This module dispatches events whenever an entity is created, updated, or deleted. It provides abstract classes that developers can extend to easily implement custom logic in response to these entity operations, serving as an alternative to using Drupal's traditional hooks.
Module which dispatches events for entity create, update, delete.
Provides abstract classes for event listeners for you to extend in your own modules to 'do stuff' on entity operations. Can use as a replacement for hook_entity_[update/insert/delete] from within your module file.
Abstract classes:
EntityEventSubscriber
EntityEventInsertSubscriber
EntityEventUpdateSubscriber
EntityEventDeleteSubscriber
EntityEventPredeleteSubscriber
EntityEventPresaveSubscriber
Extend these classes with your own module subscribers.
Example implementation
namespace Drupal\mymodule\EventSubscriber;
use Drupal\entity_events\Event\EntityEvent;
use Drupal\entity_events\EventSubscriber\EntityEventInsertSubscriber;
class MyModuleSubscriber extends EntityEventInsertSubscriber {
public function onEntityInsert(EntityEvent $event) {
// Implement your logic here.
}
}
Remember to add event listeners to your services.yml.file
e.g.
services:
mymodule.subscriber:
class: Drupal\mymodule\EventSubscriber\MyModuleSubscriber

- {name: event_subscriber}Drupal Core since 11.1 supports hooks in classes out of the box. See change record here https://www.drupal.org/node/3442349 . It is strongly recommended to use the core feature instead of this module.
