Question

I have created a simple class inside my bundle in Symfony 2:

class MyTest {
    public function myFunction() {
        $logger = $this->get('logger');
        $logger->err('testing out');
    }
}

How can i access the container?

Answer 1

You need to inject the service container. Your class will be look this:

use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface;

class MyTest
{
    private $container;

    public function __construct(ContainerInterface $container)
    {
        $this->container = $container;
    }

    public function myFunction()
    {
        $logger = $this->container->get('logger');
        $logger->err('testing out');
    }
}

Then within a controller or a ContainerAware instance:

$myinstance = new MyTest($this->container);
