Dependency injection is, as the name suggests, the approach of injecting dependencies into a class - usually within a __construct method.

+

This makes code less coupled and easier to test.

+

In a Drupal application, that usually means not using the static methods on \Drupal when fetching dependencies.

+

This is an example from my website:

+ 
<?php
+
+      readonly final class PodcastNodeRepository {
+
+        private NodeStorageInterface $nodeStorage;
+
+        public function __construct(EntityTypeManagerInterface $entityTypeManager) {
+          $this->nodeStorage = $entityTypeManager->getStorage('node');
+        }
+
+      }
+

The EntityTypeManagerInterface dependency is injected and used to get the node storage class, which is used in another method to find the podcast episode nodes.

+

For this to work with the dependency injection container, I need to add the class as a service, including its arguments so they can be injected:

+ 
# opd_podcast.services.yml
+
+      services:
+        Drupal\opd_podcast\Action\GetNextPodcastEpisodeNumber:
+          arguments:
+            - '@entity_type.manager'
+

But, this means you need to update this file if any dependencies change.

+

Wouldn't it be better to do this automatically?

+

Usually, it can with autowiring.

+

Instead of arguments, add autowire: true and Drupal will try to automatically inject the dependencies for you:

+ 
# opd_podcast.services.yml
+
+      services:
+        Drupal\opd_podcast\Action\GetNextPodcastEpisodeNumber:
+          autowire: true
+        Drupal\opd_podcast\Repository\PodcastNodeRepository:
+          autowire: true
+

Now, if dependencies change, you don't need to update the services file - making it easier and quicker.
