Informations about the package event
Hoa is a modular, extensible and
structured set of PHP libraries.
Moreover, Hoa aims at being a bridge between industrial and research worlds.
Hoa\Event
This library allows to use events and listeners in PHP. This is an observer design-pattern implementation.
Installation
With Composer, to include this library into
your dependencies, you need to
require hoa/event
:
For more installation procedures, please read the Source page.
Testing
Before running the test suites, the development dependencies must be installed:
Then, to run all the test suites:

Quick usage
We propose a quick overview of how to use events and listeners.
Events
An event is:
- Asynchronous when registering, because the observable may not exist yet while observers start to observe,
- Anonymous when using, because the observable has no idea how many and what observers are observing,
- It aims at a large diffusion of data through isolated components. Wherever is the observable, we can observe its data.
In Hoa, an event channel has the following form:
hoa://Event/LibraryName/AnId:pseudo-class#anAnchor
. For instance, the
hoa://Event/Exception
channel contains all exceptions that have been thrown.
The hoa://Event/Stream/StreamName:close-before
contains all streams that are
about to close. Thus, the following example will observe all thrown exceptions:
Because attach
expects a callable and because Hoa's callable implementation is
smart, we can directly attach a stream to an event, like:
This way, all exceptions will be printed on the Foo.log
file.
Listeners
Contrary to an event, a listener is:
- Synchronous when registering, because the observable must exist before observers can observe,
- Identified when using, because the observable knows how many observers are observing,
- It aims at a close diffusion of data. The observers must have an access to the observable to observe.
The Hoa\Event\Listenable
interface requires the on
method to be present to
register a listener to a listener ID. For instance, the following example
listens the message
listener ID, i.e. when a message is received by the
WebSocket server, the closure is executed:
