Entity Events

Module which dispatches events for entity create, update, delete.

Provides abstract classes for event listeners for you to extend in your own modules to 'do stuff' on entity operations. Can use as a replacement for hook_entity_[update/insert/delete] from within your module file.

Abstract classes:

EntityEventSubscriber
EntityEventInsertSubscriber
EntityEventUpdateSubscriber
EntityEventDeleteSubscriber

Extend these classes with your own module subscribers.

Example implementation

namespace Drupal\mymodule\EventSubscriber;

use Drupal\entity_events\Event\EntityEvent;
use Drupal\entity_events\EventSubscriber\EntityEventInsertSubscriber;

class MyModuleSubscriber extends EntityEventInsertSubscriber {

  public function onEntityInsert(EntityEvent $event) {
    drupal_set_message('Entity inserted ');
  }

}

Remember to add event listeners to your services.yml.file
e.g.

services:
  mymodule.subscriber:
    class: Drupal\mymodule\EventSubscriber\MyModuleSubscriber
    tags:
      - {name: event_subscriber}

There is also Drupal Core issue to implement similar functionality in Core: #2551893: Add events for matching entity hooks
