How to Work With User Events
----------------------------

All these events receive an instance of `Da\User\Event\UserEvent`. The Event receives an instance of a `Da\Model\User` 
class that you could use for whatever logic you wish to implement. 

The recommended way to make use of events is by creating a new file in your config folder (i.e. `events.php`), configure 
there all your events and then include that file on your 
[`entry script`](http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-structure-entry-scripts.html).

Here is an example of setting an event for the `AdminController` and the `User` model: 

```php 
<?php 
// events.php file

use Da\User\Controller\AdminController;
use Da\User\Event\UserEvent;
use Da\User\Model\User;
use yii\base\Event;

// This will happen at the controller's level
Event::on(AdminController::class, UserEvent::EVENT_BEFORE_CREATE, function (UserEvent $event) {
    $user = $event->getUser();
    
    // ... your logic here
}

// This will happen at the model's level
Event::on(User::class, UserEvent::EVENT_BEFORE_CREATE, function (UserEvent $event) {

    $user = $event->getUser();
    
    // ... your logic here
}

```

Now, the only thing I need to do is adding the `events.php` file to your entry script (i.e. `index.php`). The following 
is taken from the Yii 2 Advanced Application Template:

```php 
<?php
defined('YII_DEBUG') or define('YII_DEBUG', true);
defined('YII_ENV') or define('YII_ENV', 'dev');

require(__DIR__ . '/../../vendor/autoload.php');
require(__DIR__ . '/../../vendor/yiisoft/yii2/Yii.php');
require(__DIR__ . '/../../common/config/bootstrap.php');
require(__DIR__ . '/../config/bootstrap.php');

require(__DIR__ . '/../config/events.php'); // <--- adding events here! :)

$config = yii\helpers\ArrayHelper::merge(
    require(__DIR__ . '/../../common/config/main.php'),
    require(__DIR__ . '/../../common/config/main-local.php'),
    require(__DIR__ . '/../config/main.php'),
    require(__DIR__ . '/../config/main-local.php')
);

$application = new yii\web\Application($config);
$application->run();

```
