# Create a Service
|
||
|
||
In this document, you’ll learn how you can create a [Service](./overview.md) and use it across your Medusa server just like any of the core services.
|
||
|
||
## Implementation
|
||
|
||
To create a service, create a TypeScript or JavaScript file in `src/services` to hold the service. The name of the file should be the registration name of the service without `Service` as it will be appended to it by default.
|
||
|
||
For example, if you want to create a service `helloService`, create the file `hello.ts` in `src/services` with the following content:
|
||
|
||
```ts title=/src/services/hello.ts
|
||
import { TransactionBaseService } from "@medusajs/medusa"
|
||
import { EntityManager } from "typeorm"
|
||
|
||
class HelloService extends TransactionBaseService {
|
||
protected manager_: EntityManager
|
||
protected transactionManager_: EntityManager
|
||
getMessage() {
|
||
return `Welcome to My Store!`
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
export default HelloService
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Service Constructor
|
||
|
||
As the service extends the `TransactionBaseService` class, all services in Medusa’s core, as well as all your custom services, will be available in your service’s constructor using dependency injection.
|
||
|
||
So, if you want your service to use another service, simply add it as part of your constructor’s dependencies and set it to a field inside your service’s class:
|
||
|
||
```ts
|
||
class HelloService extends TransactionBaseService {
|
||
private productService: ProductService
|
||
|
||
constructor(container) {
|
||
super(container)
|
||
this.productService = container.productService
|
||
}
|
||
// ...
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then, you can use that service anywhere in your custom service:
|
||
|
||
```ts
|
||
class HelloService extends TransactionBaseService {
|
||
// ...
|
||
async getProductCount() {
|
||
return await this.productService.count()
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Use a Service
|
||
|
||
In this section, you'll learn how to use services throughout your Medusa server. This includes both Medusa's services and your custom services.
|
||
|
||
:::note
|
||
|
||
Before using your service, make sure you run the `build` command:
|
||
|
||
```bash npm2yarn
|
||
npm run build
|
||
```
|
||

### In a Service
|
||
|
||
To use your custom service in another custom service, you can have easy access to it in the dependencies injected to the constructor of your service:
|
||
|
||
```ts
|
||
class MyService extends TransactionBaseService {
|
||
constructor(container) {
|
||
super(container)
|
||
this.helloService = container.helloService
|
||
}
|
||
// ...
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### In an Endpoint
|
||
|
||
To use your custom service in an endpoint, you can use `req.scope.resolve` passing it the service’s registration name:
|
||
|
||
```ts
|
||
const helloService = req.scope.resolve("helloService")
|
||
|
||
res.json({
|
||
message: helloService.getMessage(),
|
||
})
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### In a Subscriber
|
||
|
||
To use your custom service in a subscriber, you can have easy access to it in the subscriber’s dependencies injected to the constructor of your subscriber:
|
||
|
||
```ts
|
||
class MySubscriber {
|
||
constructor({ helloService, eventBusService }) {
|
||
this.helloService = helloService
|
||
}
|
||
// ...
|
||
}
|
||
```
