Documentation
=============

[](#documentation)

A nice decoupled event dispatch model integrated into Silverstripe using a publish/subscribe mechanism.

Event Module allows registration of listeners to arbitrary events which can be fired anywhere and at anytime. Listeners are any valid **callable** PHP structure as defined by PHP's [call\_user\_func\_array](http://php.net/manual/en/function.call-user-func-array.php). e.g. Closure, function name, array definining Class instance and method (`array($this, 'myMethod')`)

Calling Methods
---------------

[](#calling-methods)

There are two ways to call functions on the event dispatcher that have identical results

- `EventDispatcher::dispatch('myEvent', array('event data', 'event data 2'));`
- `EventDispatcher::inst()->dispatch('myEvent', array('event data', 'event data 2'));`

While the first method is more concise as it uses `__callStatic` to forward the calls the second method will allow your IDE to autocomplete the available methods. The choice is yours.

```
EventDispatcher::inst()->subscribe('myEvent', function($myData1, $myData2) {
    // so somehting with $myData

    return $myData1 . ' ' . $myData2;
});

/** @var array $responses */
$responses = EventDispatcher::inst()->dispatch('myEvent', array('event data', 'event data 2'));

```
