Event Module for Kohana 3.x
Lightweight, intuitive event-processing library for PHP 5.3+ applications running on Kohana 3.x (tested on 3.2 and 3.3)
The Kohana Event Module implements a fast event-processing engine for use with developing event driven applications in PHP 5.3+. It's incredibly simple, driven by a robust engine that allows for event chaining, halting, states, asynchronous execution and robust subscriptions.
Features
- Asynchronous event firing
- Robust event subscription
- Stateful events
- Chaining events
- High performance oriented
- High test coverage
- ZERO configuration
- Priority based subscription
Writing Code
// For a test, drop this into any method in any controller or class
// This attaches your callback to a custom event which can be a string, function, etc
Event::instance()->listen(
'EVENT_ECHO_TEST',
function ($event) {
echo '<strong>Event Fired!!!</strong><br />';
var_dump($event);
}
);
// Then drop this into another function to create the hook for the event listener
Event::instance()->fire('EVENT_ECHO_TEST');
Limitations & Issues
- Timeout and Interval methods are not realistically possible in PHP ... although written as an extension this would be possible.
- Stacks are not maintained within events resulting in untraceable stacks.
- Since this is based on the prggmr framework, it inherits the same limitations and issues, though we plan to extend and resolve those over time.
