Laravel 11 – Auto discovery of event listeners inside a custom directory

Before Laravel 11, I used to bind listeners to events inside the AppProvidersEventServiceProvider provider class, for example:

<?php

namespace AppProviders;

use AppEventsMyEvent;
use AppListenersMyListener;
use IlluminateFoundationSupportProvidersEventServiceProvider as ServiceProvider;
use IlluminateHttpClientEventsResponseReceived;

class EventServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * The event to listener mappings for the application.
     *
     * @var array<class-string, array<int, class-string>>
     */
    protected $listen = [
        MyEvent::class => [
            MyListener::class
        ]
    ];
}

In Laravel 11, this binding isn’t necessary at all since Laravel auto-discovery feature auto-discovers the listeners from the app/Listeners directory. How can I instruct Laravel to auto-discover listeners from a different directory such as app/Domain/Listeners ?

    Starting from Laravel 11, you can call the withEvents() method inside your bootstrap/app.php file to instruct the framework to auto-discover listeners within one or more directories.

    This method takes an array of paths that will be used to auto-discover listeners, for example here we're telling Laravel to auto-discover all listeners within the app/Domain/Listeners directory:

    <?php

use IlluminateFoundationApplication;
use IlluminateFoundationConfigurationExceptions;
use IlluminateFoundationConfigurationMiddleware;

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
    ->withRouting(
        web: __DIR__.'/../routes/web.php',
        commands: __DIR__.'/../routes/console.php',
        channels: __DIR__.'/../routes/channels.php',
        health: '/up',
    )->withEvents(discover: [
        app_path('Domain/Listeners')
    ])->create();

    This is mentioned in the documentation here: https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/events#event-discovery

    Use the withEvents() method inside the app.php file, for example:

    Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))->withEvents(['app/CustomListeners']);
