# Events

Every create, update and lifecycle transition dispatches an event you can listen to. Each wraps the affected model in a public $advertisement property:

```php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Event;
use RoundlyConsulting\Advertisements\Events\AdvertisementCreated;
use RoundlyConsulting\Advertisements\Events\AdvertisementUpdated;
use RoundlyConsulting\Advertisements\Events\AdvertisementPublished;
use RoundlyConsulting\Advertisements\Events\AdvertisementUnpublished;
use RoundlyConsulting\Advertisements\Events\AdvertisementExpired;
use RoundlyConsulting\Advertisements\Events\AdvertisementArchived;
use RoundlyConsulting\Advertisements\Events\AdvertisementDeleted;

Event::listen(AdvertisementPublished::class, function (AdvertisementPublished $event): void {
    $event->advertisement; // the published Advertisement
});
```

| Event | Fired by | Payload |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `AdvertisementCreated` | create() | $advertisement |
| `AdvertisementUpdated` | update() | $advertisement |
| `AdvertisementPublished` | publish() — now or scheduled | $advertisement |
| `AdvertisementUnpublished` | unpublish() | $advertisement |
| `AdvertisementExpired` | expire() — now or a future instant | $advertisement |
| `AdvertisementArchived` | archive() | $advertisement |
| `AdvertisementDeleted` | delete() — facade, action or model — and every ad model:prune removes | $advertisement |
| `ImpressionRecorded` | track()->impression() — inline or in the queued job | $event (AdvertisementEvent) |
| `ClickRecorded` | track()->click() — inline or in the queued job | $event (AdvertisementEvent) |

## Tracking events

ImpressionRecorded and ClickRecorded carry the persisted AdvertisementEvent in a public $event property — fired inline, or inside the queued job when tracking is buffered:

```php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Event;
use RoundlyConsulting\Advertisements\Events\ClickRecorded;
use RoundlyConsulting\Advertisements\Events\ImpressionRecorded;

Event::listen(ClickRecorded::class, function (ClickRecorded $event): void {
    $event->event;                  // the persisted AdvertisementEvent
    $event->event->advertisement;   // the clicked Advertisement
    $event->event->country_code;    // stamped viewer country, or null
});
```

All events live in RoundlyConsulting\\Advertisements\\Events. Pruning (model:prune) force-deletes expired ads one by one, so AdvertisementDeleted fires for each pruned ad like for any other delete.
