This PR was merged into the 2.2 branch. Discussion ---------- Removed observer pattern, in favour of mediator | Q | A | ------------- | --- | Doc fix? | yes | New docs? | no | Applies to | * | Fixed tickets | symfony#9344 I don't think this is the best tool to implement the observer pattern. I just have copied the sentence from: https://github.com/symfony/symfony-docs/edit/2.3/components/event_dispatcher/introduction.rst but maybe could be improved with something like: "Symfony Event Dispatcher is a tool that allows to make your projects truly extensible, facilitating the implementation of Mediator pattern and Publish subscribe pattern" [edit-1] I think this could be modified also here: https://github.com/symfony/symfony-marketing/edit/master/views/en/get_started/components.html.twig Commits ------- ab3e231 [EventDispatcher] tweaked README b9ad62e removed observer pattern, in favour of mediator
