Application instantiation for Laravel source code analysis

Laravel ：5.4.0 After Laravel introduced composer auto-loading, it took an extremely important step, Application instantiation. The full name of this class is Illuminate\Foundation\Application. Looking at its __construct method, you can see that it has performed the following four steps.

    public function __construct($basePath = null)
    {
        if ($basePath) {
            $this->setBasePath($basePath);
        }

        $this->registerBaseBindings();

        $this->registerBaseServiceProviders();

        $this->registerCoreContainerAliases();
    }

Step 1: setBasePath

The first step depends on the path parameter passed in during initialization, and the path is the root directory of the project. In the setBasePath method, the bindPathsInContainer method is called. The instance method is used again here, and the path is filled in the $instances array of the class.

    protected function bindPathsInContainer()
    {
        $this->instance('path', $this->path());
        $this->instance('path.base', $this->basePath());
        $this->instance('path.lang', $this->langPath());
        $this->instance('path.config', $this->configPath());
        $this->instance('path.public', $this->publicPath());
        $this->instance('path.storage', $this->storagePath());
        $this->instance('path.database', $this->databasePath());
        $this->instance('path.resources', $this->resourcePath());
        $this->instance('path.bootstrap', $this->bootstrapPath());
    }

Step 2: registerBaseBindings

    protected function registerBaseBindings()
    {
        static::setInstance($this);

        $this->instance('app', $this);

        $this->instance(Container::class, $this);
    }

The instance method is also called here, but unlike before, the second parameter passed in here is a class, while the previous one is a string. In the second step, the first line registers a static instance named $instance for the Application class, and the second and third lines fill in the two keys 'app' and Container for the $instances array property in the Application instance.::class, value is the value of $this.

Step 3: registerBaseServiceProviders

    protected function registerBaseServiceProviders()
    {
        $this->register(new EventServiceProvider($this));

        $this->register(new LogServiceProvider($this));

        $this->register(new RoutingServiceProvider($this));
    }

The third step is to register three ServiceProviders. During the registration process, the register method of the ServiceProvider will be executed, and each ServiceProvider generally has a register method.

    public function register($provider, $options = [], $force = false)
    {
        if (($registered = $this->getProvider($provider)) && ! $force) {
            return $registered;
        }

        // If the given "provider" is a string, we will resolve it, passing in the
        // application instance automatically for the developer. This is simply
        // a more convenient way of specifying your service provider classes.
        if (is_string($provider)) {
            $provider = $this->resolveProvider($provider);
        }

        if (method_exists($provider, 'register')) {
            $provider->register();
        }

        $this->markAsRegistered($provider);

        // If the application has already booted, we will call this boot method on
        // the provider class so it has an opportunity to do its boot logic and
        // will be ready for any usage by this developer's application logic.
        if ($this->booted) {
            $this->bootProvider($provider);
        }

        return $provider;
    }

Step 4: registerCoreContainerAliases

    public function registerCoreContainerAliases()
    {
        $aliases = [
            'app'                  => [\Illuminate\Foundation\Application::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Container\Container::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Foundation\Application::class],
            'auth'                 => [\Illuminate\Auth\AuthManager::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Factory::class],
            'auth.driver'          => [\Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Guard::class],
            'blade.compiler'       => [\Illuminate\View\Compilers\BladeCompiler::class],
            'cache'                => [\Illuminate\Cache\CacheManager::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Cache\Factory::class],
            'cache.store'          => [\Illuminate\Cache\Repository::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Cache\Repository::class],
            'config'               => [\Illuminate\Config\Repository::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Config\Repository::class],
            'cookie'               => [\Illuminate\Cookie\CookieJar::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Cookie\Factory::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Cookie\QueueingFactory::class],
            'encrypter'            => [\Illuminate\Encryption\Encrypter::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Encryption\Encrypter::class],
            'db'                   => [\Illuminate\Database\DatabaseManager::class],
            'db.connection'        => [\Illuminate\Database\Connection::class, \Illuminate\Database\ConnectionInterface::class],
            'events'               => [\Illuminate\Events\Dispatcher::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Events\Dispatcher::class],
            'files'                => [\Illuminate\Filesystem\Filesystem::class],
            'filesystem'           => [\Illuminate\Filesystem\FilesystemManager::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Filesystem\Factory::class],
            'filesystem.disk'      => [\Illuminate\Contracts\Filesystem\Filesystem::class],
            'filesystem.cloud'     => [\Illuminate\Contracts\Filesystem\Cloud::class],
            'hash'                 => [\Illuminate\Contracts\Hashing\Hasher::class],
            'translator'           => [\Illuminate\Translation\Translator::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Translation\Translator::class],
            'log'                  => [\Illuminate\Log\Writer::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Logging\Log::class, \Psr\Log\LoggerInterface::class],
            'mailer'               => [\Illuminate\Mail\Mailer::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Mail\Mailer::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Mail\MailQueue::class],
            'auth.password'        => [\Illuminate\Auth\Passwords\PasswordBrokerManager::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\PasswordBrokerFactory::class],
            'auth.password.broker' => [\Illuminate\Auth\Passwords\PasswordBroker::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\PasswordBroker::class],
            'queue'                => [\Illuminate\Queue\QueueManager::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\Factory::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\Monitor::class],
            'queue.connection'     => [\Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\Queue::class],
            'queue.failer'         => [\Illuminate\Queue\Failed\FailedJobProviderInterface::class],
            'redirect'             => [\Illuminate\Routing\Redirector::class],
            'redis'                => [\Illuminate\Redis\RedisManager::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Redis\Factory::class],
            'request'              => [\Illuminate\Http\Request::class, \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request::class],
            'router'               => [\Illuminate\Routing\Router::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Routing\Registrar::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Routing\BindingRegistrar::class],
            'session'              => [\Illuminate\Session\SessionManager::class],
            'session.store'        => [\Illuminate\Session\Store::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Session\Session::class],
            'url'                  => [\Illuminate\Routing\UrlGenerator::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Routing\UrlGenerator::class],
            'validator'            => [\Illuminate\Validation\Factory::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Factory::class],
            'view'                 => [\Illuminate\View\Factory::class, \Illuminate\Contracts\View\Factory::class],
        ];

        foreach ($aliases as $key => $aliases) {
            foreach ($aliases as $alias) {
                $this->alias($key, $alias);
            }
        }
    }

This step is to register aliases for some core classes.
After four steps, the instantiation of Application is complete.
