Firing and listening

You can fire or listen to events like this:

PHP

<?php

$manager->eventDispatcher()->listen('an-event', function() {
	print "hello";
})
  
$manager->eventDispatcher()->fire('an-event'); // outputs "hello"

By default you will find an $events property in AbstractEvent that will be used later on $booter->addListeners()

📘

Obviously you can overide this behaviour using $event->setEvents() / $manager->eventDispatcher()->setEvents() or extending the class

PHP

<?php

...

class AbstractEvent implements EventInterface {

    /**
     * Event name => Extension method name
     *
     * This will be used in $booter->addListeners()
     * thas will listen to 'install.{extensionName}' and
     * 'uninstall.{extensionName}' and will call the extension method
     * 'install' or 'uninstall'
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $events = [
        'install' => 'install',
        'uninstall' => 'uninstall',
    ];
    
    ...
