Event

An SA5 Event is effectively a messaging pipeline, which has a name. When an event fires, it triggers a series of SA5 Actions.

• Multiple Triggers can invoke the same Event.

• An Event can perform several Actions

We're considering the ability for a single Trigger to invoke multiple Events. This may be limited to certain trigger types.

An SA5 Event is a named construction, which connects Triggers and Actions.

Events are tracked by SA5 and always have a name, so that they can be invoked and logged.

Element Click Trigger

wfu-trigger-click="event1"

wfu-action-click="event1"

Sa5.Events.Invoke("event1");

Currently, all events must be named.

Technical Notes & Consideration

Preventing Loops

Simple - threading. limit the number of automated events that can chain.

Event stack? Breadcrumbs? Detect loops?
