Yii event is the first framework-specific package from Yii 3 family. Its goal is to make configuring events convenient. For the applications it provides three main config files:

• events.php - Common event handlers for web and console.
• events-web.php - Web event handlers.
• events-console.php - Console event handlers.

The config syntax is the following:

return [
    EventName::class => [
        // Just a regular closure, it will be called from the Dispatcher "as is".
        static fn (EventName $event) => someStuff($event),
        
        // A regular closure with additional dependency. All the parameters after the first one (the event itself)
        // will be resolved from your DI container within `yiisoft/injector`.
        static fn (EventName $event, DependencyClass $dependency) => someStuff($event),
        
        // An example with a regular callable. If the `staticMethodName` method contains some dependencies,
        // they will be resolved the same way as in the previous example.
        [SomeClass::class, 'staticMethodName'],
        
        // Non-static methods are allowed too. In this case `SomeClass` will be instantiated by your DI container.
        [SomeClass::class, 'methodName'],
        
        // An object of a class with the `__invoke` method implemented
        new InvokableClass(),
        
        // In this case the `InvokableClass` with the `__invoke` method will be instantiated by your DI container
        InvokableClass::class,
        
        // Any definition of an invokable class may be here while your `$container->has('the definition)` 
        'di-alias'
    ],
];

For convenience, there's a configuration checker that is used in current application templates to check if all handlers declared are correct.

First release of translator package was published. This package allows translating messages into several languages. It can work with both Yii-based applications and standalone PHP applications.
