Hi all,

I am not sure this is the right question or the right way of doing it.

I have a service called emailService, and i want to get the config from global.php. how to achieve that.

NOTE: i used factory to inject the config container but when I call this service in a controller I am getting errors, I think i need to pass some data to EmailService from controller as I am using constructor to get the config in EmailService.

if i am confusing please let me know…

Like in your note, you should inject config as dependency of your service. What errors are you getting?

</div>

for an instance.

Code below

**my emailfactory**

class EmailFactory

public function \_\_invoke(ContainerInterface $container)  
{  
$config = $container-\>get(‘config’);

```
	$emailService = $config['email'];

	return new IndexController($emailService);
}

```

**emailservice**

class EmailService

public function \_\_construct($emailService)  
{  
$this-\>emailOptions = $emailService;  
}

**Controller**

Class EmailController

public function sendemail()  
{

$email = new EmailService();

// other email logic…  
}

I am not sure is this right way of calling a Service in Controller…

do i need to assign something in EmailService( here? ) because EmailService is constructor …

Glad I could help. Generally you should consider creating EmailService that has injected configuration and inject that service into controller (or other place where you need it)
