`getOwner()`

Returns the owner (DI container) associated with a framework object.

Since Ember 4/5 (Octane) Spec ↗

Syntax

getOwner(object): Owner | undefined

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`object`	`object`	No	A framework object created by the container.

Returns

Owner | undefined — The owning ApplicationInstance.

Examples

import Component from '@glimmer/component';
import { getOwner } from '@ember/owner';

export default class FeatureComponent extends Component {
  get config() {
    return getOwner(this).lookup('service:config');
  }
}

Notes

Import getOwner from @ember/owner (the modern path). It only works on objects the container created; plain POJOs return undefined. Use it for dynamic lookups not expressible with @service.
