Magento2 performance load : Constructor initialize or use Object manager Directly?

Question

There seems to be multiple different ways to call the helper or model classes.

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
$objectManager->create('Magento\Framework\Pricing\Helper\Data');

Or

protected $helper;
public function __construct(
    Magento\Framework\Pricing\Helper\Data as  $helper,
) {
    $this->helper = $helper;
}

I think second option is a better one.

But is there any server load , memory usage or performance difference between two ?

Answer 1

Yes, there will be performance differences. The first method will be declared in the function of a block or modal, and it will be called and an instance will be created every time the function is called. This uses more resources and memory. Instead the second way will be declared in a constructor which will be called once minimizing the consumption of resources.

I'm not a master Magento guy, hope it helps......

Answer 2

Yes, Object manager should be used only in factories and then as injected in a controller. It take more memory than inject.

Note : for some reason we use object manager.

You should not use the Object Manager directly!

Exception from the rule are:

in static magic methods like __wakeup, serialize, etc in case you should make backward compatibility of constructor in global scope, like in fixtures of integration test. in class that needs only for creation of object like factory, proxy , etc
