Adding Parameters to Dependency Injected Objects

Kevin — Thu, 29 Jun 2017 12:00:00 GMT

In the last post, I touched on how you can define a service in your mymodule.services.yml file and pass it parameters to configure the object when it is injected as a dependency into other classes.

Following on that, I ran into a scenario where I needed to define multiple Solr cores on the servers that house the dev/qa sites, and one for staging and production. Each one would also be defined in Search API as a server, and each of the sites I am indexing would have their own index under each core per environment.

Why?

Dependency Inject PHP Classes into Drupal

Dependency Inject PHP Classes into Drupal

In my latest adventures in Drupal 8, I had to build out a multisite search with Solr.

While I will touch on that later, I wanted to call out something I learned today, which is how to inject dependencies to your Drupal class with non-native Drupal code.

What do I mean by that?

For example, while iterating over my controller for the search results page, I simply used $client = new Solarium\Client(); because I did not know how to inject that into Drupal properly.
