Hooks

Hooks

Common hooks:

  • beforeSave
  • afterSave
  • beforeRemove
  • afterRemove
  • afterRelate
  • afterUnrelate
  • afterMassRelate

Creating hook

  • create a file custom/Espo/Custom/Hooks/{EntityName}/{HookName}.php;
  • declare hook type action;
  • clear Cache in Administration.

Hook order

If you have several hooks, related to one Entity Type and with the same hook type, and running order is important, you can set a public static $order property in an integer value.

Ascending order – the hook with the smallest order number runs first.

Example

This example sets Account Name for new Leads, if it is not set.

custom/Espo/Custom/Hooks/Lead/AccountName.php

namespace Espo\Custom\Hooks\Lead;

use Espo\ORM\Entity;

class AccountName extends \Espo\Core\Hooks\Base
{    
    public function beforeSave(Entity $entity, array $options = [])
    {
        if ($entity->isNew() && !$entity->get('accountName')) { 
            $entity->set('accountName', 'No Account');
        }
    }
}

Global hooks
If you need to apply a hook for all entities, you can use common hooks. To do this, put your hook class in Common directory, e.g. custom/Espo/Custom/Hooks/Common/{HookName}.php.
