I am trying to override the default implementation of Mailer in Illuminate\Mail\MailServiceProvider.
At first, I thought that I will just extend the service and switch the implementation in the container followingly:
App\Mail\Mailer
<?php
namespace App\Mail;
class Mailer extends \Illuminate\Mail\Mailer
{
public function getTo()
{
return $this->to;
}
}
App\Providers\AppServiceProvider
<?php
namespace App\Providers;
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
public function register()
{
$this->app->singleton('mailer', function (Container $app) {
// ...
$mailer = new \App\Mail\Mailer(
$app['view'], $app['swift.mailer'], $app['events']
);
// ...
return $mailer;
});
}
}
The problem is that even though I've overridden the container definition when resolving the service it ignores my definition completely because
Illuminate\Mail\MailServiceProviderhas$defer = trueproperty, meaning that it will get resolved in a special way like this:
Illuminate\Foundation\Application
public function make($abstract)
{
$abstract = $this->getAlias($abstract);
if (isset($this->deferredServices[$abstract])) {
$this->loadDeferredProvider($abstract);
}
return parent::make($abstract);
}
So, it doesn't matter that I tried to override the service, because Illuminate\Mail\MailServiceProvider will always get preferred since it's deferred service provider. I tried defining my service provider as $defer = true as well but without luck.
The only option that I can think of would be to completely remove Illuminate\Mail\MailServiceProvider and replace it with a custom one. But that seems a bit harsh.
Any ideas?
