Using Events

2.3 新版功能: Console events were introduced in Symfony 2.3.

The Application class of the Console component allows you to optionally hook into the lifecycle of a console application via events. Instead of reinventing the wheel, it uses the Symfony EventDispatcher component to do the work:

use Symfony\Component\Console\Application;
use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventDispatcher;

$dispatcher = new EventDispatcher();

$application = new Application();
$application->setDispatcher($dispatcher);
$application->run();

The ConsoleEvents::COMMAND Event

Typical Purposes: Doing something before any command is run (like logging which command is going to be executed), or displaying something about the event to be executed.

Just before executing any command, the ConsoleEvents::COMMAND event is dispatched. Listeners receive a ConsoleCommandEvent event:

use Symfony\Component\Console\Event\ConsoleCommandEvent;
use Symfony\Component\Console\ConsoleEvents;

$dispatcher->addListener(ConsoleEvents::COMMAND, function (ConsoleCommandEvent $event) {
    // get the input instance
    $input = $event->getInput();

    // get the output instance
    $output = $event->getOutput();

    // get the command to be executed
    $command = $event->getCommand();

    // write something about the command
    $output->writeln(sprintf('Before running command <info>%s</info>', $command->getName()));

    // get the application
    $application = $command->getApplication();
});

The ConsoleEvents::TERMINATE Event

Typical Purposes: To perform some cleanup actions after the command has been executed.

After the command has been executed, the ConsoleEvents::TERMINATE event is dispatched. It can be used to do any actions that need to be executed for all commands or to cleanup what you initiated in a ConsoleEvents::COMMAND listener (like sending logs, closing a database connection, sending emails, ...). A listener might also change the exit code.

Listeners receive a ConsoleTerminateEvent event:

use Symfony\Component\Console\Event\ConsoleTerminateEvent;
use Symfony\Component\Console\ConsoleEvents;

$dispatcher->addListener(ConsoleEvents::TERMINATE, function (ConsoleTerminateEvent $event) {
    // get the output
    $output = $event->getOutput();

    // get the command that has been executed
    $command = $event->getCommand();

    // display something
    $output->writeln(sprintf('After running command <info>%s</info>', $command->getName()));

    // change the exit code
    $event->setExitCode(128);
});

小技巧

This event is also dispatched when an exception is thrown by the command. It is then dispatched just before the ConsoleEvents::EXCEPTION event. The exit code received in this case is the exception code.

The ConsoleEvents::EXCEPTION Event

Typical Purposes: Handle exceptions thrown during the execution of a command.

Whenever an exception is thrown by a command, the ConsoleEvents::EXCEPTION event is dispatched. A listener can wrap or change the exception or do anything useful before the exception is thrown by the application.

Listeners receive a ConsoleExceptionEvent event:

use Symfony\Component\Console\Event\ConsoleExceptionEvent;
use Symfony\Component\Console\ConsoleEvents;

$dispatcher->addListener(ConsoleEvents::EXCEPTION, function (ConsoleExceptionEvent $event) {
    $output = $event->getOutput();

    $command = $event->getCommand();

    $output->writeln(sprintf('Oops, exception thrown while running command <info>%s</info>', $command->getName()));

    // get the current exit code (the exception code or the exit code set by a ConsoleEvents::TERMINATE event)
    $exitCode = $event->getExitCode();

    // change the exception to another one
    $event->setException(new \LogicException('Caught exception', $exitCode, $event->getException()));
});
