NAME

       Jifty::Event - Event objects for publish/subscribe communication

DESCRIPTION

       An event object from the Jifty::PubSub stream.

METHODS

   new($payload)
       Constructor.  Takes any kind of payload and blesses a scalar reference to it into an Event
       object.

   publish()
       Inserts the event into the pubsub stream.  If Jifty is configured into synchronous
       republishing, then this method runs a "republish" on itself with all current subscriptions
       implicitly.  If not, it's simply inserted into its main channel for asynchronous
       republishing later.

   filter(@query)
       Takes multiple class-specific queries, which are evaluated in order by calling "match".

   republish(@query)
       Run "filter" with the queries; if they all succeed, the event is republished into that
       query-specific channel.

   encode_queries(@query)
       Encode queries into some sort of canonical MD5 encoding.

   match($query)
       Takes a class-specific query and returns whether it matches.

       You almost always want to override this; the default implementation simply always return
       true;

   render_arguments()
       A list of additional things to push into the %ARGS of the region that is about to render
       this event; see Jifty::Subs::Render for more information.

   data()
       This event's payload as a scalar value.
