Service Providers (Core)

Service providers are the central place for configuring your LaraNode application.

Overview

Service providers handle:

Registering services in the IoC container
Booting services after registration
Registering middleware
Accessing configuration

The ServiceProvider Class

import { ServiceProvider } from "@lara-node/core";

export class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {
  register() {
    // Bind services
  }

  boot() {
    // Boot services
  }
}

The `app` Property

Access the container via this.app:

export class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {
  register() {
    this.app.singleton(UserService, () => {
      return new UserService(this.app.make(DatabaseService));
    });
  }

  boot() {
    const service = this.app.make(UserService);
    service.initialize();
  }
}

Middleware Helpers

`registerMiddleware()`

export class HttpMiddlewareProvider extends MiddlewareServiceProvider {
  registerMiddleware() {
    return {
      aliases: {
        auth: AuthMiddleware,
        throttle: ThrottleMiddleware,
      },
      groups: {
        api: ["auth", "throttle"],
      },
      priority: ["throttle"],
    };
  }
}

Configuration Access

Access config in providers:

boot() {
  const dbConfig = this.app.config('database')
  const cacheDriver = this.app.config('cache.driver')
}

Lifecycle

1. app.register(Provider)
   └─ Provider.register()

2. app.boot()
   ├─ Provider.booting() callbacks
   ├─ Provider.boot()
   └─ Provider.booted() callbacks

Form Request

The FormRequest is a Laravel-inspired request validation class that encapsulates validation logic, authorization, and input handling into a single, type-safe class. When type-hinted in a controller method, the router automatically instantiates it, runs validation, and injects it — returning a 422 response on failure.

Database Package

The @lara-node/db package provides a Laravel Eloquent-inspired ORM with support for MySQL and MongoDB, migrations, seeders, traits, and observers.
