Local Eventing
==============

[](#local-eventing)

A simple php trait that allows for execution of local methods in an eventing like fashion. Add methods to a class using this trait following a naming convention and they will be executed when the local event is fired.

```
use josephlavin\localEventing\LocalEventing;

class dummy
{
    use LocalEventing;

    public function save()
    {
        // do your saving logic...
        $this->fireLocalEvent('saved');
    }

    protected function __onLocalEvent_saved_send_notification()
    {
        // Logic here to send notification...
    }

    protected function __onLocalEvent_saved_log_event()
    {
        // Logic for logging here...
    }
}
```

Event Listener Method Naming Convention
---------------------------------------

[](#event-listener-method-naming-convention)

All event listener methods must be named in this fashion: `__onLocalEvent_[event]_[description]()`

- `__onLocalEvent_` : namespace for the local eventing system
- `[event]`: the same string given to `$this->fireLocalEvent('event')`
- `[description]`: a simple description of what this method does

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
$ composer require josephlavin/local-eventing

```

Use Case
--------

[](#use-case)

Lets say we have a basic model type class which fires local events:

```
class BaseModel
{
    use LocalEventing;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->fireLocalEvent('created');
    }

    public function insert()
    {
        $this->fireLocalEvent('preInsert');
        // the insert logic...
        $this->fireLocalEvent('postInsert');
    }
}
```

We can create another trait that relies on the LocalEventing trait and adds `__onLocalEvent__` methods. Notice how this trait has an abstract method `_require_trait_LocalEventing`. This serves as a reminder to the developer that this trait relies on the `LocalEventing` trait to work properly.

```
trait UuidPrimaryKey
{
    // reminder that we must also use LocalEventing Trait
    abstract protected function _require_trait_LocalEventing();

    protected function __onLocalEvent_preInsert_populate_uuid()
    {
        // generate and set a uuid primary key here...
    }
}
```

Now any models (that extend base model) can use the `UuidPrimaryKey` trait and gain that functionality.

```
class MyModel extends BaseModel
{
    use UuidPrimaryKey;
}
```
