+Creating plugins
+================
+
+.. highlight:: php
+
+Guzzle is extremely extensible because of the behavioral modifications that can be added to requests, clients, and
+commands using an event system. Before and after the majority of actions are taken in the library, an event is emitted
+with the name of the event and context surrounding the event. Observers can subscribe to a subject and modify the
+subject based on the events received. Guzzle's event system utilizes the Symfony2 EventDispatcher and is the backbone
+of its plugin architecture.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+Plugins must implement the ``Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface`` interface. The
+``EventSubscriberInterface`` requires that your class implements a static method, ``getSubscribedEvents()``, that
+returns an associative array mapping events to methods on the object. See the
+`Symfony2 documentation <http://symfony.com/doc/2.0/book/internals.html#the-event-dispatcher>`_ for more information.
+
+Plugins can be attached to any subject, or object in Guzzle that implements that
+``Guzzle\Common\HasDispatcherInterface``.
+
+Subscribing to a subject
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You can subscribe an instantiated observer to an event by calling ``addSubscriber`` on a subject.
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+ $testPlugin = new TestPlugin();
+ $client->addSubscriber($testPlugin);
+
+You can also subscribe to only specific events using a closure::
+
+ $client->getEventDispatcher()->addListener('request.create', function(Event $event) {
+ echo $event->getName();
+ echo $event['request'];
+ });
+
+``Guzzle\Common\Event`` objects are passed to notified functions. The Event object has a ``getName()`` method which
+return the name of the emitted event and may contain contextual information that can be accessed like an array.
+
+Knowing what events to listen to
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Any class that implements the ``Guzzle\Common\HasDispatcherInterface`` must implement a static method,
+``getAllEvents()``, that returns an array of the events that are emitted from the object. You can browse the source
+to see each event, or you can call the static method directly in your code to get a list of available events.

+
+Examples of the event system
+----------------------------
+
+Simple Echo plugin
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This simple plugin prints a string containing the request that is about to be sent by listening to the
+``request.before_send`` event::
+
+ use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface;
+
+ class EchoPlugin implements EventSubscriberInterface
+ {
+ public static function getSubscribedEvents()
+ {
+ return array('request.before_send' => 'onBeforeSend');
+ }
+
+ public function onBeforeSend(Guzzle\Common\Event $event)
+ {
+ echo 'About to send a request: ' . $event['request'] . "\n";
+ }
+ }
+
+ $client = new Guzzle\Service\Client('http://www.test.com/');
+
+ // Create the plugin and add it as an event subscriber
+ $plugin = new EchoPlugin();
+ $client->addSubscriber($plugin);
+
+ // Send a request and notice that the request is printed to the screen
+ $client->get('/')->send();
+
+Running the above code will print a string containing the HTTP request that is about to be sent.
