README

EventEmitter is a very simple event dispatching library for PHP. It is a fork of Événement aiming to provide additional functionality and PHP 5.6 features like variadic arguments.

It is very strongly inspired by the EventEmitter API found in node.js.

👁 Build Status

Fetch

The recommended way to install EventEmitter is through composer.

Just create a composer.json file for your project:

{
 "require": {
 "peridot/event-emitter": "2.0.*"
 }
}

And run these two commands to install it:

$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ php composer.phar install

Now you can add the autoloader, and you will have access to the library:

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Usage

Creating an Emitter

<?php
$emitter = new Peridot\EventEmitter();

Adding Listeners

<?php
$emitter->on('user.created', function (User $user) use ($logger) {
 $logger->log(sprintf("User '%s' was created.", $user->getLogin()));
});

Emitting Events

<?php
$emitter->emit('user.created', $user);

Tests

$ vendor/bin/phpunit
