Annotations

@Inject

This marks a property, or parameter for injection:

<?php

use JMS\DiExtraBundle\Annotation\Inject;

class Controller
{
    /**
     * @Inject("security.context", required = false)
     */
    private $securityContext;

    /**
     * @Inject("request", strict = false)
     */
    private $request;

    /**
     * @Inject("%kernel.cache_dir%")
     */
    private $cacheDir;

    /**
     * @Inject
     */
    private $session;
}

If you do not specify the service explicitly, we will try to guess it based on the name of the property or the parameter.

Tip: The “strict” option can be passed to false to avoid exceptions of type Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Exception\ScopeCrossingInjectionException, if the scope of the injected service is different than the current one (for example request, or prototype).

@InjectParams

This marks the parameters of a method for injection:

<?php

use JMS\DiExtraBundle\Annotation\Inject;
use JMS\DiExtraBundle\Annotation\InjectParams;
use JMS\DiExtraBundle\Annotation\Service;

/**
 * @Service
 */
class Listener
{
    /**
     * @InjectParams({
     *     "em" = @Inject("doctrine.entity_manager")
     * })
     */
    public function __construct(EntityManager $em, Session $session)
    {
        // ...
    }
}

If you don’t define all parameters in the param map, we will try to guess which services should be injected into the remaining parameters based on their name.

@Service

Marks a class as service:

<?php

use JMS\DiExtraBundle\Annotation\Service;

/**
 * @Service("some.service.id", parent="another.service.id", public=false)
 */
class Listener
{
}

If you do not explicitly define a service id, then we will generated a sensible default based on the fully qualified class name for you.

@Tag

Adds a tag to the service:

<?php

use JMS\DiExtraBundle\Annotation\Service;
use JMS\DiExtraBundle\Annotation\Tag;

/**
 * @Service
 * @Tag("doctrine.event_listener", attributes = {"event" = "postGenerateSchema", lazy=true})
 */
class Listener
{
    // ...
}

@Observe

Automatically registers a method as listener to a certain event:

<?php

use JMS\DiExtraBundle\Annotation\Observe;
use JMS\DiExtraBundle\Annotation\Service;

/**
 * @Service
 */
class RequestListener
{
    /**
     * @Observe("kernel.request", priority = 255)
     */
    public function onKernelRequest()
    {
        // ...
    }
}

@Validator

Automatically registers the given class as constraint validator for the Validator component:

<?php

use JMS\DiExtraBundle\Annotation\Validator;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraint;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\ConstraintValidator;

/**
 * @Validator("my_alias")
 */
class MyValidator extends ConstraintValidator
{
    // ...
}

class MyConstraint extends Constraint
{
    // ...
    public function validatedBy()
    {
        return 'my_alias';
    }
}

The @Validator annotation also implies the @Service annotation if you do not specify it explicitly. The alias which is passed to the @Validator annotation must match the string that is returned from the validatedBy method of your constraint.

@FormType

Automatically, registers the given class as a form type with Symfony2’s Form Component.

<?php

use JMS\DiExtraBundle\Annotation\FormType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;

/**
 * @FormType
 */
class MyFormType extends AbstractType
{
    // ...

    public function getName()
    {
        return 'my_form';
    }
}

// Controller.php
$form = $this->formFactory->create('my_form');
Note: @FormType implies @Service if not explicitly defined.

@DoctrineListener or @DoctrineMongoDBListener

Automatically, registers the given class as a listener with the Doctrine ORM or Doctrine MongoDB ODM:

<?php

use JMS\DiExtraBundle\Annotation\DoctrineListener;

/**
 * @DoctrineListener(
 *     events = {"prePersist", "preUpdate"},
 *     connection = "default",
 *     lazy = true,
 *     priority = 0,
 * )
class MyListener
{
    // ...
}
Note: @DoctrineListener implies @Service if not explicitly defined.
