Where can I get a complete list of Laravel events (fired by the core libraries)?

Question

I want to know what events are fired by Laravel core libraries. I want to get the complete list, such as laravel.query and laravel.done.

There are four events listed at the official docs, but I think Laravel has more events than these four!

Answer 1

Laravel doesn't actually fire as many events as you'd think. While it does make use of the Event system it's there for developers to use within there applications. Anyway, here's a list I compiled.

laravel.done
laravel.log
laravel.query
laravel.resolving
laravel.composing: {viewname}
laravel.started: {bundlename}
laravel.controller.factory
laravel.config.loader
laravel.language.loader
laravel.view.loader
laravel.view.engine

view.filter

eloquent.saving
eloquent.updated
eloquent.created
eloquent.saved
eloquent.deleting
eloquent.deleted
eloquent.booted: {$model}
eloquent.booting: {$model}


500
404

The 500 and 404 are both error related events. These are set in the routes.php file so you can see what the default listener is.

I'd like to point out that the eloquent.{event} have another variation containing the class name that is being updated.

eloquent.{event}: {classname}

I'm not going to say this is absolutely everything but it should be at least 99% of it.

In addition to Jason Lewis answer, I have few more to add. I simply searched for fire() function and came up with following list for Laravel 5,

$this->events->fire('auth.attempt', $payload);
$this->events->fire('auth.login', [$user, $remember]);
$this->events->fire('auth.logout', [$user]);
$this->events->fire('cache.'.$event, $payload);
$this->laravel['events']->fire('cache:clearing', [$storeName]);
$this->laravel['events']->fire('cache:cleared', [$storeName]);
$events->fire('artisan.start', [$this]);
$this->events->fire('illuminate.query', array($query, $bindings, $time, $this->getName()));
$this->events->fire('connection.'.$this->getName().'.'.$event, $this);
$this['events']->fire('bootstrapping: '.$bootstrapper, [$this]);
$this['events']->fire('bootstrapped: '.$bootstrapper, [$this]);
$this['events']->fire('locale.changed', array($locale));
$this['events']->fire($class = get_class($provider), array($provider));  //after provider registered.
$this->app['events']->fire('kernel.handled', [$request, $response]);
$this->dispatcher->fire('illuminate.log', compact('level', 'message', 'context'));
$this->events->fire('mailer.sending', array($message));
$this->events->fire('illuminate.queue.failed', array($connection, $job, $data));
$this->events->fire('illuminate.queue.stopping');
$this->events->fire('router.matched', [$route, $request]);
$this->events->fire('composing: '.$view->getName(), array($view));
$this->events->fire('creating: '.$view->getName(), array($view));

Here are a few of them more, got them while dumping static::$events

laravel.config.loader
laravel.view.loader
laravel.language.loader
laravel.view.engine
404

Not really sure if overriding these would work, as they are internally called

If you are debugging your Laravel application, you can get a full list of fired events in the console (for example when you are running unit tests or a artisan command) for the running process with following snippet:

Event::listen('*', function ($event) {
    echo $event."\n";
});

If you use logger function it would go to infinite loop.
