Laravel 4: Passing data from make to the service provider - laravel

Question

The code below says it all...
// routes.php
App::make('SimpleGeo',array('test')); <- passing array('test')
// SimpleGeoServiceProvider.php
public function register()
{
$this->app['SimpleGeo'] = $this->app->share(function($app)
{
return new SimpleGeo($what_goes_here);
});
}
// SimpleGeo.php
class SimpleGeo
{
protected $_test;
public function __construct($test) <- need array('test')
{
$this->_test = $test;
}
public function getTest()
{
return $this->_test;
}
}

Answer 1

You can try to bind the class with the parameters directly into your app container, like
<?php // This is your SimpleGeoServiceProvider.php
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
Class SimpleGeoServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {
public function register()
{
$this->app->bind('SimpleGeo', function($app, $parameters)
{
return new SimpleGeo($parameters);
});
}
}
leaving untouched your SimpleGeo.php. You can test it in your routes.php
$test = App::make('SimpleGeo', array('test'));
var_dump ($test);

Answer 2

You need to pass your test array to the class inside of the service provider
// NOT in routes.php but when u need it like the controller
App::make('SimpleGeo'); // <- and don't pass array('test')
public function register()
{
$this->app['SimpleGeo'] = $this->app->share(function($app)
{
return new SimpleGeo(array('test'));
});
}
YourController.php
Public Class YourController
{
public function __construct()
{
$this->simpleGeo = App::make('SimpleGeo');
}
}
