Zf2 Event, base use

Hi! Some mouths ago I have writted a gist for help me to remember a base use of Events and Event Manager into Zend Fremework, in this article I report this small tutorial.

<?php
require_once __DIR__."/vendor/autoload.php";

class Foo
{
    /* @var \Zend\EventManager\EventManagerInterface */
    protected $eventManager;

    public function getEventManager()
    {
        if(!$this->eventManager instanceof \Zend\EventManager\EventManagerInterface){
            $this->eventManager = new \Zend\EventManager\EventManager();
        }
        return $this->eventManager;
    }

    public function echoHello()
    {
        $this->getEventManager()->trigger(__FUNCTION__."_pre", $this);
        echo "Hello";
        $this->getEventManager()->trigger(__FUNCTION__."_post", $this);
    }
}

$foo = new Foo();
$foo->getEventManager()->attach('echoHello_pre', function($e){
    echo "Wow! ";
});
$foo->getEventManager()->attach('echoHello_post', function($e){
    echo ". This example is very good! \n";
});
$foo->getEventManager()->attach('echoHello_post', function($e){
    echo "\nby gianarb92@gmail.com \n";
}, -10);
$foo->echoHello();

The result:

gianarb@GianArb-2 eventTest :) $ php try.php
Wow! Hello. This example is very good!
