how to deattach global event in cakephp 3

Question

created a global beforeFind() listener for my find queries but need to detach it for some requests.. $this->eventManager()->off() in controller is not working. i.e. not deattach the event. In my bootstrap.php file :

$modelListerner = new DeletedListener(); //my custom listerner
EventManager::instance()->on(
        $modelListerner
        );

You cannot locally detach a global listener, you have to detach it globally, ie via

EventManager::getInstance()->off(/* ... */);

However you may want to consider whether passing options to the finder may be a better solution, so that your controllers do not have to know about listeners and the like, but just execute the find calls as needed, like

$Table->find('all', ['doThisAndThat' => false]);

and your listener could then act accordingly.

Quote from the docs

[...] Any options that are not in this list will be passed to beforeFind listeners where they can be used to modify the query object.
