Observers

An observer is a class will be called after an insert, update or delete record in the DB.

Example

<?php
// This observer will be called after insert, update or delete a record on the table 'triggerTable'
$myRepository->addObserver(new class($this->infoMapper->getTable()) implements ObserverProcessorInterface {
private $table;

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

public function process(ObserverData $observerData)
{
// Do something here
}

public function getObserverdTable(): string
{
return $this->table;
}
});

The ObserverData class contains the following properties:

  • getTable(): The table name that was affected
  • getEvent(): The event that was triggered. Can be 'insert', 'update' or 'delete'
  • getData(): The data that was inserted or updated. It is null in case of delete.
  • getOldData(): The data before update. In case of insert comes null, and in case of delete comes with the param filters.
  • getRepository(): The repository is listening to the event (the same as $myRepository)

Note: The observer will not be called if the insert, update or delete is called using the DBDriver object.
