Laravel Listener Pattern Skill

Use this skill when implementing Event-Driven Architecture.

Workflow

• Create Event: php artisan make:event [EventName]

• Create Listener: php artisan make:listener [ListenerName] --event=[EventName]

Rules

1. Queued Listeners

• If the listener performs IO (Email, API, Notification), it MUST implement ShouldQueue .

class SendWelcomeEmail implements ShouldQueue { // ... }

2. Dependency Injection

• Inject dependencies in __construct .

• Access event data in handle(EventName $event) .

3. Verification

• Ensure the mapping exists. Laravel 11/12 detects it automatically if the listener type-hints the event.
