How to give container as argument to services

It's easy, if service extends ContainerAware

use \Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerAware;class YouService extends ContainerAware{    public function someMethod()     {        $this->container->get('router')->generate('fos_user_profile_edit')         ...    }}

service.yml

  your.service:      class: App\...\YouService      calls:          - [ setContainer,[ @service_container ] ]

Add:

<argument type="service" id="service_container" />

And in your listener class:

use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface;//...public function __construct(ContainerInterface $container, ...) {

It's 2016, you can use trait which will help you extend same class with multiple libraries.

<?phpnamespace iBasit\ToolsBundle\Utils\Lib;use Doctrine\Bundle\DoctrineBundle\Registry;use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface;trait Container{    private $container;    public function setContainer (ContainerInterface $container)    {        $this->container = $container;    }    /**     * Shortcut to return the Doctrine Registry service.     *     * @return Registry     *     * @throws \LogicException If DoctrineBundle is not available     */    protected function getDoctrine()    {        if (!$this->container->has('doctrine')) {            throw new \LogicException('The DoctrineBundle is not registered in your application.');        }        return $this->container->get('doctrine');    }    /**     * Get a user from the Security Token Storage.     *     * @return mixed     *     * @throws \LogicException If SecurityBundle is not available     *     * @see TokenInterface::getUser()     */    protected function getUser()    {        if (!$this->container->has('security.token_storage')) {            throw new \LogicException('The SecurityBundle is not registered in your application.');        }        if (null === $token = $this->container->get('security.token_storage')->getToken()) {            return;        }        if (!is_object($user = $token->getUser())) {            // e.g. anonymous authentication            return;        }        return $user;    }    /**     * Returns true if the service id is defined.     *     * @param string $id The service id     *     * @return bool true if the service id is defined, false otherwise     */    protected function has ($id)    {        return $this->container->has($id);    }    /**     * Gets a container service by its id.     *     * @param string $id The service id     *     * @return object The service     */    protected function get ($id)    {        if ('request' === $id)        {            @trigger_error('The "request" service is deprecated and will be removed in 3.0. Add a typehint for Symfony\\Component\\HttpFoundation\\Request to your controller parameters to retrieve the request instead.', E_USER_DEPRECATED);        }        return $this->container->get($id);    }    /**     * Gets a container configuration parameter by its name.     *     * @param string $name The parameter name     *     * @return mixed     */    protected function getParameter ($name)    {        return $this->container->getParameter($name);    }}

Your object, which will be service.

namespace AppBundle\Utils;use iBasit\ToolsBundle\Utils\Lib\Container;class myObject{    use Container;}

Your service settings

 myObject:         class: AppBundle\Utils\myObject        calls:            - [setContainer, ["@service_container"]]

Call your service in controller

$myObject = $this->get('myObject');
