Events

[Arcesilas]

Using events would allow user to easily add custom functionalities.

Simple example: when an article is displayed, increment a counter and use this value to select the X most popular articles. They can also be used to notify an admin that an author has published an article, etc.

Back-end events:

• ArticleIsCreated
• ArticleIsDeleted
• ArticleIsModified
• ArticleIsPublished
• CategoryIsCreated
• CategoryIsDeleted
• CategoryIsModified

Front-end events:

• ArticleIsDisplayed
• CategoryIsDisplayed
• IndexIsDisplayed

I think that only the Request is required to access time, query parameters, IP, etc.

As for my previous suggestions, I can work on this feature and provide a PR.

Great suggestions I really like the idea
I'll try to work on this today
Regarding the ArticleIsDisplayed event, I found this package to calculate the number of views for the models based on the IP but it has Redis as dep.

I think ArticleIsDisplayed will be postponed after I recreate the internal architecture of this package to allow external custom packages, then we can add this idea as an optional package like what I did with LaRecipe package
