Laravel Events

#php #laravel #events #listeners

Events provide a simple observer implementation which allows a user to subscribe and listen to various events triggered in the web application. All the event classes in Laravel are stored in the app/Events folder and the listeners are stored in the app/Listeners folder.

Lets start

Run these commands

php artisan event:generate
php artisan make:event UserRegisteredEvent
php artisan make:listener SendMailListener --event="UserRegisteredEvent"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

UserRegisteredEvent.php 

<?php

namespace App\Events;

use Illuminate\Broadcasting\Channel;
use Illuminate\Broadcasting\InteractsWithSockets;
use Illuminate\Broadcasting\PresenceChannel;
use Illuminate\Broadcasting\PrivateChannel;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Broadcasting\ShouldBroadcast;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Events\Dispatchable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;

class UserRegisteredEvent
{
    use Dispatchable, InteractsWithSockets, SerializesModels;

    public $title;
    public $body;
    public $to;

    public function __construct($title, $body, $to)
    {
        $this->title = $title;
        $this->body = $body;
        $this->to = $to;
    }

    /**
     * Get the channels the event should broadcast on.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Broadcasting\Channel|array
     */
    public function broadcastOn()
    {
        return new PrivateChannel('channel-name');
    }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
<?php

namespace App\Listeners;

use App\Events\UserRegisteredEvent;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;

class SendMailListener implements ShouldQueue
{
    /**
     * Create the event listener.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Handle the event.
     *
     * @param  UserRegisteredEvent  $event
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle(UserRegisteredEvent $event)
    {
        echo "Start sending email".PHP_EOL;
        sleep(2);
        echo "Email sended to {$event->to}".PHP_EOL;
    }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

EventServiceProvider.php 

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Auth\Events\Registered;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Support\Providers\EventServiceProvider as ServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Event;

class EventServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * The event listener mappings for the application.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $listen = [
        'App\Events\UserRegistered' => [
            'App\Listeners\SendRegistrationEmail',
        ],
    ];

    /**
     * Register any events for your application.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();

        //
    }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now add somethings like this in your controller for example 

        for ($i=0; $i < 10; $i++) {
            event(new UserRegisteredEvent("hi", "how are you", "alex@gmail.com"));
        }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

final step is running queue 

php artisan queue:work
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Done
