What are Service Providers in Laravel?
Service providers are the central place for configuring and bootstrapping your application in Laravel. They are responsible for binding services into the service container.
To use a service provider, follow these steps:
- Create a new service provider using:
php artisan make:provider MyServiceProvider
. - Register the provider in the
config/app.php
file underproviders
. - Implement the
register()
andboot()
methods to bind services.
For example:
public function register() { $this->app->singleton('MyService', function () { return new MyService(); }); }
