Events can be useful if you need to listen out for when certain things in your application happen.

Simple Commerce provides a couple of events to help make your life easier.

Listening for events

First, you'll need a Listener class. You can generate one by running php artisan make:listener NameOfListener. It'll generate a file in App\Listeners.

In the handle function of your event listener, that's where you write your logic that you need to happen when a certain event is triggered.

1class NameOfListener
2{
3    public function handle(NameOfEvent $event)
4    {
5        //
6    }
7}

Before your listener will actually listen to an event, you need to hook it up. You can do this in your EventServiceProvider, located in App\Providers.

1protected $listen = [
2    NameOfEvent::class => [
3        NameOfListener::class,
4    ],
5];

And there you go, you have a listener listening to an event!
