Using Events
============

Kanboard use internally the `Symfony EventDispatcher
component <https://symfony.com/doc/2.3/components/event_dispatcher/index.html>`__
to manage internal events.

Event Listening
---------------

.. code:: php

    $this->on('app.bootstrap', function($container) {
        // Do something
    });

-  The first argument is the event name (string)
-  The second argument is a PHP callable function (closure or class
   method)

Adding a new event
------------------

To add a new event, you have to call the method ``register()`` of the
class ``Kanboard\Core\Event\EventManager``:

.. code:: php

    $this->eventManager->register('my.event.name', 'My new event description');

These events can be used by other components of Kanboard like automatic
actions.
