README

Effectra\EventDispatcher is a versatile and lightweight event dispatching library for PHP, designed to simplify the management of events within your application. It adheres to the PSR-14 standard, providing a consistent and extensible way to handle events, listeners, and event propagation.

Features

  • PSR-14 Compliance: Follows the PSR-14 standard for event dispatching, ensuring interoperability with other PHP packages and frameworks.
  • Stoppable Events: Supports stoppable events, allowing events to be halted during propagation if necessary.
  • Flexible Listener Providers: Easily register and manage listeners for specific events through a flexible listener provider interface.
  • Consistent Event Handling: Ensures synchronous execution of listeners in the order they are registered.
  • Simplified API: Provides a straightforward API for dispatching events, making it easy to integrate into your projects.

Installation

You can install Effectra\EventDispatcher via Composer. Run the following command in your project directory:

composer require effectra/event-dispatcher

Usage

1. Creating Events

Create your custom event classes by extending the Effectra\EventDispatcher\Event class. This base class implements the Psr\EventDispatcher\StoppableEventInterface, allowing events to be stoppable.

namespace YourNamespace\Events;

use Effectra\EventDispatcher\Event;

class CustomEvent extends Event
{
    // Your event properties and methods
}

2. Registering Listeners

Create listeners by defining callable functions or classes implementing the necessary logic. Register listeners using the Effectra\EventDispatcher\ListenerProvider class.

namespace YourNamespace;

use Effectra\EventDispatcher\ListenerProvider;
use YourNamespace\Events\CustomEvent;

// Create a listener provider
$listenerProvider = new ListenerProvider();

// Register a listener for the CustomEvent
$listenerProvider->addListener(CustomEvent::class, function (CustomEvent $event) {
    // Handle the CustomEvent
});

// Dispatching the event
$event = new CustomEvent();
$dispatcher = new EventDispatcher($listenerProvider);
$dispatcher->dispatch($event);

3. Stoppable Events

To create a stoppable event, use the stopPropagation() method within your event logic. This will prevent further listeners from being executed.

namespace YourNamespace\Events;

use Effectra\EventDispatcher\Event;

class StoppableEvent extends Event
{
    public function process(): void
    {
        // Your event processing logic

        // Stop further propagation if a condition is met
        if ($condition) {
            $this->stopPropagation();
        }
    }
}
