How to tie into Illuminate events Laravel 5.3

I want a message on my applications login page when the event of logout is trigged under vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Auth/SessionGuard.php.

Since this is in core I thought it would be as simple as adding: 

protected $listen = [
    'App\Events\Logout' => [
        'App\Listeners\LogoutEvent',
    ],
];

as stated in https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/events#registering-events-and-listeners

But after running artisan command it just creates a spot for me to make my own event. So my question is, can I listen to core events in Laravel like Logout without creating my own?

Solution

  • You should be able to listen for this event, however, the event isn't in your App namespace.

    The namespace for the core Auth events is Illuminate\Auth\Events so you would have: 

     protected $listen = [
    'Illuminate\Auth\Events\Logout' => [
        'App\Listeners\LogoutEvent'
    ],
];

    Hope this helps!
