that you have :ref:`autoconfigure <services-autoconfigure>` enabled. You
can also manually add the ``container.service_subscriber`` tag.

The injected service is an instance of :class:`Symfony\\Component\\DependencyInjection\\ServiceLocator`
which implements both the PSR-11 ``ContainerInterface`` and :class:`Symfony\\Contracts\\Service\\ServiceProviderInterface`.
It is also a callable and a countable::
A service locator is a PSR11 container that contains a set of services,
but only instantiates them when they are actually used. Let's take a closer
look at this part::

// ...
$handler = $this->locator->get($commandClass);

return $handler->handle($command);

In the example above, the ``$handler`` service is only instantiated when the
``$this->locator->get($commandClass)`` method is called.

You can also type-hint the service locator argument with
:class:`Symfony\\Contracts\\Service\\ServiceCollectionInterface` instead of
:class:`Psr\\Container\\ContainerInterface`. By doing so, you'll be able to
count and iterate over the services of the locator::

// ...
$numberOfHandlers = count($this->locator);
$nameOfHandlers = array_keys($this->locator->getProvidedServices());
// ...
$handler = ($this->locator)($commandClass);

return $handler->handle($command);
// you can iterate through all services of the locator
foreach ($this->locator as $serviceId => $service) {
// do something with the service, the service id or both
}

.. versionadded:: 7.1

The :class:`Symfony\\Contracts\\Service\\ServiceCollectionInterface` was
introduced in Symfony 7.1.
