Options for registering a blocking event handler.

```ts title="Signature"
type BlockingEventHandlerOptions<T extends VendureEvent> = {
    event: Type<T> | Array<Type<T>>;
    handler: (event: T) => void | Promise<void>;
    id: string;
    before?: string;
    after?: string;
}
```

<div className="members-wrapper">

### event

\<MemberInfo kind="property" type={`Type<T> | Array<Type<T>>`}   />

The event type to which the handler should listen.
Can be a single event type or an array of event types.

### handler

\<MemberInfo kind="property" type={`(event: T) => void | Promise<void>`}   />

The handler function which will be executed when the event is published.
If the handler returns a Promise, the event publishing code will wait for the Promise to resolve
before continuing. Any errors thrown by the handler will cause the event publishing code to fail.

### id

\<MemberInfo kind="property" type={`string`}   />

A unique identifier for the handler. This can then be used to specify the order in which
handlers should be executed using the `before` and `after` options in other handlers.

### before

\<MemberInfo kind="property" type={`string`}   />

The ID of another handler which this handler should execute before.

### after

\<MemberInfo kind="property" type={`string`}   />

The ID of another handler which this handler should execute after.
