How to generate events in Hyperledger Fabric

Question

I am new to Hyperledger Fabric and I was reading the docs and saw that Hyperledger Fabric has events. But I am not understanding how to generate events of my own. Can somebody help me?

Answer 1

You can generate events using a method from shim.ChaincodeStubInterface API named

SetEvent(name string, payload []byte) error

The method description is as follows

//SetEvent allows the chaincode to set an event on the response to the

// proposal to be included as part of a transaction. The event will be

// available within the transaction in the committed block regardless of the

// validity of the transaction.
