You can inject any service and perform any required logic here. A single event handler class can **subscribe to multiple events** but implementing the `IDistributedEventHandler<TEvent>` interface for each event type.
> The handler class must be registered to the dependency injection (DI). The sample above uses the `ITransientDependency` to accomplish it. See the [DI document](Dependency-Injection.md) for more options.
## Pre-Defined Events
ABP Framework **automatically publishes** distributed events for **create, update and delete** operations for an [entity](Entities.md) once you configure it.
### Event Types
There are three pre-defined event types:
* `EntityCreatedEto<T>` is published when an entity of type `T` was created.
* `EntityUpdatedEto<T>` is published when an entity of type `T` was updated.
* `EntityDeletedEto<T>` is published when an entity of type `T` was deleted.
These types are generics. `T` is actually the type of the **E**vent **T**ransfer **O**bject (ETO) rather than the type of the entity. Because, an entity object can not be transferred as a part of the event data. So, it is typical to define a ETO class for an entity class, like `ProductEto` for `Product` entity.
### Subscribing to the Events
Subscribing to the auto events is same as subscribing a regular distributed event.
**Example: Get notified once a product updated**
````csharp
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Volo.Abp.DependencyInjection;
using Volo.Abp.Domain.Entities.Events.Distributed;
//Custom predicate expression that should return true to select a type
options.AutoEventSelectors.Add(
type => type.Namespace.StartsWith("MyProject.")
);
});
````
* The last one provides flexibility to decide if the events should be published for the given entity type. Returns `true` to accept a `Type`.
You can add more than one selector. If one of the selectors match for an entity type, then it is selected.
### Event Transfer Object
Once you enable **auto events** for an entity, ABP Framework starts to publish events on the changes on this entity. If you don't specify a corresponding **E**vent **T**ransfer **O**bject (ETO) for the entity, ABP Framework uses a standard type, named `EntityEto`, which has only two properties:
* `EntityType` (`string`): Full name (including namespace) of the entity class.
* `KeysAsString` (`string`): Primary key(s) of the changed entity. If it has a single key, this property will be the primary key value. For a composite key, it will contain all keys separated by `,` (comma).
So, you can implement the `IDistributedEventHandler<EntityUpdatedEto<EntityEto>>` to subscribe the events. However, it is not a good approach to subscribe to such a generic event. You can define the corresponding ETO for the entity type.
**Example: Declare to use `ProductEto` for the `Product` entity**
* Adds a selector to allow to publish the create, update and delete events for the `Product` entity.
* Configure to use the `ProductEto` as the event transfer object to publish for the `Product` related events.
Distributed event system use the [object to object mapping](Object-To-Object-Mapping.md) system to map `Product` objects to `ProductEto` objects. So, you need to configure the mapping. You can check the object to object mapping document for all options, but the following example shows how to configure it with the [AutoMapper](https://automapper.org/) library.
**Example: Configure `Product` to `ProductEto` mapping using the AutoMapper**
````csharp
using System;
using AutoMapper;
using Volo.Abp.Domain.Entities.Events.Distributed;
namespace AbpDemo
{
[AutoMap(typeof(Product))]
public class ProductEto : EntityEto
{
public Guid Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
}
````
This example uses the `AutoMap` attribute of the AutoMapper to configure the mapping. You could create a profile class instead. Please refer to the AutoMapper document for more options.
