Instant Store Events

Events play a crucial role in modern applications, allowing them to instantly respond to changes in stored data. Monitoring and reacting to file and store-related events, such as the creation, modification, or deletion of files, is essential for maintaining up-to-date records, triggering workflows, and ensuring synchronization across various parts of the system.

Types of Events

Store events:

• storeCreated - triggers when a new Store is created in your Context
• storeDeleted - triggers when a Store is deleted from your Context
• storeUpdated - triggers when a Store is updated in your Context
• storeStatsChanged - triggers when a file is created or deleted from a Store

File events:

• storeFileCreated - triggers when a file is uploaded to a Store
• storeFileDeleted - triggers when a file is deleted from a Store
• storeFileUpdated - triggers when a file is updated in a Store

Handling Store Events

Before receiving Events, your application must first start an event loop and subscribe to a specific channel. Afterwards you can setup a listener.

Here is an example of how to do it in your own project:

	// handle events
	core::EventQueue eventQueue {core::EventQueue::getInstance()};
	std::thread t([&](){
		while(true) {
			core::EventHolder event = eventQueue.waitEvent();
			std::cout << "onEvent: " << event.type() << std::endl;
			std::cout << event.toJSON() << std::endl;
		}
    });
	t.detach();
 
	// subscribe for Stores general events
	storesApi.subscribeForStoreEvents();
 
	// subscribe for particular Store events
	storesApi.subscribeForFileEvents(storeId);
