Service Providers

Introduction

The most important thing in the kernel boot operation is to load the ServiceProvider. All ServiceProvider under the application are configured in the providers array in config/app.go.

First, the kernel will call the Register method of all service providers. After all service providers have been registered, the kernel will call the Boot method of all ServiceProvider again.

The ServiceProvider is the key to the life cycle of Goravel. They enable the framework to contain various components, such as routing, database, queue, cache, etc.

You can also customize your own provider, it can be stored under app/providers and registered in the providers array in config/app.go.

The framework comes with a blank service provider app/providers/app_service_provider.go where you can implement simple boot logic. In bigger projects, you have the option to create new service providers for more precise control.
