Wire::addHookAfter() method

Add a hook to be executed after the hooked method

  • Use an "after" hook when you have code that should execute after a hookable method executes.
  • One benefit of using an "after" hook is that you can have it modify the return value.

Example

// Attach hook to a method in current object
$this->addHookAfter('Page::path', $this, 'yourHookMethodName');

// Attach hook to an inline function
$this->addHookAfter('Page::path', function($event) { ... });

// Attach hook to a procedural function
$this->addHookAfter('Page::path', 'your_function_name');

// Attach hook from single object instance ($page) to inline function
$page->addHookAfter('path', function($event) { ... });

Usage

// basic usage
$string = $wire->addHookAfter($method, $toObject);

// usage with all arguments
$string = $wire->addHookAfter($method, $toObject, $toMethod = null, array $options = []);

Arguments

NameType(s)Description
methodstring, array

Method to hook in one of the following formats (please omit 3 leading underscores):

  • Class::method - If hooking to all object instances of the class.
  • method - If hooking to a single object instance.
  • Since 3.0.137 it may also be multiple methods to hook in CSV string or array.
toObjectobject, null, callable

Specify one of the following:

  • Object instance to call $toMethod from (like $this).
  • Inline function (closure) if providing implemention inline.
  • Procedural function name, if hook is implemented by a procedural function.
  • Null if you want to use the 3rd argument and don't need this argument.
toMethod (optional)string, array

Method from $toObject, or function name to call on a hook event. This argument can be sustituted as the 2nd argument when the 2nd argument isn't needed, or it can be the $options argument.

options (optional)array

Array of options that can modify behavior:

  • type (string): May be either 'method' or 'property'. If property, then it will respond to $obj->property rather than $obj->method(). The default type is 'method'.
  • priority (int): A number determining the priority of a hook, where lower numbers are executed before higher numbers. The default priority is 100.

Return value

string

A special Hook ID (or CSV string of hook IDs) that should be retained if you need to remove the hook later.
