Jifty::Event(3)

NAME
Jifty::Event - Event objects for publish/subscribe communication

DESCRIPTION
An event object from the Jifty::PubSub stream.

METHODS

  new($payload)
Constructor. Takes any kind of payload and blesses a scalar reference to it into an Event object.

  publish()
Inserts the event into the pubsub stream. If Jifty is configured into synchronous republishing, then this method runs a "republish" on itself with all current subscriptions implicitly. If not, it's simply inserted into its main channel for asynchronous republishing later.

  filter(@query)
Takes multiple class-specific queries, which are evaluated in order by calling "match".

  republish(@query)
Run "filter" with the queries; if they all succeed, the event is republished into that query-specific channel.

  encode_queries(@query)
Encode queries into some sort of canonical MD5 encoding.

  match($query)
Takes a class-specific query and returns whether it matches.

You almost always want to override this; the default implementation simply always return true;

  render_arguments()
A list of additional things to push into the %ARGS of the region that is about to render this event; see Jifty::Subs::Render for more information.

  data()
This event's payload as a scalar value.
