Event management system for WordPress

Overview

This event management system provides a centralized way to handle WordPress hooks (actions and filters) through an event subscriber pattern. It allows you to organize hook callbacks into dedicated subscriber classes, making your WordPress code more maintainable and testable by decoupling hook registration from business logic.

Purpose

This system provides a robust and scalable solution for managing events within WordPress, following best practices for event-driven architecture.

Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require wp-media/event-manager

Initialization

Initialize the Event Manager in your WordPress plugin or theme:

use WPMedia\EventManager\EventManager;
use WPMedia\EventManager\PluginApiManager;

$event_manager = new EventManager(new PluginApiManager());
$event_manager->add_subscriber(new YourEventSubscriber());

Usage

Creating an Event Subscriber

Implement the SubscriberInterface to listen to WordPress hooks:

use WPMedia\EventManager\SubscriberInterface;

class YourEventSubscriber implements SubscriberInterface
{
    public static function get_subscribed_events(): array
    {
        return [
            'init' => 'on_init',
            'wp_enqueue_scripts' => ['on_enqueue_scripts', 10],
        ];
    }

    public function on_init()
    {
        // Handle init hook
    }

    public function on_enqueue_scripts()
    {
        // Handle script enqueuing
    }
}
