Inject nestjs service from another module

Question

I\'ve got a PlayersModule and an ItemsModule.

I want to use the ItemsService in the PlayersService.

When

Answer 1

You have to export the ItemsService in the module that provides it:

@Module({
  controllers: [ItemsController],
  providers: [ItemsService],
  exports: [ItemsService]
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
})
export class ItemsModule {}

and then import the exporting module in the module that uses the service:

@Module({
  controllers: [PlayersController],
  providers: [PlayersService],
  imports: [ItemsModule]
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
})
export class PlayersModule {}

⚠️ Do not add the same provider to multiple modules. Export the provider, import the module. ⚠️
