Hooks

Here is a common use case: imagine you have an API controller for blog posts and whenever a blog post is created, it needs to be associated with the currently authenticated user. To accomplish that, simply add beforeSave hook and associate user with the post:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Api;

use App\Models\Post;
use Orion\Http\Requests\Request;
use Orion\Http\Controllers\Controller;

class PostsController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @var string|null $model
     */
    protected $model = Post::class;

    /**
     * @param Request $request
     * @param Post $post
     */
    protected function beforeSave(Request $request, $post)
    {
        $post->user()->associate($request->user());
    }
}

On Model Controllers

• beforeIndex - executed before retrieving the list of models.
• afterIndex - executed after retrieveing the list of models, but before building response.
• beforeShow - executed before retrieving a model.
• afterShow - executed after retrieving a model, but before building response.
• beforeStore - executed before creating a new model instance and filling out attributes.
• afterStore - executed after storing a model, but before building response.
• beforeUpdate - executed before retrieving a model and filling out attributes.
• afterUpdate - executed after updating a model, but before building response.
• beforeSave - executed before model is saved, but after beforeStore and beforeUpdate.
• afterSave - executed after model is saved, but before afterStore and afterUpdate.
• beforeDestroy - executed before retrieving a model and deleting it.
• afterDestroy - executed after deleting a model, but before building response.
• beforeRestore - executed before retrieving a model and restoring it.
• afterRestore - executed after restoring a model, but before building response.

Batch hooks:

• beforeBatchStore - executed before creating new models.
• afterBatchStore - executed after storing new models, but before building response.
• beforeBatchUpdate - executed before retrieving models for updating.
• afterBatchUpdate - executed after updating the models, but before building response.
• beforeBatchDestroy - executed before retrieving models for deleting.
• afterBatchDestroy - executed after deleting the models, but before building response.
• beforeBatchRestore - executed before retrieving models for restoring.
• afterBatchRestore - executed after restoring the models, but before building response.

On Relationship Controllers

All types: relation controllers have before and after hooks for CRUD operations - same as model controllers.

One-to-many:

• beforeAssociate - executed after retrieving both models, but before associating a child model.
• afterAssociate - executed after saving a relation model with associated child model id, but before building response.
• beforeDissociate - executed after retrieving both models, but before dissociating a child model.
• afterDissociate - executed after saving a relation model with associated child model id, but before building response.

Many-to-many:

• beforeSync - executed before retrieving a relation model.
• afterSync - executed after syncing related models, but before building response.
• beforeToggle - executed before retrieving a relation model.
• afterToggle - executed after toggling related models, but before building response.
• beforeAttach - executed before retrieving a relation model.
• afterAttach - executed after attaching related model(s) to a relation model, but before building response.
• beforeDetach - executed before retrieving a relation model.
• afterDetach - executed after detaching related model(s) from a relation model, but before building response.
• beforeUpdatePivot - executed before retrieving a relation model.
• afterUpdatePivot - executed after updating pivot of related model, but before building response.
