In a Symfony 4 project, I make use of eightpoints/guzzle bundle to make calls to a remote API. After installing the bundle (and configuring a client in a separate yaml file), I followed this quide to make my client autowired, which works perfectly. Then a extended my client class (i.e. the class descending from the GuzzleHttpClient, the equivalent of the ApiPaymentClient class in the above guide) with some higher-level methods that take care of the calls I need, which also works great.

The question is: is there a way to make my client class accept extra parameters? Specifically, I'd like to define a parameter in the parameters section of my services.yaml and then bind it to a specific extra parameter in the client class constructor (which will then store the parameter value in a private variable for usage in the methods), i.e.

class MyClient extends GuzzleHttpClient

{

    public function __construct($config, $apiKey)

    {

        parent::__construct($config);

        $this->apiKey = $apiKey;

    }

    /*...*/

}

Originally (i.e. as the result of the above-mentioned guide) the definition of the client service in services.yaml goes like this:

AppClientMyClient: '@eight_points_guzzle.client.my_client'

which makes sure that MyClient gets the config defined within the

eight_points_guzzle:

    clients:

        my_client:

section in the separate bundle config file (eight_points_guzzle.yaml).

How do I alter the AppClientMyClient service definition to accept an extra parameter and still get the config from eight_points_guzzle.yaml? So far I've managed one or the other work, but not both (i.e. making the binding work makes the client definition from eight_points_guzzle.yaml not be read, and vice versa.)

Bottom line: yes I can define the parameter as a class const in the MyClient class, but I don't like this solution; not mentioning the situation I will one day need to pass a service, not just a simple variable.
