EpiEasyEvents

Simple helper project to make implementing handlers for EpiServer events easier. Version 2 is targetting EpiServer 12 (.Net Core based)

Installation

dotnet add package Forte.EpiEasyEvents

How to use

First, add two calls in your Startup class

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    // (...)
    services.AddEpiEasyEvents(this.GetType().Assembly); 
    // (...)
}

(You need to pass an assembly (or list of assemblies) that you want to be scanned for implementations of IContentEventHandler)

and

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
    // (...)
    app.UseEpiEasyEvents();
    // (...)
}

Then create a class that implements any of the generic event handler interfaces in Forte.EpiEasyEvents.EventHandlers namespace. Each interface has a generic argument being the content type for the event.

Each interface derives from IContentEventHandler<TContentType, TEventArgsType> and has single method to implement:

    void Handle(TContentType content, TEventArgsType eventArgs);

Example:

    // handler that will be fired when StandardPage was published
   public class ContentPublishedHandler : IPublishedContentHandler<StandardPage> 
    {
        public ContentPublishedHandler()
        {
        }
        
        public void Handle(NewsArticlePage content, SaveContentEventArgs eventArgs)
        {
            // ...
        }
    }

Settings

In some cases, you may need to disable events handling. To disable events handling dynamically create new instance of DisabledEventsHandlerScope (and remember to call Dispose() on it or wrap with using block) from Forte.EpiEasyEvents namespace or set property IsHandlingDisabled from Forte.EpiEasyEvents.Configuration namespace to true.

using(new Forte.EpiEasyEvents.DisabledEventsHandlerScope()) {
    //...code here without events handling
}
