Create service with argument

Question

I have class like this:

<?php

namespace Drupal\mymodule;

use Drupal\comment\CommentInterface;
use Drupal\comment\CommentManagerInterface;
use Drupal\comment\CommentStorage;
use Drupal\Core\Cache\CacheBackendInterface;
use Drupal\Core\Database\Connection;
use Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityInterface;
use Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityManagerInterface;
use Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityTypeInterface;
use Drupal\Core\Language\LanguageManagerInterface;
use Drupal\Core\Session\AccountInterface;

class MyCommentStorage extends CommentStorage { 

  /**
   * {@inheritdoc}
   */
  public function __construct(EntityTypeInterface $entity_info, Connection $database, EntityManagerInterface $entity_manager, AccountInterface $current_user, CacheBackendInterface $cache, LanguageManagerInterface $language_manager) {
    parent::__construct($entity_info, $database, $entity_manager, $current_user, $cache, $language_manager);
  }

}

and my file service:

services:
  comment.storage:
    class: Drupal\mymodule\MyCommentStorage
    arguments: ['@xxx','@database', '@entity.manager', '@current_user', '@cache.entity', '@language_manager']

I don't know add @xxx service to pass first argument in my method construct.I don't find any service implement interface EntityTypeInterface. So what's service I need add to first argument?

Answer 1

An entity handler class is instantiated via EntityHandlerInterface::createInstance static method, which takes the container as the first argument and the EntityTypeInterface as the second argument.

So you would not need the service and have to use the injected container to instantiate your class.

class MyCommentStorage extends CommentStorage implements EntityHandlerInterface { 

  /**
   * {@inheritdoc}
   */
  public function __construct(EntityTypeInterface $entity_info, Connection $database, EntityManagerInterface $entity_manager, AccountInterface $current_user, CacheBackendInterface $cache, LanguageManagerInterface $language_manager) {
    parent::__construct($entity_info, $database, $entity_manager, $current_user, $cache, $language_manager);
  }

  static public function createInstance(ContainerInterface $container, EntityTypeInterface $entity_type) {
    return new static(
      $entity_type,
      $container->get('database'),
      // etc...
    );
  }

}
