README

An single instance event manager, implemented with a simple php function. It allows you to attach and detach listeners to named events, trigger events and interrupt listeners from executing.

Requirements

  • php >= 5.3

Installation

$ composer require kanellov/php-events

Basic features

  • Set priority to listeners for each event. When attaching a listener, you can set the priority by specifying an integer as the last argument. Listeners with greater priority value will be triggered first.
  • Collect listeners results when triggering an event. The return values from each listener are collected when triggering and returned in an array, ordered according to listeners.
  • Stop event from propagating. Events can be stopped at any time from listeners. Each listener receives a callable as the last argument, which prevents triggering the following listeners. The stopped flag is contained in the triggering results.
  • Wildcard event. You can use the wildcard event * to attach to all events. If priority is specified it will be used for this listener for any event triggered.

Usage

Attaching listeners

  • \Knlv\events('on', string $event_name, callable $listener[, int $priority]); registers a $listener for event $event_name
  • \Knlv\events('on', '*', callable $listener[, int priority]) registers a $listener for all events

Note: All listeners receive an extra last argument. It' s a callable that stops event propagation if called.

Triggering event

  • \Knlv\events('trigger', string $event_name [, mixed $...]); triggers the $event_name event and passes args to listeners.

Detaching listeners

  • \Knlv\events('off'); detaches all listeners
  • \Knlv\events('off', $event_name) detaches all listeners for event $event_name
  • \Knlv\events('off', $event_name, $listener) detaches a certain $listener for event $event_name

Examples

Attach listeners and trigger event

\Knlv\events('on', 'event_name', function ($value) {
    return strtolower($value);
});

\Knlv\events('on', 'event_name', function ($value) {
    return strtoupper($value);
});

$result = \Knlv\events('trigger', 'event_name', 'TEST');

var_dump($result);

/*
array(2) {
  'stopped' =>
  bool(false)
  'results' =>
  array(2) {
    [0] =>
    string(4) "test"
    [1] =>
    string(4) "TEST"
  }
}
*/

Specifying priority

\Knlv\events('on', 'event_name', function ($value) {
    return strtolower($value);
});

\Knlv\events('on', 'event_name', function ($value) {
    return strtoupper($value);
}, 10);

$result = \Knlv\events('trigger', 'event_name', 'TEST');

var_dump($result);

/*
array(2) {
  'stopped' =>
  bool(false)
  'results' =>
  array(2) {
    [0] =>
    string(4) "TEST"
    [1] =>
    string(4) "test"
  }
}
*/

Stopping event propagation

\Knlv\events('on', 'event_name', function ($value, $stop) {
    $stop();
    return strtolower($value);
});

\Knlv\events('on', 'event_name', function ($value) {
    return strtoupper($value);
});

$result = \Knlv\events('trigger', 'event_name', 'TEST');

var_dump($result);

/*
array(2) {
  'stopped' =>
  bool(true)
  'results' =>
  array(1) {
    [0] =>
    string(4) "test"
  }
}
*/
