### Description

[](#description)

> **Gossip** is a tiny event broadcasting library written by [Selvin Ortiz](https://selvinortiz.com)

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

- [Composer](http://getcomposer.org) and [selvinortiz/gossip](https://packagist.org/packages/selvinortiz/gossip)

### Install

### Usage

[](#usage)

> Event broadcasting is a fancy way of saying that **Gossip** allows you to register your *responders* to *listen* for a specific event and when that event is *whispered*, it can respond.

```
use SelvinOrtiz\Gossip\Gossip;

class App
{
	public function init()
	{
		Gossip::instance()->whisper(new Event('app.init'));
	}

	public function end()
	{
		Gossip::instance()->whisper(new Event('app.end', [$this]));
	}

	public function log($message)
	{
		// Log a $message to db or file system
	}
}

// Called when app.init is whisper()ed
Gossip::instance()->listen('app.init', function (Event &$event) {
	// Bootstrap third party code, initialize services, etc.
});

// Called only the first time app.end is whisper()ed
Gossip::instance()->listenOnce('app.end', function (Event &$event, $app) {
	// Close db connections, destroy sessions, etc.
	$app->log('Application is ending...');
});
```
