Adds a new listener to an event. Listeners

Parameters

callable|CakeEventListener $callable

PHP valid callback type or instance of CakeEventListener to be called when the event named with $eventKey is triggered. If a CakeEventListener instance is passed, then the implementedEvents method will be called on the object to register the declared events individually as methods to be managed by this class. It is possible to define multiple event handlers per event name.

string $eventKey optional null

The event unique identifier name with which the callback will be associated. If $callable is an instance of CakeEventListener this argument will be ignored

array $options optional array()

used to set the priority and passParams flags to the listener. Priorities are handled like queues, and multiple attachments added to the same priority queue will be treated in the order of insertion. passParams means that the event data property will be converted to function arguments when the listener is called. If $called is an instance of CakeEventListener, this parameter will be ignored

Throws

InvalidArgumentException
When event key is missing or callable is not an instance of CakeEventListener.
