Context Switch Event

This Event will help you to manage additional tasks if the zone/language/country gets changed. This feature is disabled by default, so you need to enable it first if you need it:

i18n:
enable_context_switch_detector: true

Use Case Example

If you have a complex e-commerce environment for example, you may want to check the cart against new prices, stock and availability of products if the user changes the country and/or the language.

Important Stuff to know

  • ContextSwitch only works in same domain levels. Since there is no way for simple cross-domain session ids, the zone switch will be sort of useless most of the time.
  • The ContextSwitchEvent ignores ajax request. If you're requesting data via ajax in a different language / country, no event will be triggered!

Limitation

This event is disabled if the opendxp full page cache feature is enable to prevent session interventions.


Implementation

Create a Service:

# config/services.yaml
services:
App\EventListener\I18nContextSwitchListener:
public: false
tags:
- { name: kernel.event_subscriber }

Create a Listener:

<?php

namespace App\EventListener;

use OpenDxp\Bundle\I18nBundle\I18nEvents;
use OpenDxp\Bundle\I18nBundle\Event\ContextSwitchEvent;
use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface;

class I18nContextSwitchListener implements EventSubscriberInterface
{
public static function getSubscribedEvents(): array
{
return [
I18nEvents::CONTEXT_SWITCH => 'checkContext'
];
}

public function checkContext(ContextSwitchEvent $event): void
{
if($event->zoneHasSwitched()) {
\OpenDxp\Logger::log(
sprintf('switch zone: %s => %s',
$event->zoneSwitchedFrom(),
$event->zoneSwitchedTo()
)
);
}

if($event->countryHasSwitched()) {
\OpenDxp\Logger::log(
sprintf('switch country: %s => %s',
$event->countrySwitchedFrom(),
$event->countrySwitchedTo()
)
);
}

if($event->languageHasSwitched()) {
\OpenDxp\Logger::log(
sprintf('switch lang: %s => %s',
$event->languageSwitchedFrom(),
$event->languageSwitchedTo()
)
);
}
}
}
