How to use Repository with Doctrine as Service in Symfony | Tomas Votruba

| | Dependency injection with autowiring is super easy [since Symfony 3.3](/blog/2017/05/07/how-to-refactor-to-new-dependency-injection-features-in-symfony-3-3/). Yet on my mentoring I still meet service locators. Mostly due to traditional registration of Doctrine repositories. The way out from *service locators* to *repository as service* was [described](https://matthiasnoback.nl/2014/05/inject-a-repository-instead-of-an-entity-manager) by many [before](https://medium.com/@adamquaile/composition-over-inheritance-in-doctrine-repositories-f6a53a026f60) and **now we put it into Symfony 3.3 context**.

Recently, I introduced [Symfony Static Dumper](/blog/2020/03/16/statie-is-dead-long-live-symfony-static-dumper/) that uses YAML to store data in your Symfony application. You where this goes... how can **we turn this YAML into objects**?

| | Do you use PHP 7.4 [typed properties](/blog/2018/11/15/how-to-get-php-74-typed-properties-to-your-code-in-few-seconds/)? Do you know why? I use them, so **I don't have to think and validate the property type** every time. We just know its type or PHP would crash otherwise. Until PHP 7.4 this was not possible and code was kinda crappy. Where are we now with constant type? Do you trust your class constants type?

| The point of this post isn't to convince you of the usefulness of Dependency Injection there's been plenty of pixels spilled about it already. Instead, I want to talk about using Dry::Container to alleviate some of the pain points that DI introduces.
