Leveraging Events
summary
Explains how concrete pub/sub is implemented in Laravel with event classes that hold data and plain PHP listener classes with handle methods, registered in an Laravel event service provider array or subscriber and matched by name or wildcard, noting 50–60 native events the framework emits. Demo at leveragingevents.com creates fake users, runs a vote quiz and a GDPR gate where a listener returns false to stop propagation (works only synchronously). Queued listeners implement ShouldQueue, failures raise retry/failed events, and outbound tasks post to Thermostat IO while broadcasting over sockets to a Vue front end updating charts in real time.
