Some help needed with understanding

[joshhornby]

Hey,

I love the idea of the package but the documentation isn't very clear and I have spotted a few mistakes. Is the repo on Github?

Anyway I am having some difficulty understanding how to set the listeners up correctly, so far I have this:

$emitter = new Emitter();

$emitter->addListener('NewIssueEvent', function ($event) {
    echo $event->getName(); 
});

$emitter->emit(new NewIssueEvent);

Now what is the correct way to call my listener? is it as simple as newing one up? new NewIssueEventListener(); But this doesn't seem correct as then what is the point in the handle function?

I'd love a quick example set up of class based events and listeners. Thanks 👍

@joshhornby Hi Josh, sorry for the late reply. I had already fixed this problem by working on the documentation but forgot to respond to this issue. The class based listener is places where the closure is places. So:

$emitter->addListener('NewIssueEvent', new NewIssueListener);

Does that answer your question?

PS: I've updated the documentation, which is located on the gh-pages branch.

An addListener example is added to this page: http://event.thephpleague.com/1.0/listeners/class-based-listeners/
