How To Register A Service Provider For Lumen ?

Weblog about making a service provider for lumen

Every bit part of my project for Outline I had to arrive talk to laravel/lumen in a simple way. I desire to write downwards what I did.

New Project

To make information technology available via composer, you have to kickoff with a composer file. Much like this one:

          {
            "name": "etiennemarais/outline-laravel",
            "description": "Service provider for outline test generator",
            "type": "library",
            "license": "GPL-3.0",
            "crave": {
            "etiennemarais/outline": "~0.2"
            },
            "authors": [
            {
            "name": "Etienne Marais",
            "email": "hello@etiennemarais.co.za"
            }
            ],
            "autoload": {
            "psr-4": {
            "OutlineLaravel\\": "src/OutlineLaravel/"
            }
            },
            "minimum-stability": "dev"
}

I needed a unproblematic namespace and a require on meridian of the library I want to integrate into Lumen.

Then I created a folder construction like this:

The composer.lock file and vendor binder will get added as soon as you run composer install

What I needed

I needed some course of command to run when I needed updated tests from my api blueprint changes.

          outline:regenerate

That seems squeamish. Let me show you how to brand the command that services that telephone call.

The Command

                      <?php
namespace            OutlineLaravel\Commands;              utilize              DrafterPhp\Drafter;
              use              Illuminate\Panel\Command;
              use              Outline\ApiBlueprint\ApiBlueprint;
              employ              Outline\Test\Generator\Generator;
              utilise              Outline\Transformer\Outline\Transformer;
                          class              Regenerate              extends              Command
{
              protected              $proper noun = 'outline:regenerate';
              protected              $clarification = 'Regenerate feature tests from the api blueprint specification';
              private              $apiBlueprintFile;
                          public role              __construct()
              {
              parent::__construct();                
              $this->apiBlueprintFile = base_path() . '/apiary.apib';
              }
                          public function              handle()
              {
              $this->info("Regenerating feature tests from your apiary doc: \n{$this->apiBlueprintFile}");
                          $drafter =              new              Drafter(base_path() . '/vendor/bin/drafter');
                          $apiBlueprint =              new              ApiBlueprint($drafter, $this->apiBlueprintFile);
                          (new              Generator(new              Transformer))
              ->with($apiBlueprint)
              ->outputTo(base_path() . '/tests/Features')
              ->generateTestsFor('lumen');
              }
}

Encounter how you set the proper noun of the command, also meet that the control runs via the handle() method. This leverages from the epic lumen control framework.

ServiceProvider (The glue)

The glue that sticks all of this together is called the service provider. This is how lumen knows to include your library and knows how to bind references to your commands/classes etc.

                      <?php
namespace            OutlineLaravel;              use              Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
                          class              OutlineLaravelServiceProvider              extends              ServiceProvider
{
              public office              boot()
              {
              $this->app['outline:regenerate'] =              
              $this->app->share(function              () {
              return new              Commands\Regenerate();
              });
                          $this->commands(
              'outline:regenerate'
              );
              }
                          /**
                * Annals the service provider.
                *
                *                                            @return                                            void
                */
                            public function              register()
              {
              // Goose egg to register
              }
}

See how the command gets bound to a proper name

          $this->app['outline:regenerate']

On boot, the framework will know to bind your custom command to that name and make information technology available for the cli listing of executable tasks.

Now, if you lot include this library as a composer dependency in your actual lumen app, the command will be available to run.

          php artisan

Thanks for reading :)
