Sun, 11 Oct 2015 00:00:00 +0000

In this tutorial we will create a custom event for symfony2 bundle.

Assuming you have downloaded the symfony-standard distribution to play.

Create HktEventBundle via sensio generator bundle.

<?php
php app/console generate:bundle --namespace=Hkt/EventBundle --dir src --no-interaction

Create the event class.

<?php
// src/Hkt/EventBundle/Event/PageViewed.php
namespace Hkt\EventBundle\Event;

use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\Event;

class PageViewed extends Event
{
    protected $name;

    public function __construct($name)
    {
        $this->name = $name;
    }

    public function getName()
    {
        return $this->name;
    }
}

Add as many methods/properties which are needed from the listener. Instead of creating an event class we can make use of generic event also.
