A minimal event loop implementation which automatically detects the ReactPHP, Amp and Swoole event loops and integrates with them. If no event loop is found, it falls back to the built-in PHP register_shutdown_function() to create an event loop.

Interface

Charm\Loop::defer(callable $callback) is the primary function for adding operations to the event loop. This function maps directly to the corresponding loop function in ReactPHP, Amp, Swoole or the internal register_shutdown_function() event loop.

Charm\Loop::onReadable(resource $stream, callable $listener) will invoke the provided $listener as soon as reading the $stream resource will no longer block. The $listener callback will not be invoked until the next iteration of the event loop.

Charm\Loop::onWritable(resource $stream, callable $listener) will invoke the provided $listener as soon as writing the $stream resource will no longer block. The $listener callback will not be invoked until the next iteraton of the event loop.

Charm\Loop::setTimeout(float $seconds, callable $callback) will invoke $callback after $seconds seconds.

Charm\Loop::setInterval(float $interval, callable $callback) will invoke $callback every $seconds second.
