laravel events, are they executing synchronously?

Question

basically what I want to do is use a special token auto login

but: only for a subset of pages. Say, commenting is ok with the token login. Changing credit card information and purchasing items is not ok with the token login.

So I want to store a boolean token_login on the users table.

On each login i set the token_login to false using the event handler

class EventServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{

    protected $listen = [
      'Illuminate\Auth\Events\Login' => [PostLoginListener::class],
    ];

When a true token login is performed, I set it to true.

So I expect the event to get called -> token_login = false

then code keeps running, setting token_login = true in case of the actual autologin.

Now this requires that the event actually always fires synchronously and always before the other code. Is that the case?

Answer 1

As long as your PostLoginListener does not implement the Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue interface, your event will be processed synchronously.
