A sane interface to PHP's libevent Extension
Install
Install it via composer:
{
"require": {
"chh/eventor": "*"
}
}
Then do:
# Only if you don't have composer:
% wget http://getcomposer.org/composer.phar
% php composer.phar install
Example
<?php
$base = new Eventor\Base;
$fd = STDIN;
# Call the callback every time data is
# written to $fd.
$event = $base->read($fd, function($event) {
static $requests = 0;
$requests++;
if ($requests == 10) {
$event->base->exit();
}
printf("You wrote: %s", fgets($event->fd));
});
$base->loop();
API
class Eventor
Methods
Eventor\Event read(resource $fd, callable $callback)
Creates a new read event and registers it in the event loop with the
given $callback
.
When data is written to $fd
the callback is called and receives an instance of Eventor\Event
as sole argument.
Eventor\Event write(resource $fd, callable $callback)
Creates a new write event and registers it in the event loop with the
given $callback
.
When data can be written to $fd
the callback is called and receives an instance of
Eventor\Event
as sole argument.
add(Eventor\Event $event)
Register a manually created Event instance in the event loop.
delete(Eventor\Event $event)
Delete the event from the event loop, which causes it to trigger the callback never again.
loop()
Starts the event loop, this blocks until all events are dispatched (if the events
are not persistent) or one of the breakLoop()
or exit()
methods is called
on the Eventor\Base
.
halt()
Breaks the loop immediately, similar to using the break
keyword in a loop.
shutdown(int $timeout = -1)
Gracefully shut down the event loop by finishing the next dispatch and
exiting after the timeout. The $timeout
argument receives the time in
microseconds when the loop should exit, when omitted the loop is exited after
the next dispatch.
class Eventor\Event
The Event
class is useful for more low level access to the libevent extensions'
functionality and is also passed to the event handlers when they're called.
Methods
__construct(resource $fd, int $events, callable $callback)
Initializes the event instance with the file descriptor and the
flags. Events is an integer consisting of one or more of these constants
defined in the Eventor\Event
class:
Event::READ
, listens on writes to the file descriptor.Event::WRITE
Event::SIGNAL
, the file descriptor is handled as signal.Event::TIMEOUT
, triggers the event after a timeout.Event::PERSIST
, event is not deleted from the base after the handler was called. This is set by default, you have to callsetNonPersistent()
to disable this flag.
Example:
<?php
use Eventor\Event,
Eventor\Base;
$base = new Base;
$event = new Event(STDIN, Event::READ, function($event) {
echo fgets($event->fd);
});
$base->add($event);
$base->loop();
setNonPersistent($enable = true)
Sets the event to non-persistent mode, by registering it without setting
the Eventor\Event::PERSIST
flag. This causes the event handler to get triggered only once.
Properties
base
The instance of the Eventor\Base
, to which this event is bound. Is null
in the case this event is not bound to any base.
callback
The callback which gets called when the event is ready.
fd
The fd
property is the file descriptor, to which this event is bound.
