Most of you know me for my consistency, a golden arrow in my blog series. I've written 1000 articles in 1008 days! Almost an article a day, and my honeymoon was the only holiday I ever took. I'm super proud of this achievement; it has been a fantasti...

It's not the first time I'll be talking about community. I think it's an essential aspect of any successful tool. This shows in my previous explorations of Astro, Medusa, and now Vendure as well. All these products thrive in a super open, welcoming, ...

The cool part about Vendure is how easy it is to set up and how abstract each layer is. Basically, we get the following elements: External database Server Worker Admin UI Frontend While this is amazing, it also brings a bit of complexity when it co...

The previous article looked at customizing Vendure on a data and process level. In this article, we'll look at customizing emails, as they are often a big part of a webshop system. We'll be looking at two different layers of customization for customi...

Even though Vendure is a pretty significant project out of the box, in some cases, we might want to go in and modify some elements to work to our specific use case. In this article, I'll take a high-level look at some elements we can customize within...

We first looked at custom subscribers for medusa. And before that, we created our first custom service.
Let's look at how we can combine the two for maximum flexibility.
Note: If you haven't read the above-linked articles, please read those first.
The process here will be very similar to injecting services, but how we do it is slightly different.
Open up your subscriber file and start by declaring the service you want to inject.
class ProductNotifierSubscriber {
translateService;
constructor({ translateService, eventBusService }) {
this.translateService = translateService;
eventBusService.subscribe("product.created", this.handleProduct);
}
}
As you can see, we declare the translateService our custom service. Then inside the constructor, we assign it to the variable, gaining access to it in this file.
To use it, we can do the following:
handleProduct = async (data) => {
this.translateService.translateProduct(data.id).then((title) => {
console.log("New product title: " + title)
})
};
And that's precisely how we can attach our custom service to fire off inside the subscriber.

There is no limit to how many services you can inject, but be aware they might bloat your subscribers.
