A small event dispatcher for PHP
================================

[](#a-small-event-dispatcher-for-php)

Need events? Here you go! No fuzz, no overcomplicated instantiation or bloated classes.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Git clone or use composer to download the package with the following command:

```
composer require maer/events 0.*

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Include composers autoloader or include the files in the `src/` folder manually. *(start with the file `EventInterface.php`)*

#### Create a new instance

[](#create-a-new-instance)

```
$event = new Maer\Events\Event();

```

#### Add a listener

[](#add-a-listener)

```
$event->addListener('start_something', 'some-id', function($name) {
    echo "Coolest ever: {$name}";
});

```

#### Trigger/Emit an event

[](#triggeremit-an-event)

```
$response = $event->emit('start_something', ['Chuck Norris']);

// Echoes: Coolest ever: Chuck Norris

```

#### Remove a listener

[](#remove-a-listener)

```
$event->removeListener('start_something', 'some-id');

```

Facade/Factory
--------------

[](#facadefactory)

If you don't want to store the Event class instance yourself, you can use the combined Facade/Factory class.

#### Use it as a Factory

[](#use-it-as-a-factory)

This will always return the same instance

```
$event = Maer\Events\EventFacade::getInstance();

```

#### To use it as a Facade

[](#to-use-it-as-a-facade)

This will use the same instance as getInstance() returns so you can combine the two

```
Maer\Events\EventFacade::addListener(...);

Maer\Events\EventFacade::removeListener(...);

$response = Maer\Events\EventFacade::emit(...);

//... and any other method available in the Event class

```

More...
-------

[](#more)

Above is the basic usage but there is more... I'll update this guide soon.
