Decorator to listen for create and update events on all entities

[hakimio]

Is it possible to listen for afterCreate and afterUpdate events on all entities using cds-ts-dispatcher decorators? Similar to srv.after('CREATE', '*', req => {...}).

Hi Tomas,
Option1: It should be possible, but probably with the help of a new decorator like EntityHandler which should not point to any entity.

Option 2: Overload on EntityHandler to accept star ( all ) then crate new decorators like AfterCreateAll() AfterUpdateAll() ...

Do you need only for AfterCreate, AfterUpdate all only ?

If we create for After(Create,Update,Read,Delete) then I will implement also for Before and On.

I might need AfterDelete as well.
I think EntityHandler() overload might be the better option. Sth like EntityHandler(CDS_DISPATCHER.ALL_ENTITIES).
In the long run Before and On might be useful. For now, my idea is to listen to After events to broadcast the events as websocket messages.

Cool,
Do not forget to create an issue and just write very small summary of what we've discussed.
