87+ Defining a Service Subscriber
88+ -----------------------------
89+
90+ First, turn ``CommandBus `` into an implementation of :class: `Symfony\\ Component\\ DependencyInjection\\ ServiceSubscriberInterface `.
91+ Use its ``getSubscribedServices() `` method to include as many services as needed
92+ in the service subscriber and change the type hint of the container to
93+ a PSR-11 ``ContainerInterface ``::
94+
95+ // src/AppBundle/CommandBus.php
96+ namespace AppBundle;
97+
98+ use AppBundle\CommandHandler\BarHandler;
99+ use AppBundle\CommandHandler\FooHandler;
100+ use Psr\Container\ContainerInterface;
101+ use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ServiceSubscriberInterface;
102+
103+ class CommandBus implements ServiceSubscriberInterface
104+ {
105+ private $locator;
106+
107+ public function __construct(ContainerInterface $locator)
108+ {
109+ $this->locator = $locator;
110+ }
111+
112+ public static function getSubscribedServices()
113+ {
114+ return [
115+ 'AppBundle\FooCommand' => FooHandler::class,
116+ 'AppBundle\BarCommand' => BarHandler::class,
117+ ];
118+ }
119+
120+ public function handle(Command $command)
121+ {
122+ $commandClass = get_class($command);
123+
124+ if ($this->locator->has($commandClass)) {
125+ $handler = $this->locator->get($commandClass);
126+
127+ return $handler->handle($command);
128+ }
129+ }
130+ }
131+
132+ .. tip ::
133+
134+ If the container does *not * contain the subscribed services, double-check
135+ that you have :ref: `autoconfigure <services-autoconfigure >` enabled. You
136+ can also manually add the ``container.service_subscriber `` tag.
137+
138+ The injected service is an instance of :class: `Symfony\\ Component\\ DependencyInjection\\ ServiceLocator `
139+ which implements the PSR-11 ``ContainerInterface ``, but it is also a callable::
140+
141+ // ...
142+ $locateHandler = $this->locator;
143+ $handler = $locateHandler($commandClass);
144+
145+ return $handler->handle($command);
146+
147+ Including Services
148+ ------------------
149+
150+ In order to add a new dependency to the service subscriber, use the
151+ ``getSubscribedServices() `` method to add service types to include in the
152+ service locator::
153+
154+ use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface;
155+
156+ public static function getSubscribedServices()
157+ {
158+ return [
159+ // ...
160+ LoggerInterface::class,
161+ ];
162+ }
163+
164+ Service types can also be keyed by a service name for internal use::
165+
166+ use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface;
167+
168+ public static function getSubscribedServices()
169+ {
170+ return [
171+ // ...
172+ 'logger' => LoggerInterface::class,
173+ ];
174+ }
175+
176+ Optional Services
177+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
178+
179+ For optional dependencies, prepend the service type with a ``? `` to prevent
180+ errors if there's no matching service found in the service container::
181+
182+ use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface;
183+
184+ public static function getSubscribedServices()
185+ {
186+ return [
187+ // ...
188+ '?'.LoggerInterface::class,
189+ ];
190+ }
191+
192+ .. note ::
193+
194+ Make sure an optional service exists by calling ``has() `` on the service
195+ locator before calling the service itself.
196+
197+ Aliased Services
198+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
199+
200+ By default, autowiring is used to match a service type to a service from the
201+ service container. If you don't use autowiring or need to add a non-traditional
202+ service as a dependency, use the ``container.service_subscriber `` tag to map a
203+ service type to a service.
