Executing some code when certain configurable module is saved

[titanium]

Hi, I would like to build a module which executes some functions when it's config dialog is saved. That's what I have so far:

<?php

class Patch extends WireData implements Module
{
    public function init()
    {
        $this->addHookAfter('Modules::saveConfig', $this, 'runPatch');
    }

    public function runPatch(HookEvent $event)
    {
        $this->message('runPatch has been executed');
    }
}

This works so far, but it works for any module which is saved, which is not what I want - I just want to run the method "runPatch" when this particular module has been saved. How can I achieve that?

It's all about checking the $event.

Using Tracy, inside your runPatch() method, do this:

bd($event);

That will return something like:

Now that shows that you are looking for: $event->arguments[0]

Just to confirm, do:

bd($event->arguments[0]);

and you'll get:

which shows that you can simply do:

if($event->arguments[0] === 'MyModuleName') {

Aaah, yes - I see clearly now. That works - many thanks for this 

Since I'm often to confused to remember that I have used the module's name more than just in the filename: is there a smart way to use the name of the module somewhat more dynamically, besides parsing the module's filename?

Sorry I am not understanding what you are asking here. In the example above we are not parsing the filename. Perhaps you can provide some code showing what you are currently doing.
