Remove a specific listener:

$manager->off('My.event', $callback);

Remove a callback from all events:

$manager->off($callback);

Parameters

on()source public

on( string|Cake\Event\EventListenerInterface|null $eventKey = null , array|callable $options = [] , callable|null $callable = null )

Adds a new listener to an event.

A variadic interface to add listeners that emulates jQuery.on().

Binding an EventListenerInterface:

$eventManager->on($listener);

Binding with no options:

$eventManager->on('Model.beforeSave', $callable);

Binding with options:

$eventManager->on('Model.beforeSave', ['priority' => 90], $callable);

Parameters

string|Cake\Event\EventListenerInterface|null $eventKey optional null

The event unique identifier name with which the callback will be associated. If $eventKey is an instance of Cake\Event\EventListenerInterface its events will be bound using the implementedEvents methods.

array|callable $options optional []

Either an array of options or the callable you wish to bind to $eventKey. If an array of options, the priority key can be used to define the order. Priorities are treated as queues. Lower values are called before higher ones, and multiple attachments added to the same priority queue will be treated in the order of insertion.

callable|null $callable optional null

The callable function you want invoked.

Returns

$this

Throws

InvalidArgumentException

When event key is missing or callable is not an instance of Cake\Event\EventListenerInterface.
