later be retrieved using getBehavior() or be detached using detachBehavior(). Anonymous behaviors can not be retrieved or detached.

Behaviors declared in this method will be attached to the component automatically (on demand).

public array behaviors ( )
return array

The behavior configurations.

                public function behaviors()
{
    return [];
}

            
canGetProperty() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::canGetProperty()

Returns a value indicating whether a property can be read.

A property can be read if:

  • the class has a getter method associated with the specified name (in this case, property name is case-insensitive);
  • the class has a member variable with the specified name (when $checkVars is true);
  • an attached behavior has a readable property of the given name (when $checkBehaviors is true).

        return true;
    } elseif ($checkBehaviors) {
        $this->ensureBehaviors();
        foreach ($this->_behaviors as $behavior) {
            if ($behavior->canGetProperty($name, $checkVars)) {
                return true;
            }

    return false;
}

            
canSetProperty() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::canSetProperty()

on() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::on()

Attaches an event handler to an event.

The event handler must be a valid PHP callback. The following are some examples:

function ($event) { ... }         // anonymous function
[$object, 'handleClick']          // $object->handleClick()
['Page', 'handleClick']           // Page::handleClick()
'handleClick'                     // global function handleClick()

The event handler must be defined with the following signature,

function ($event)

where $event is an yii\base\Event object which includes parameters associated with the event.

Since 2.0.14 you can specify event name as a wildcard pattern:

$component->on('event.group.*', function ($event) {
    Yii::trace($event->name . ' is triggered.');
});

See also off().

public void on ( $name, $handler, $data null, $append true )
$name string

The event name

$handler callable

The event handler

$data mixed

The data to be passed to the event handler when the event is triggered. When the event handler is invoked, this data can be accessed via yii\base\Event::$data.

$append boolean

Whether to append new event handler to the end of the existing handler list. If false, the new handler will be inserted at the beginning of the existing handler list.

                public function on($name, $handler, $data = null, $append = true)
{
    $this->ensureBehaviors();
    if (strpos($name, '*') !== false) {
        if ($append || empty($this->_eventWildcards[$name])) {
            $this->_eventWildcards[$name][] = [$handler, $data];
        } else {
            array_unshift($this->_eventWildcards[$name], [$handler, $data]);
        }
        return;
    }
    if ($append || empty($this->_events[$name])) {
        $this->_events[$name][] = [$handler, $data];
    } else {
        array_unshift($this->_events[$name], [$handler, $data]);
    }
}

            
set() public method

Registers a component definition with this locator.

For example,

// a class name
$locator->set('cache', 'yii\caching\FileCache');

// a configuration array
$locator->set('db', [
    'class' => 'yii\db\Connection',
    'dsn' => 'mysql:host=127.0.0.1;dbname=demo',
    'username' => 'root',
    'password' => '',
    'charset' => 'utf8',
]);

// an anonymous function
$locator->set('cache', function ($params) {
    return new \yii\caching\FileCache;
});

// an instance
$locator->set('cache', new \yii\caching\FileCache);

If a component definition with the same ID already exists, it will be overwritten.

public void set ( $id, $definition )
$id string

Component ID (e.g. db).

$definition mixed

The component definition to be registered with this locator. It can be one of the following:

  • a class name
  • a configuration array: the array contains name-value pairs that will be used to initialize the property values of the newly created object when get() is called. The class element is required and stands for the the class of the object to be created.
  • a PHP callable: either an anonymous function or an array representing a class method (e.g. ['Foo', 'bar']). The callable will be called by get() to return an object associated with the specified component ID.
  • an object: When get() is called, this object will be returned.
throws yii\base\InvalidConfigException

if the definition is an invalid configuration array

                public function set($id, $definition)
{
    unset($this->_components[$id]);
    if ($definition === null) {
        unset($this->_definitions[$id]);
        return;
    }
    if (is_object($definition) || is_callable($definition, true)) {
        // an object, a class name, or a PHP callable
        $this->_definitions[$id] = $definition;
    } elseif (is_array($definition)) {
        // a configuration array
        if (isset($definition['__class'])) {
            $this->_definitions[$id] = $definition;
            $this->_definitions[$id]['class'] = $definition['__class'];
            unset($this->_definitions[$id]['__class']);
        } elseif (isset($definition['class'])) {
            $this->_definitions[$id] = $definition;
        } else {
            throw new InvalidConfigException("The configuration for the \"$id\" component must contain a \"class\" element.");
        }
    } else {
        throw new InvalidConfigException("Unexpected configuration type for the \"$id\" component: " . gettype($definition));
    }
}

            
setComponents() public method

Registers a set of component definitions in this locator.

This is the bulk version of set(). The parameter should be an array whose keys are component IDs and values the corresponding component definitions.

For more details on how to specify component IDs and definitions, please refer to set().

If a component definition with the same ID already exists, it will be overwritten.

The following is an example for registering two component definitions:

[
    'db' => [
        'class' => 'yii\db\Connection',
        'dsn' => 'sqlite:path/to/file.db',
    ],
    'cache' => [
        'class' => 'yii\caching\DbCache',
        'db' => 'db',
    ],
]
public void setComponents ( $components )
$components array

Component definitions or instances

                public function setComponents($components)
{
    foreach ($components as $id => $component) {
        $this->set($id, $component);
    }
}

            
trigger() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::trigger()

Triggers an event.

This method represents the happening of an event. It invokes all attached handlers for the event including class-level handlers.

public void trigger ( $name, yii\base\Event $event null )
$name string

The event name

$event yii\base\Event|null

The event instance. If not set, a default yii\base\Event object will be created.

                public function trigger($name, Event $event = null)
{
    $this->ensureBehaviors();
    $eventHandlers = [];
    foreach ($this->_eventWildcards as $wildcard => $handlers) {
        if (StringHelper::matchWildcard($wildcard, $name)) {
            $eventHandlers[] = $handlers;
        }
    }
    if (!empty($this->_events[$name])) {
        $eventHandlers[] = $this->_events[$name];
    }
    if (!empty($eventHandlers)) {
        $eventHandlers = call_user_func_array('array_merge', $eventHandlers);
        if ($event === null) {
            $event = new Event();
        }
        if ($event->sender === null) {
            $event->sender = $this;
        }
        $event->handled = false;
        $event->name = $name;
        foreach ($eventHandlers as $handler) {
            $event->data = $handler[1];
            call_user_func($handler[0], $event);
            // stop further handling if the event is handled
            if ($event->handled) {
                return;
            }
        }
    }
    // invoke class-level attached handlers
    Event::trigger($this, $name, $event);
}
