caridea-event

Caridea is a miniscule PHP application library. This shrimpy fellow is what you'd use when you just want some helping hands and not a full-blown framework., _(*1)

, _(*2)

This is its event library. It has interfaces for Publisher and Listener, and an abstract class for Event., _(*3)

If you'd like a concrete implementation of Publisher, try caridea-container., _(*4)

Examples

Just a few quick examples., _(*9)

Let's say you have defined these classes, _(*10)

namespace Acme\Foo;

class CustomEvent extends \Caridea\Event\Event
{
}

class CustomEventListener implements \Caridea\Event\Listener
{
    public function notify(\Caridea\Event\Event $event)
    {
        if ($event instanceof CustomEvent) {
            // do something here
        }
    }
}

A publisher can be invoked like this:, _(*11)

// Here, we assume that $publisher implements a \Caridea\Event\Publisher and that
// We have somehow registered an \Acme\Foo\CustomEventListener with it.
$publisher->publish(new \Acme\Foo\CustomEvent());
// Our CustomEventListener has its ->notify method invoked.

There's a no-op implementation of Publisher available as \Caridea\Event\NullPublisher., _(*12)

PublisherAware

For classes which need the event publisher, you can make use of the PublisherAware interface, and optionally the PublisherSetter trait., _(*13)

class MyClass implements \Caridea\Event\PublisherAware
{
    use \Caridea\Event\PublisherSetter;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->setPublisher(new \Caridea\Event\NullPublisher());
    }
}
