About

• Actions and filters in Laravel. WordPress-style.
• Actions are pieces of code you want to execute at certain points in your code. Actions never return anything but merely serve as the option to hook in to your existing code without having to mess things up.
• Filters are made to modify entities. They always return some kind of value. By default, they return their first parameter, and you should too.

Actions

Helper functions

Do action hook helper function

function do_action($tag, ...$args) {}

• @param string $tag: Name/key of action
• @param mixed ...$args: Additional parameters to pass to the callback functions.
• @return void

Add action to hook

function add_action($tag, $callback, $priority = 20, $arguments = 1)

• @param string $tag The name of the filter to hook the $function_to_add callback to.
• @param callable $callback The callback to be run when the filter is applied.
• @param int $priority (Optional)
  • Used to specify the order in which the functions associated with a particular action are executed.
  • Lower numbers correspond with earlier execution, and functions with the same priority are executed in the order in which they were added to the action.
  • Default 20.
• @param int $arguments (Optional)
  • The number of arguments the function accepts.
  • Default 1.
• @return void

Example

• Anywhere in your code you can create a new action like so:

do_action('my.hook', $user);

• The first parameter is the name of the hook; you will use this at a later point when you'll be listening to your hook. All subsequent parameters are sent to the action as parameters. These can be anything you'd like. For example, you might want to tell the listeners that this is attached to a certain model. Then you would pass this as one of the arguments.

• To listen to your hooks, you attach listeners. These are best added to file in actions folder in your plugin

For example if you wanted to hook in to the above hook, you could do:

add_action('my.hook', function($user) {
    if ($user->is_awesome) {
         $this->doSomethingAwesome($user);
    }
}, 20, 1);

Filters

Helper functions

function apply_filters($tag, $value, ...$args) {}

• Apply filters to value
• @param string $tag The name of the filter hook.
• @param mixed $value The value to filter.
• @param mixed ...$args Additional parameters to pass to the callback functions.
• @return mixed The filtered value after all hooked functions are applied to it.

function add_filters($tag, $callback, $priority = 20, $arguments = 1) {}

• @param string $tag The name of the filter to hook the $function_to_add callback to.
• @param callable $callback The callback to be run when the filter is applied.
• @param int $priority (Optional)
  • Used to specify the order in which the functions associated with a particular action are executed.
  • Lower numbers correspond with earlier execution, and functions with the same priority are executed in the order in which they were added to the action.
  • Default 20.
• @param int $arguments (Optional). The number of arguments the function accepts. Default 1.
• @return bool

Example

• Filters work in much the same way as actions and have the exact same build-up as actions. The most significant difference is that filters always return their value.

$value = apply_filters('my.hook', 'awesome');

• If no listeners are attached to this hook, the filter would simply return 'awesome'.
• This is how you add a listener to this filter (still in the actions folder files)

add_filters('my.hook', function($what) {
    $what = 'not '. $what;
    return $what;
}, 20, 1);

• The filter would now return 'not awesome'. Neat!
• You could use this in conjunction with the previous hook:

add_action('my.hook', function($what) {
    $what = add_filters('my.hook', 'awesome');
    echo 'You are '. $what;
});

Using in Blade

Adding the same action as the one in the action example above:

@do_action('my.hook', $user)

Adding the same filter as the one in the filter example above:

You are @apply_filters('my.hook', 'awesome')

Action class

To make the management easy, we divide the action handlers into separate classes. Instead of calling add_action or apply_filter everywhere your project, Let's create an Action class, handle your add_action or apply_filter, making them easy to manage.

Make your custom actions

<?php

namespace Vendor\Plugin;

use Juzaweb\CMS\Abstracts\Action;

class CustomAction extends Action
{
    public function handle()
    {
        // Add action or acc filter function
    }

    // Handle add action and filter
}

• Add Action Example:

<?php

namespace Vendor\Plugin;

use Juzaweb\CMS\Abstracts\Action;
use Juzaweb\AdsManager\Models\Ads;
use Juzaweb\CMS\Facades\HookAction;

class CustomAction extends Action
{
    public function handle()
    {
        $this->addAction(Action::BACKEND_INIT, [$this, 'addAdminMenus']);
        $this->addAction(Action::POSTS_FORM_LEFT_ACTION, [$this, 'addActionWithParameter']);
    }

    public function addAdminMenus()
    {
        HookAction::registerAdminPage(
            'banner-ads',
            [
                'title' => trans('plugin_domain::content.banner_ads'),
                'menu' => [
                    'icon' => 'fa fa-file',
                    'position' => 30,
                ]
            ]
        );
    }
    
    public function addActionWithParameter($model)
    {
        echo 'Model Title: ' . $model->title;
    }
}

• Register Your action: In boot function in your ServiceProvider, Register your action.

<?php

namespace Vendor\Plugin\Providers;

use Juzaweb\CMS\Facades\ActionRegister;
use Juzaweb\CMS\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Vendor\Plugin\CustomAction;

class ThemeServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot()
    {
        ActionRegister::register(
            [
                CustomAction::class,
            ]
        );
    }

    // Your code
}
