Slim Event Dispatcher

This library is an implementation of League\Event for Slim Framework. This works with the latest version of Slim (V3).

Installation

It's recommended that you use Composer to install Slim Event Dispatcher.

$ composer require aneek/slim-event-dispatcher "^1.0"

This will install Slim Event Dispatcher and all required dependencies. This package requires PHP 5.6 or newer. Though version 1.x is not recommended for PHP 7.0 and above. The next major version (v2.x) will support PHP 7.x.

Usage

This is not a Slim Middleware but a package which integrates with your Slim application by extending the SlimEventManager class and adding it to Slim's dependency container. Currently there are two ways of integration.

Using Class Constructor

Slim\Event\SlimEventManager class accepts an array argument in it's constructor and initializes all Listeners (more information on listeners).

The below file content serves as a application loader file for Slim Framework:

<?php

use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;
use Slim\Container;
use Slim\App;
use Slim\Event\SlimEventManager;

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$settings = [
    'settings' => [
        'determineRouteBeforeAppMiddleware' => true,
        'displayErrorDetails' => true,
    ],
];

// Array of event Listeners
$events = [
    'event.one' => [
        // First element is the FQCN class. This element is mandatory.
        // Second element is the listener priority but this is not mandatory.
        [\FooListener::class, 100],
        [\BarListener::class]    
    ],
    'event.two' => [
        [\BazListener::class]
    ]
];

$container = new Container();
$container['event_manager'] = function ($c) use($events) {
    $emitter = new SlimEventManager($events);
    return $emitter;
};

$app = new App($container);

$app->get('/hello/{name}', function (Request $request, Response $response, $args) {
    $this->get('event_manager')->emit('event.one', 'parameter_one', 'parameter_two');
    return $response->write("Hello, " . $args['name']);
});

$app->run();

Using add Method with Callable

<?php

use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;
use Slim\Container;
use Slim\App;
use Slim\Event\SlimEventManager;

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$settings = [
    'settings' => [
        'determineRouteBeforeAppMiddleware' => true,
        'displayErrorDetails' => true,
    ],
];


$container = new Container();
// Add Event manager to dependency.
$container['event_manager'] = function ($c) {
    $emitter = new SlimEventManager();
    return $emitter;
};

$app = new App($container);

$app->getContainer()->get('event_manager')->add('event.one', function ($event, $param_1, $param_2) {
    // Do processing of the event.
    echo $param_1; // Prints parameter_one
    echo $param_2; // Prints parameter_two
});


$app->get('/hello/{name}', function (Request $request, Response $response, $args) {
    $this->get('event_manager')->emit('event.one', 'parameter_one', 'parameter_two');
    return $response->write("Hello, " . $args['name']);
});

$app->run();

Creating Events or Listeners

Events or Listeners can be created by following the below guides from League\Event.

• Event creation guide.
• Listener creation guide.
