Hey! I know that an instance of \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request can be injected into Yves’ controller action method. I know also that a path parameter can be also injected into controller action method. Is there a way to use constructor- or method-injection for the services needed in controller? Or using factory is the only way to get required dependencies into Yves controller?

The Request passed into a controller action is the current request and should not be used as a service, but only to get access to the content of the current request (e.g.: query parameters).
Controllers in Spryker are not services like in Symfony, they are but they can't be modified to inject additional dependencies, that's why dependencies are retrieved via factory. The reason therefore is the core/project/code bucket inheritance logic in Spryker that comes with a locator that find's the right controller automatically.

Thank you, Alberto! I just needed to be sure that using factory is the only and true Spryker way to use dependencies in controllers.

@U0310RKK9U7 Controllers have an overridable initialize() method.

I like using it to only having to resolve for dependenceis exactly once.

That’s nice! Thank you, @UQ958DA4U
