Hello Magento Friends,
In this blog article, we will learn about What is Proxies in Magento 2, why it is needed, and how to use Proxy in Magento 2.
Contents
Proxies are used to solve a specific problem in Magento 2. Proxies work as a substitute. In programming, proxies are classes that can be used in place of any other classes. In Magento 2 Proxies are used on behalf of resource hungry classes.
Magento 2 uses various types of dependencies of which constructor injection and method injection are the best. But there is trouble using the constructor injection.
If you wish to use another class object in your class you are unable to instantiate the class in Magento 2. Instead, you need to inject the object in the constructor and afterward, it can be used in the class. Doing so will instantiate all the dependencies injected in your class constructor when your class is instantiated. This slows down the process. To overcome this, a proxy design pattern is used.
Let’s take an example to know how Proxy is used in Magento 2.
Step 1: Add a type configuration in the di.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
<type name="Magento\Catalog\Model\Product">
<arguments>
<argument name="catalogProductStatus" xsi:type="object">Magento\Catalog\Model\Product\Attribute\Source\Status\Proxy</argument>
<argument name="productLink" xsi:type="object">Magento\Catalog\Model\Product\Link\Proxy</argument>
</arguments>
</type>
</config> Step 2: After that open terminal and execute the below command in the Magento root path
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
Then the following classes will be generated automatically at the given path :
magento_root_path\generated\code\Magento\Catalog\Model\Product\Attribute\Source\Status\Proxy.php
