Events & Listeners

In this episode, we introduce event-based programming to the survey application and take a big step toward a decoupled, scalable architecture.

Instead of tightly coupling business logic inside controllers, we model real application behavior using events and listeners — allowing the system to react naturally to state changes and user actions. This is where the workflow starts to feel alive.

What You’ll Learn:

⚡ Event-Based Programming Concepts:
• What events are (and what they are not)
• Decoupling producers from consumers
• Synchronous vs asynchronous execution
• Why events scale better than conditionals

🛠 Hands-On Laravel Events:
• Creating observable events
• Creating multiple listeners
• Dispatching events from your domain
• Queuing listeners for background execution
• Convention-based auto-discovery
