Laravel 4: Passing data from make to the service provider

Question

The code below says it all...

// routes.php
App::make(\'SimpleGeo\',array(\'test\')); <- passing array(\'test\')

// SimpleGeoServiceProvider.php
pu         


        

Answer 1

You can try to bind the class with the parameters directly into your app container, like

<?php // This is your SimpleGeoServiceProvider.php

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

Class SimpleGeoServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {

    public function register()
    {
        $this->app->bind('SimpleGeo', function($app, $parameters)
        {
            return new SimpleGeo($parameters);
        });
    }
}

leaving untouched your SimpleGeo.php. You can test it in your routes.php

$test = App::make('SimpleGeo', array('test'));

var_dump ($test);

Answer 2

You need to pass your test array to the class inside of the service provider

// NOT in routes.php but when u need it like the controller
App::make('SimpleGeo'); // <- and don't pass array('test')

public function register()
{
    $this->app['SimpleGeo'] = $this->app->share(function($app)
    {
        return new SimpleGeo(array('test'));
    });
}

YourController.php

Public Class YourController
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->simpleGeo = App::make('SimpleGeo');
    }
}
