Wildcard Events #

Kuzzle allows you to listen to multiple events with a single listener thanks to wildcards (*).

Wildcard events are triggered after standard events and more specific wildcard are triggered before more generic wildcard.
Example: After document creation you will have document:afterCreate then document:after* and finally document:*

Name wildcard #

Arguments	Type	Description
`*`	*	Depends on the event type

You can catch all the actions of a controller by using a wildcard instead of the action name.

Naming Template #

The event name is built using the following template:

<controller>:*

controller: controller name

Example #

this.pipes = 
  // the listener function is executed every time an
  // event is triggered by the "document" controller
  'document:*': <function to call> 
};

Templated events wildcard #

Arguments	Type	Description
`request`	KuzzleRequest	The normalized API request

Wildcards permit listening templated events.

Naming Template #

The event name is built using the following template:

<controller>:<template>*

controller: API controller name
template: before, after or error

Example #

this.pipes = 
  // the listener function is executed after every successful
  // API action performed by the "document" controller
  'document:after*': <function to call>
};
