# Feature: #96659 - ContentObject Registration via service configuration {#feature-96659}

See [forge#96659](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/96659)

## Description {#description}

ContentObjects such as `TEXT` or `COA` for rendering content blocks in TYPO3
Frontend via TypoScript are now registered via the service configuration.

This way registration is done during build-time and not on every TYPO3 request
and dependency injection can be used in ContentObjects.

The registration was previously done in an extension's `ext_localconf.php`
via `$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['ContentObjects']`.

## Impact {#impact}

Registering a custom ContentObject is now done in an extension's
`Configuration/Services.yaml`:

```yaml
MyCompany\MyPackage\ContentObject\CustomContentObject:
    tags:
        - name: frontend.contentobject
          identifier: 'MY_OBJ'
```
