I am having an issue getting a Facade to work properly with a dependency injected into the underlying class.
I have a class called 'Listing'. It has one dependency called 'AdvertRepository' which is an interface and a class called EloquentAdvert which implements the interface. The code for these three classes is here:
// PlaneSaleing\Providers\Listing.php
<?php namespace PlaneSaleing\Providers;
use PlaneSaleing\Repositories\Advert\AdvertRepository;
class Listing {
protected $advert;
public function __construct (AdvertRepository $advert_repository) {
$this->advert = $advert_repository;
}
public function test() {
$this->advert->test();
}
public function test2() {
echo "this has worked";
}
}
// PlaneSaleing\Repositories\Advert\AdvertRepository.php
<?php namespace PlaneSaleing\Repositories\Advert;
interface AdvertRepository {
public function test();
}
// PlaneSaleing\Repositories\Advert\EloquentAdvert.php;
<?php namespace PlaneSaleing\Repositories\Advert;
class EloquentAdvert implements AdvertRepository {
public function test() {
echo 'this has worked';
}
}
I have then created a service provider called ListingServiceProvider.php, which has the following code:
// PlaneSaleing/Providers/ListingServiceProvider.php
<?php namespace PlaneSaleing\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\App;
class ListingServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {
public function register() {
App::bind('PlaneSaleing\Repositories\Advert\AdvertRepository', 'PlaneSaleing\Repositories\Advert\EloquentAdvert');
}
}
I also added this to the ServiceProviders array in app.php
Now, if I inject Listing as a dependency into a controller and call the test method (as shown below) Laravel correctly detects the dependency, instantiates EloquentAdvert via its binding and displays 'this has worked'.
// Controllers/TestController.php
use PlaneSaleing\Providers\Listing;
class TestController extends BaseController {
protected $listing;
public function __construct(Listing $listing) {
$this->listing = $listing;
}
public function test1() {
$this->listing->test();
}
}
Now, I then created a facade for Listing. I added a new facade as follows and added an alias in app.php:
// PlaneSaleing\Providers\ListingFacade.php
<?php namespace PlaneSaleing\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Facade;
class ListingFacade extends Facade {
protected static function getFacadeAccessor() {
return 'Listing';
}
}
I also added the following new lines to ListingServiceProvider.php:
<?php namespace PlaneSaleing\Providers;
use PlaneSaleing\Repositories\Advert\AdvertRepository;
use PlaneSaleing\Repositories\Advert\EloquentAdvert;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\App;
class ListingServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {
public function register() {
App::bind('PlaneSaleing\Repositories\Advert\AdvertRepository', 'PlaneSaleing\Repositories\Advert\EloquentAdvert');
// New lines...
$this->app['Listing'] = $this->app->share(function() {
return new Listing(new AdvertRepository);
});
}
}
NOW...if I call Listing::test(), I get the following error: Cannot instantiate interface PlaneSaleing\Repositories\Advert\AdvertRepository
.
If I call Listing::test2() , I get 'this has worked' so it seems the Facade is working correctly.
It seems that when accessing Listing via its Facade the binding between AdvertRepository and EloquentAdvert doesnt work. I have looked at my code in the ServiceProvider thinking it was the issue, but I cant figure it out.
Both the Facade and binding work when tested individually but not when both are used at the same time.
Any ideas???
