Service

Services in Serapha encapsulate business logic and operations, providing a clean and organized way to interact with models and handle application logic. They are designed to be used by controllers and can manage multiple models if needed.

Basic Structure

`Service` Class

The base Service class in Serapha provides common functionalities that all services can utilize. This class is a part of the framework and does not require modification by the user.

Creating a Service

To create a service, extend the Service class and define your business logic methods.

Example: `UserService`

The UserService manages user operations such as registration, profile retrieval, updating profiles, and deleting users. It interacts with the UserModel to perform these operations.

app/Service/UserService.php
namespace App\Service;

use Serapha\Service\Service;
use Serapha\Model\ModelLocator;
use App\Model\UserModel;

class UserService extends Service
{
    private UserModel $userModel;

    public function __construct()
    {
        // Use the Model Locator to get an instance of UserModel
        $this->userModel = ModelLocator::get(UserModel::class);
    }

    public function registerUser(array $data)
    {
        // Perform validation, hashing, etc.
        $data['password'] = password_hash($data['password'], PASSWORD_BCRYPT);

        return $this->userModel->createUser($data);
    }

    public function getUserProfile(int $id)
    {
        // Business logic to retrieve user profile
        return $this->userModel->getUserById($id);
    }

    public function updateProfile(array $data, int $id)
    {
        // Additional business logic
        return $this->userModel->updateUser($data, $id);
    }

    public function deleteUser(int $id)
    {
        // Additional business logic
        return $this->userModel->deleteUser($id);
    }
}

Using Services in Controllers

Services can be injected into controllers, allowing you to keep your controllers slim and focused on handling HTTP requests.

Example: `UserController`

The UserController demonstrates how to use UserService for user-related operations.

app/Controller/UserController.php
namespace App\Controller;

use Serapha\Service\ServiceLocator;
use Serapha\Routing\Response;
use App\Service\UserService;

class UserController extends BaseController
{
    private Response $response;
    private UserService $userService;

    public function __construct(Response $response)
    {
        // Dependencies are injected automatically
        $this->response = $response;
        $this->userService = ServiceLocator::get(UserService::class);
    }

    public function show(string|int $id)
    {
        $user = $this->userService->getUserProfile((int) $id);
        $data = ['user' => $user];

        $this->template->render(['header_common.html', 'view_user.html', 'footer_common.html'], $data);
    }
}

In this example, UserService is retrieved using ServiceLocator and is used to fetch the user profile and render the user view.

Dependency Injection

Serapha supports Dependency Injection (DI) for services, making it easy to manage dependencies within your services.

Example: Using DI in Services

namespace App\Service;

use Serapha\Service\Service;
use carry0987\Sanite\Sanite;

class ExampleService extends Service
{
    private Sanite $sanite;

    public function __construct(Sanite $sanite)
    {
        $this->sanite = $sanite;
        // Your service logic here
    }

    // Define other methods for your service
}

By creating services in Serapha, you can encapsulate your business logic, interact with models efficiently, and keep your controllers clean and focused on request handling.
