I am struggling to find a way to inject a service into an class object in angular2.
* NOTE: This is not a component, just a class. *
export class Product {
id: number;
name: string;
manufacturer: string;
constructor(product: any) {
this.id = product.id;
this.name = product.name;
this.manufacturer = product.manufacturer;
}
The only solution I have come up with is to pass the service reference to the constructor whenever I create a new product... ie: instead of new Product(product) I would do new Product(product, productService) . This seems tedious and error prone. I would rather import the reference from the class and not messy up the constructor.
I have tried the ReflectiveInjector:
let injector = ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate([ProductService]);
this.productService = injector.get(ProductService);
However, this creates an error No provider for Http! (ProductService -> Http) at NoProviderError.BaseError [as constructor] (Also I'm pretty sure this creates a new productService when I simple want to reference my singleton that is instantiated at the app level).
If anyone knows of a working solution I would be glad to hear it. For now i will pass the reference through the constructor.
Thanks
There is no way to inject a service into a plain class. Angular DI only injects into components, directives, services, and pipes - only classes where DI creates the instance, because this is when injection happens.
To get Http from a custom injector, you need to add to it's providers like shown in Inject Http manually in angular 2
or you pass a parent injector that provides them
// constructor of a class instantiated by Angulars DI
constructor(parentInjector:Injector){
let injector = ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate([ProductService]);
this.productService = injector.get(ProductService, parentInjector);
}
