ServiceProvider

Registers the MVC application service.

The application service is the Phalcon MVC entrypoint used by HTTP bootstraps. It receives the shared PhalconKit DI container so dispatch, module loading, events, routing, view, response, and other MVC services all resolve from the same container instance.


Properties

serviceName

Stable DI service name managed by this provider.

protected string $serviceName

This value is part of the provider contract because controllers, tasks, other injectables, and replacement providers resolve services by name. Concrete providers must set it to a non-empty value.


Methods

register

Register the shared application service.

public register(\PhalconKit\Di\DiInterface $di): void

The service is lazy and shared: the MVC application is only constructed when first requested and subsequent lookups reuse the same instance.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$di \PhalconKit\Di\DiInterface

Inherited methods

__construct

Stores the DI container and prepares the provider for registration.

public __construct(\PhalconKit\Di\DiInterface $di): mixed

The constructor intentionally requires PhalconKit\Di\DiInterface so providers can rely on typed service helpers during configuration and registration.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
$di \PhalconKit\Di\DiInterface

Throws:

When a concrete provider does not define a non-empty service name. - LogicException


getName

Returns the DI service name managed by this provider.

public getName(): string

boot

Optional post-registration hook.

public boot(): void

The base implementation is intentionally empty. Custom bootstraps or application code may call this method for provider-specific startup work after all services have been registered.


configure

Optional provider-local configuration hook.

public configure(): void

This runs during construction after DI has been stored and before register() is called. Use it to normalize provider options or prepare lightweight state; service creation belongs in register().
