I have recently been learning about the AppServiceProvider. I have registered a service in the AppServiceProvider which creates a singleton - an instantiated GuzzleHttp Client, like so:
$this->app->singleton('GuzzleHttp\Client', function($api) {
return new Client([
'base_uri' => env('ELASTICSEARCH_HOST'),
'auth' => [
env('ELASTICSEARCH_USER'),
env('ELASTICSEARCH_PASS')
],
]);
});
This is connecting to an ElasticSearch API, and that currently works:
$response = app('GuzzleHttp\Client')->request('GET');
I have set up a facade called ElasticSearchFacade, which contains only the getFacadeAccessor():
protected static function getFacadeAccessor()
{
return 'elasticSearch';
}
I have also registered elasticSearch in my AppServiceProvider, like so:
$this->app->bind('elasticSearch', function() {
return new ElasticSearch();
});
This creates a new ElasticSearch instance. However, I would love to pass the GuzzleHttp\Client into the elasticSearch service. So I have tried adding the following to my ElasticSearch.php file:
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
class ElasticSearch
{
protected $client;
public function __contruct(Client $client)
{
$this->client = $client;
}
public function handle()
{
$response = $this->client->request('GET');
die($response->getBody()->getContents());
}
}
I have now changed the registered service to pass through the GuzzleHttp Client like so:
$this->app->bind('elasticSearch', function() {
return new ElasticSearch(app('GuzzleHttp\Client'));
});
However I am getting the error:
PHP Error: Call to a member function request() on null
