Store events in real-time

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 how to do it in your own project:

// Starting the Event Loop
await Endpoint.startEventLoop();

// Handling Store Events
const context = Endpoint.connection().context('CONTEXT_ID');
const channel = await context.stores.subscribeForStoreEvents();
channel.on('storeCreated', (data) => console.log(data))

// Handling File Events
const channel = await context.store('STORE_ID').subscribeForFileEvents();
channel.on('storeFileCreated', (data) => console.log(data))
