`src/EventListeners/TestContext.php`

```auto
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\EventListeners;

use Cake\Event\Event;
use Cake\Event\EventListenerInterface;

class TestContext implements EventListenerInterface
{
    /**
     * @return array<string, mixed>
     */
    public function implementedEvents(): array
    {
        return [
            'Notification.Published' => 'published',
        ];
    }

    /**
     * @param \Cake\Event\Event $event The event
     * @return void
     */
    public function published(Event $event): void
    {
        $data = $event->getData('entity');
    }
}

```

in controller

```auto
public function edit(?int $id = null)
{
    $article = $this->Articles->get($id);

    $this->dispatchEvent('Notification.Published', [
        'entity' => $article
    ]);
}

```

in config/bootstrap.php

```auto
$eventManger = \Cake\Event\EventManager::instance();
$eventManger->on(new \App\EventListeners\TestContext());

```

works fine for me.

* * *

You gotta know, that Controllers and Models each have their own EventManager instance. But all events get “bubbled up” to the global event manager as well so you should always be able to register event listeners on the global event manager.

* * *

Also be aware, that the 2nd param of the [Event constructor is the subject](https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/blob/5.x/src/Event/Event.php#L84), not the data present in the event.

* * *

Usually you shouldn’t care about manually creating event instances since thats what the [EventDispatcherTrait](https://api.cakephp.org/5.0/trait-Cake.Event.EventDispatcherTrait.html) is for which both [Controllers](https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/blob/5.x/src/Controller/Controller.php#L102) as well as [Models](https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/blob/5.x/src/ORM/Table.php#L164) use by default.

Thats why my example just does `$this->dispatchEvent()`

You need to install the 3.0-RC Version of that plugin.

```auto
composer require dereuromark/cakephp-ajax:^3.0-RC

```

You need to adjust the exceptionRenderer for that. See [Cakephp default error response but i need to json format error response - #8 by KevinPfeifer](https://discourse.cakephp.org/t/cakephp-default-error-response-but-i-need-to-json-format-error-response/10829/8)

I never said you need to use mixerapi, I just said you need to set a custom exceptionRenderer.

But let me hand feed the info to you: There is no ready made plugin yet for CakePHP 5 so in your case you have to copy the plugin [GitHub - mixerapi/exception-render: Handles rendering entity validation errors and other exceptions for your API [READ-ONLY]](https://github.com/mixerapi/exception-render) to your own app and adjust it to CakePHP 5 (if there are changes necessary at all)

Just because the plugin can’t be installed via composer doesn’t mean its not compatible with CakePHP 5.

In CakePHP 4.x JSON error responses are handled transparently by the request handler component, which doesn’t exist in 5.x anymore.

If all you want is to bring back that behavior, and you’re using negotiable requests (ie they have a `Accepts` header), then that behavior can be enabled by adding the respective view class to the error controller.

So if you wanted to add JSON support, you’d add the following call in `ErrorController::initialize()` (located in `src/Controller/ErrorController.php`):

```php
$this->addViewClasses([\Cake\View\JsonView::class]);

```

**[https://book.cakephp.org/5/en/controllers.html#content-type-negotiation](https://book.cakephp.org/5/en/controllers.html#content-type-negotiation)**

If you need more control over the behavior, then you’d possibly need a customized exception renderer as noted by @KevinPfeifer

</div>

There are many different ways in which that could be achieved. One would be instead of using negotiation, to directly set the respective view class in the controllers that should be affected, depending on the requested endpoint if necessary.

So in your error controller’s `initialize()` method you could do something like this:

```php
if ($this->request->getParam('controller') === 'Api') {
    $this
        ->viewBuilder()
        ->setClassName(\Cake\View\JsonView::class);
}

```

Depending on the exact route that you’re trying to match you may have to add further conditions for the `action`, `prefix`, and/or `plugin` params.
