Events

Fire and observe events across components

Pixie includes a lightweight event system that lets components communicate without direct dependencies. A component fires an event, and any component with a matching @Observes method receives it — no wiring, no registration, no interfaces required.

The event object can be any Java type. There are no interfaces to implement or base classes to extend.

• Firing Events
  Use @Event to fire events from components
• Observing Events
  Use @Observes to listen for events
• Before & After
  Observe events before or after they are dispatched
• Built-in Events
  Lifecycle and diagnostic events fired by the Pixie System
