Hooks

Hooks allow you to intercept and/or mutate data in different parts of the SIMPLOO code.

The following hooks are available:

• beforeInstancerInitClass
  • Called before a class definition is turned into an instantiatable object. You can modify the classFormat to change the class.
  • Arguments: (classFormat)
  • Useful for things like: automatically add getter/setter methods to classes
• afterInstancerInitClass
  • Called after a class definition has been turned into an instantiatable object.
  • Arguments: (classFormat, classInstance)
• afterInstancerInstanceNew
  • Called every time an instance is made using the Class.new() method.
  • Arguments: (newInstance)
• onSyntaxNamespace
  • Called every time a namespace statement is used.
  • Arguments: (namespaceName)
• onSyntaxUsing
  • Called every time a using statement is used.
  • Arguments: (namespaceName)
  • Useful for things like: lazy load the file of a class when it's being used

Example of how to create a hook:

simploo.hook:add("beforeInstancerInitClass", function(classFormat)
    -- modify your class format here
end)
