1. 是什么

2. 适用场景

 

1. 是什么

\Class1 -》

public function __construct(\Class2 $argOfClass1){...}

\Class2 -》

public function __construct(\Class3 $argOfClass2){...}

change the type of $argOfClass2 from \Class3 to \Class4, but only when \Class2 is used as $argOfClass1

 

没有virtual type的情况下 di.xml -

<type name="Class1">
    <arguments>
         <argument name="argOfClass1" xsi:type="object">Class5</argument>
    </arguments>
</type>

where \Class5 is the following:

class \Class5 extends \Class2{
    public function __construct(\Class4 $argOfClass2){...}
}

此时需要多建立一个类 \Class5.

如果有了virtual type

 di.xml:

<virtualType name="Class5" type="Class2">
    <arguments>
        <argument name="argOfClass2" xsi:type="string">Class4</argument>
    </arguments>
</virtualType>

<type name="Class1">
    <arguments>
         <argument name="argOfClass1" xsi:type="object">Class5</argument>
    </arguments>
</type>
