Broadcast Eloquent events

By default, Laravel Eloquent events are dispatched internally. This package enables the events to be dispatched to an event bus instead.

Installation

Require the package with composer require asseco-voice/laravel-eloquent-event-broadcaster. Service provider for Laravel will be installed automatically.

Using STOMP as a queue driver will support the communication between multiple Laravel services because it will be dispatching events with raw data so that it doesn't break on the other side.

This is completely optional however. If you're not using Laravel for microservices, your data will be serialized the standard Laravel way.

Usage

Make the model use a BroadcastsEloquentEvents and created, updated, deleted and restored events will be automatically dispatched to a eloquent::model_events queue.

Raw data being sent consists of:

• payload key containing original model serialized to array.
• Let your model implement AppendsData interface to append additional data to payload.
• Changes (_changes) array holding old/new values and type/ID of entity that changed the model. Used for auditing purposes (can be disabled through config).
• Headers consisting of:
  • service - lowercase snake app name
  • model - full model namespace and model name
  • action - which action was performed on the model (pulled from registered actions which can be appended or modified in the config)
• Let your model implement AppendsHeaders interface to append additional headers.

You can tweak the configuration publishing it with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=asseco-broadcaster-config
