Laravel Yaml ServiceProvider

A simple Laravel library to declare your parmeters and services in Yaml like in Symfony:

# resources/providers/services.yml

services:
    dummy_service:
        class: App\Services\DummyService
        alias: dummy
        arguments:
            - %app.url%
            - %app.env%

instead of:

# app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php

//...
public function register()
{
    $this->app->singleton(
        'dummy_service',
        function ($app) {
            $url = env('APP_URL');
            $env = env('APP_ENV');

            return new \App\Services\DummyService($url, $env);
        }
    );
}

Install

You can use Composer to install the bundle to your project:

composer require theofidry/laravel-yaml

Then, add the provider Fidry\LaravelYaml\Provider\DefaultExtensionProvider to your application providers:

<?php
// config/app.php

'providers' => [
    // ...
    \Fidry\LaravelYaml\Provider\DefaultExtensionProvider::class,
];

Usage

See how to declare and use parameters and services!

By convention, you should have the following structure:

resources/
    providers/
        parameters.yml
        parameters_testing.yml
        services.yml

The parameters.yml should contain all of your application parameters values:

# resources/providers/parameters.yml

parameters:
    my_parameter: parameter_value

Depending of your environment, a second parameters file will be loaded. For example, if your application environment (by default defined by the environment variable APP_ENV in your .env file) is 'testing' or 'production', the library will try to load the parameters_testing.yml or parameters_production.yml file.

Then services.yml should contain all your service definitions.
