What is service provider in Laravel

Question

What does service provider provide service in laravel and what is the artisan command which can be used to generate a service provider?

Answer 1

Hey,

• Service providers can be defined as the central place to configure all the entire Laravel applications. 
• Applications, as well as Laravel's core services, are bootstrapped via service providers. 
• These are powerful tools for maintaining class dependencies and performing dependency injection.
•  Service providers also instruct Laravel to bind various components into the Laravel's Service Container.

An artisan command is given here which can be used to generate a service provider:

            php artisan make: provider ClientsServiceProvider  

Almost, all the service providers extend the Illuminate\Support\ServiceProviderclass. Most of the service providers contain below-listed functions in its file:

• Register() Function
• Boot() Function

Within the Register() method, one should only bind things into the service container.

One should never attempt to register any event listeners, routes, or any other piece of functionality within the Register() method.

Hope it helps!!
