Built-in Workers

Sur cette page

Workers are the event listeners and actions shipped inside Lifecycle. Their implementations live in src/Workers/; their active hooks are declared in Lifecycle's own composer.json.

Inventory

All classes below use the Webkernel\Lifecycle\Workers\ namespace.

Class	Declared hook	Work
`EventDependencyCheck`	`pre-install-cmd`, `pre-update-cmd`	Runs the collected environment checks.
`EventSetBasePath`	First Lifecycle callback for `post-autoload-dump`.	Refreshes the Composer root path.
`EventPostAutoloadDump`	Second Lifecycle callback for `post-autoload-dump`.	Runs checks, then declared actions.
`ActionExampleAction`	No default action declaration.	Writes a demonstration artifact when explicitly declared.

Checks and actions are already wired

Declaring checks or actions in your package is sufficient. The built-in workers collect them across root and installed packages. Do not also declare the built-in worker classes under your own events unless you deliberately want another invocation of the same global phase.

Lifecycle itself declares a blocking PHP_VERSION_ID < 80500 check. Its optional fix text is displayed; no fix command is executed. The package also declares PHP 8.5 as a Composer requirement.

Base-path refresh

EventSetBasePath remembers the previous BASE_PATH, calls LCBasePathInjector with the Composer instance and reports a change only if the resolved value differs. This keeps the injected root aligned with regenerated Composer installation metadata.

Its place before EventPostAutoloadDump is an order inside Lifecycle's callback list. It does not imply that Lifecycle's whole package runs before every other package. See Composer Events for cross-package order.

Post-autoload phase

The worker opens an environment-check branch, runs checks, then opens a declared-actions branch and runs actions. A blocking check prevents actions. Action execution failures are collected and reported; once the action runner returns, the worker throws if the failure count is nonzero.

Optional example

Add Webkernel\Lifecycle\Workers\ActionExampleAction to extra.webkernel.lifecycle.actions to opt in, escaping backslashes in JSON. It writes generated/lifecycle-example.txt under the installed Lifecycle package, creating the directory when needed. It checks directory and write failures and reports the artifact path. It is a demonstration; application-generated state should go to the application's owned runtime location.
