[7.19] AntiVirus: Service auto-discovery

[tminich]

Description

Most Laravel packages have auto-discovery for their services. Is there a reason why the service for the AntiVirus package needs to be added manually?

Possible solution

Add a extra->laravel->providers entry to composer.json to allow the service to be auto-discovered.

Hi @tminich. Thus far I have avoided using auto-discovery, because some of my packages offer more than one service provider and I wanted to avoid creating conflicts / unwanted situations by automatically registration of certain bindings. This is especially true when I overwrite some of Laravel's own native bindings (but that is not the case for the AntiVirus package).
Should you require the AntiVirus components for more than one project, then you can always create a "wrapper" package that automatically discovers it - or perhaps your own custom service provider with configuration and settings that fit your purposes.

In future major version(s), I might reconsider my approach for all of my packages. But for now, you will have to manually register the required service provider (sorry).

That's perfectly reasonable. Basically I was wondering if it's intentional or an oversight and you cleared that up =)

Feel free to just close this or leave it open if you want to keep it as a reminder for the future.
