Laravel Event Subscriber

Installation

1. composer require oldtimeguitarguy/laravel-event-subscriber
2. Add OldTimeGuitarGuy\LaravelEventSubscriber\EventSubscriberProvider::class, to the providers array in config/app.php
3. Run php artisan vendor:publish to copy the config file to config/event_subscriber.php

Usage

1. Create subscribers with php artisan make:event-subscriber SubscriberName
2. Add custom event classes in config/event_subscriber.php

Description

The basic premise of this evolved from here.

I love the idea, but I don't like how you have to define that subscribe method.

This class eliminates that.

Basically create your event subscriber class just like the documentation says, but now, if you extend from this class, you never have to write the subscribe method.

Instead, just prefix all of your event names with on as public methods.

So you would do something like this:

class MyEventSubscriber extends EventSubscriber
{
    public function onUserLogin($event)
    {
        // do stuff
    }

    public function onUserLogout($event)
    {
        // do stuff
    }
}

That's it. There are a couple of caveats:

1. It looks for the events in Laravel's app/Events directory. (or any class you add to the classmap in the config file)
2. You can have a maximum of one subdirectory under app/Events/
3. Be careful about name collisions, even if the event classes exist in different subdirectories under app/Events
