How do you create a custom service in Phalcon?

To create a custom service in Phalcon, follow these minimal steps:

1. Create the Custom Service Class

Define a custom service class that performs your desired logic.

Example

<?php
namespace MyApp\Services;

class CustomService
{
    public function doSomething()
    {
        return "Service is working!";
    }
}
?>

2. Register the Service in the DI Container

Register the custom service in the Dependency Injection (DI) container, typically in services.php or index.php.

Example

<?php
use Phalcon\Di\FactoryDefault;

$di = new FactoryDefault();

$di->set('customService', function() {
    return new \MyApp\Services\CustomService();
});
?>

3. Use the Custom Service in Controllers

Access and use the custom service in your controller through the DI container.

Example

<?php
class IndexController extends \Phalcon\Mvc\Controller
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        $message = $this->customService->doSomething();
        echo $message;  // Output: Service is working!
    }
}
?>
