Symfony2: How to access to service from repository

Question

I have class ModelsRepository:

class ModelsRepository extends EntityRepository
{}

And service

container_data:
 class:               


        

Answer 1

I would suggest using a factory service:

http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/dependency_injection/factories.html

//Repository
class ModelsRepositoryFactory
{
    public static function getRepository($entityManager,$entityName,$fooservice)
    {
        $em     = $entityManager;
        $meta   = $em->getClassMetadata($entityName);

        $repository = new ModelsRepository($em, $meta, $fooservice);
        return $repository;
    }
}

//service
AcmeBundle.ModelsRepository:
        class: Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository
        factory: [AcmeBundle\Repositories\ModelsRepositoryFactory,getRepository]
        arguments:
            - @doctrine.orm.entity_manager
            - AcmeBundle\Entity\Models
            - @fooservice
