Event

Event class and methods

This library is abandoned. Please consider using a different library.

Opis\Events\Event is the standard event class provided by Opis Events.

Creating events

To create a new event you have to create an instance of Opis\Events\Event.

use Opis\Events\Event;

// Cancellable event
$event1 = new Event("event.name.1", true);

// Non-cancellable event
$event2 = new Event("event.name.2", false);

If an event is not cancellable, the stop method will have no effect when called.

When a event is cancelled, other listeners will not be invoked.

Please note that NOT all events should be cancellable.

In order to fire (dispatch) the event, you have to pass it to the dispatch method of the event dispatcher

You can also fire a new basic event using emit, in this case the emit method itself will create and dispatch a standard event object.
