Hooks

Eicrud offers a variety of CRUD hooks to perform actions triggered by entity modification or query.

Note

These hooks are specific to each CRUDServices. For global hooks see the controller hooks.

Warning

Any error thrown in a hook cancels the underlying operation. Consider using try...catch blocks to avoid side effects.

Create Hooks

beforeCreateHook

user.hooks.ts

override async beforeCreateHook(this: UserService, data: User[], ctx) {
    // before User creation

    return data;
}

afterCreateHook

user.hooks.ts

override async afterCreateHook(this: UserService, result: any[], data: User[], ctx) {
    // after User creation

    return result;
}

Read hooks

beforeReadHook

user.hooks.ts

override async beforeReadHook(this: UserService, query: User, ctx){
    // before User read

    return query;
}

afterReadHook

user.hooks.ts

override async afterReadHook(this: UserService, result, query: User, ctx){
    // after User read

    return result;
}

Update Hooks

beforeUpdateHook

user.hooks.ts

override async beforeUpdateHook(this: UserService,
    updates: { query: User; data: User }[],
    ctx
) {
    // before User update

    return updates;
}

afterUpdateHook

user.hooks.ts

override async afterUpdateHook(this: UserService, 
    results: any[],
    updates: { query: User; data: User }[],
    ctx,
) {
    // after User update

    return results;
}

Delete Hooks

beforeDeleteHook

user.hooks.ts

override async beforeDeleteHook(this: UserService, query: User, ctx: CrudContext){
        // before User delete

        return query;
}

afterDeleteHook

user.hooks.ts

override async afterDeleteHook(this: UserService, result, query: User, ctx: CrudContext){
        // after User delete

        return result;
}

Error Hook

user.hooks.ts

override async errorControllerHook(this: UserService, error: any, ctx: CrudContext){
        //after User error

}

Note

Error hooks are called by the controller and not the service. This means they'll only catch errors that result from a controller call. Returning a value in an error hook prevents the error from throwing. The value is sent back to the client.
