tell me about hooks in ready.php

[tarkvsg]

Hi!
tell me, pls, how to execute this equality (from ready.php)

$wire->addHookAfter('InputfieldPage::getSelectablePages', function($event) {
    if($event->object->hasField == 'FIELDNAME')
    {
        .....
    }
}

- $hasField The Field object associated with this Inputfield (from definition parent class for InputfieldPage)

the left side equation is the object entity, and the right side - the string 
How it is?

It works because the comparison uses the == "equal to" and not the === "identical to" operator.

The PHP manual explains that == means "TRUE if $a is equal to $b after type juggling". In the case of the comparison...

$event->object->hasField == 'FIELDNAME'

...'FIELDNAME' is a string so a comparison is made to the string value of $event->object->hasField. And the string value of a Field object is the field's name. See the __toString() method of the Field class here:

Hi, I don't know if this question is ironically made for your self or if is a real one. Anyway just incase, the answer is easy: Simply add a single character.

Always use === instead of == (or !== instead of !=) when comparing so if the types differs PHP will not attempt conversions and will return FALSE. Do not use the == until is really required, knowing what you are doing.
