Services

Services are managed within an IoC (Inversion of Control) container, allowing them to be injected into:

• Website Controllers
• API Controllers

You can register your services within the Services section of the admin. Each service should follow the following pattern:

const service = function(serviceDep) {
	this.serviceDep = serviceDep;
};

service.prototype.something = function(value) {
	return value * this.serviceDep.getMultiplier();
};

module.exports = service;

Once a service is named it cannot be renamed.

A service can be resolved using the service provider.

Predefined services

There are a number of predefined services that can be access from within your controllers/handlers, these are:

• authClientProvider
• environmentService
• idmService
• integrationService
• messagingService
• rulesetService
• serviceProvider
• storageService
• locationService
• blobService
