Listen to Order Changes
Overview
This guide will teach you how to react to order changes, e.g. changes to the ordered line items, or changes to one of the order states.
Prerequisites
This guide is built upon our plugin base guide and uses the same namespaces as the said plugin. Also, since we're trying to listen to an event in this guide, you need to know about subscribers.
Listening to the event
First of all you need to know about the several possible order events in order to find your right order. You can find them in the OrderEvents class.
Let's assume you want to react to general changes to the order itself, then the event ORDER_WRITTEN_EVENT
is the one to choose.
// <plugin root>/src/Service/ListenToOrderChanges.php
<?php declare(strict_types=1);
namespace Swag\BasicExample\Service;
use Shopware\Core\Checkout\Order\OrderEvents;
use Shopware\Core\Framework\DataAbstractionLayer\Event\EntityWrittenEvent;
use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface;
class ListenToOrderChanges implements EventSubscriberInterface
{
public static function getSubscribedEvents(): array
{
return [
OrderEvents::ORDER_WRITTEN_EVENT => 'onOrderWritten',
];
}
public function onOrderWritten(EntityWrittenEvent $event): void
{
// Do stuff
}
}
Reading changeset
Due to performance reasons, a changeset of the write operation is not automatically added to the event parameter. In order to force Shopware to generate a changeset, we need to listen to another event.
For this we're going to use the PreWriteValidationEvent, which is triggered before the write result set is generated.
// <plugin root>/src/Service/ListenToOrderChanges.php
<?php declare(strict_types=1);
namespace Swag\BasicExample\Service;
use Shopware\Core\Checkout\Order\OrderDefinition;
use Shopware\Core\Checkout\Order\OrderEvents;
use Shopware\Core\Framework\DataAbstractionLayer\Event\EntityWrittenEvent;
use Shopware\Core\Framework\DataAbstractionLayer\Write\Command\ChangeSetAware;
use Shopware\Core\Framework\DataAbstractionLayer\Write\Command\InsertCommand;
use Shopware\Core\Framework\DataAbstractionLayer\Write\Command\UpdateCommand;
use Shopware\Core\Framework\DataAbstractionLayer\Write\Validation\PreWriteValidationEvent;
use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface;
class ListenToOrderChanges implements EventSubscriberInterface
{
public static function getSubscribedEvents(): array
{
return [
PreWriteValidationEvent::class => 'triggerChangeSet',
OrderEvents::ORDER_WRITTEN_EVENT => 'onOrderWritten',
];
}
public function triggerChangeSet(PreWriteValidationEvent $event): void
{
foreach ($event->getCommands() as $command) {
if (!$command instanceof ChangeSetAware) {
continue;
}
/** @var ChangeSetAware|InsertCommand|UpdateCommand $command */
if ($command->getDefinition()->getEntityName() !== OrderDefinition::ENTITY_NAME) {
continue;
}
$command->requestChangeSet();
}
}
public function onOrderWritten(EntityWrittenEvent $event): void
{
foreach ($event->getWriteResults() as $result) {
$changeSet = $result->getChangeSet();
// Do stuff
}
}
}
So the PreWriteValidationEvent
is triggered before the write set is generated. In its respective listener triggerChangeSet
, we're first checking if the current command is even able to generate a changeset. E.g. an "insert" command cannot generate a changeset, because nothing has changed - a whole new entity is generated.
Afterwards we're checking which entity is currently being processed. Since this has an impact on the performance, we only want to generate a changeset for our given scenario. Make sure to narrow it down as much as possible.
Afterwards we execute the method requestChangeSet
on the command.
Note the changes made to the onOrderWritten
method, which is now reading the newly generated change set.
