WireSaveableItems::saveReady() method

Hook that runs right before item is to be saved.

Unlike before(save), when this runs, it has already been confirmed that the item will indeed be saved.

Usage

$wireSaveableItems->saveReady(Saveable $item);

Arguments

NameType(s)Description
itemSaveable

Hooking WireSaveableItems::saveReady(…)

You can add your own hook events that are executed either before or after the WireSaveableItems::saveReady(…) method is executed. Examples of both are included below. A good place for hook code such as this is in your /site/ready.php file.

Hooking before

The 'before' hooks are called immediately before each WireSaveableItems::saveReady(…) method call is executed. This type of hook is especially useful for modifying arguments before they are sent to the method.

$this->addHookBefore('WireSaveableItems::saveReady', function(HookEvent $event) {
  // Get the object the event occurred on, if needed
  $WireSaveableItems = $event->object;

  // Get values of arguments sent to hook (and optionally modify them)
  $item = $event->arguments(0);

  /* Your code here, perhaps modifying arguments */

  // Populate back arguments (if you have modified them)
  $event->arguments(0, $item);
});

Hooking after

The 'after' hooks are called immediately after each WireSaveableItems::saveReady(…) method call is executed. This type of hook is especially useful for modifying the value that was returned by the method call.

$this->addHookAfter('WireSaveableItems::saveReady', function(HookEvent $event) {
  // Get the object the event occurred on, if needed
  $WireSaveableItems = $event->object;

  // An 'after' hook can retrieve and/or modify the return value
  $return = $event->return;

  // Get values of arguments sent to hook (if needed)
  $item = $event->arguments(0);

  /* Your code here, perhaps modifying the return value */

  // Populate back return value, if you have modified it
  $event->return = $return;
});
