Event based programming

[youssefaoun]

Is their any API for events in Sugar?

Do we have the possibility to subscribe to events and run code related to a particular event?

Not sure what is meant by events. There is a workflow engine.
You can write custom workflow & actions.

Is the Workflow engine available for the OpenSource solution?

I couldn't see it.

No, the workflow engine is not available in open source. Also, PHP doesn't support events. You can somewhat simulate them from what I've read before, but it is not part of the architecture.

Sugar does not support events, but as far as I know the only way you can simulate "events" will be to utilize the logic hook architecture. One of techniques I can imagine to realize "events" will be writing a custom code in a logic hook to push events to a queue, then a subscriber looks at the queue for any new event.

For more information about logic hooks, please see below;
