Awaitable hooks system.
## Install
Using yarn:
```bash
yarn add hookable
```
Using npm:
```bash
npm install hookable
```
## Usage
**Method A: Create a hookable instance:**
```js
import { createHooks } from 'hookable'
// Create a hookable instance
const hooks = createHooks()
// Hook on 'hello'
hooks.hook('hello', () => { console.log('Hello World' )})
// Call 'hello' hook
hooks.callHook('hello')
```
**Method B: Extend your base class from Hookable:**
```js
import { Hookable } from 'hookable'
export default class FooLib extends Hookable {
constructor() {
// Call to parent to initialize
super()
// Initialize Hookable with custom logger
// super(consola)
}
async someFunction() {
// Call and wait for `hook1` hooks (if any) sequential
await this.callHook('hook1')
}
}
```
**Inside plugins, register for any hook:**
```js
const lib = new FooLib()
// Register a handler for `hook2`
lib.hook('hook2', async () => { /* ... */ })
// Register multiply handlers at once
lib.addHooks({
hook1: async () => { /* ... */ },
hook2: [ /* can be also an array */ ]
})
```
**Unregistering hooks:**
```js
const lib = new FooLib()
const hook0 = async () => { /* ... */ }
const hook1 = async () => { /* ... */ }
const hook2 = async () => { /* ... */ }
// The hook() method returns an "unregister" function
const unregisterHook0 = lib.hook('hook0', hook0)
const unregisterHooks1and2 = lib.addHooks({ hook1, hook2 })
/* ... */
unregisterHook0()
unregisterHooks1and2()
// or
lib.removeHooks({ hook0, hook1 })
lib.removeHook('hook2', hook2)
```
**Triggering a hook handler once:**
```js
const lib = new FooLib()
const unregister = lib.hook('hook0', async () => {
// Unregister as soon as the hook is executed
unregister()
/* ... */
})
```
## Hookable class
### `constructor()`
### `hook (name, fn)`
Register a handler for a specific hook. `fn` must be a function.
Returns an `unregister` function that, when called, will remove the registered handler.
### `hookOnce (name, fn)`
Similar to `hook` but unregisters hook once called.
Returns an `unregister` function that, when called, will remove the registered handler before first call.
### `addHooks(configHooks)`
Flatten and register hooks object.
Example:
```js
hookable.addHooks({
test: {
before: () => {},
after: () => {}
}
})
```
This registers `test:before` and `test:after` hooks at bulk.
Returns an `unregister` function that, when called, will remove all the registered handlers.
### `async callHook (name, ...args)`
Used by class itself to **sequentially** call handlers of a specific hook.
### `callHookWith (name, callerFn)`
If you need custom control over how hooks are called, you can provide a custom function that will receive an array of handlers of a specific hook.
`callerFn` if a callback function that accepts two arguments, `hooks` and `args`:
- `hooks`: Array of user hooks to be called
- `args`: Array of arguments that should be passed each time calling a hook
### `deprecateHook (old, name)`
Deprecate hook called `old` in favor of `name` hook.
### `deprecateHooks (deprecatedHooks)`
Deprecate all hooks from an object (keys are old and values or newer ones).
### `removeHook (name, fn)`
Remove a particular hook handler, if the `fn` handler is present.
### `removeHooks (configHooks)`
Remove multiple hook handlers.
Example:
```js
const handler = async () => { /* ... */ }
hookable.hook('test:before', handler)
hookable.addHooks({ test: { after: handler } })
// ...
hookable.removeHooks({
test: {
before: handler,
after: handler
}
})
```
### `removeAllHooks`
Remove all hook handlers.
### `beforeEach (syncCallback)`
Registers a (sync) callback to be called before each hook is being called.
```js
hookable.beforeEach((event) => { console.log(`${event.name} hook is being called with ${event.args}`)}`)
hookable.hook('test', () => { console.log('running test hook') })
// test hook is being called with []
// running test hook
await hookable.callHook('test')
```
### `afterEach (syncCallback)`
Registers a (sync) callback to be called after each hook is being called.
```js
hookable.afterEach((event) => { console.log(`${event.name} hook called with ${event.args}`)}`)
hookable.hook('test', () => { console.log('running test hook') })
// running test hook
// test hook called with []
await hookable.callHook('test')
```
### `createDebugger`
Automatically logs each hook that is called and how long it takes to run.
```js
const debug = hookable.createDebugger(hooks, { tag: 'something' })
hooks.callHook('some-hook', 'some-arg')
// [something] some-hook: 0.21ms
debug.close()
```
## Migration
### From `4.x` to `5.x`
- Type checking improved. You can use `Hookable<T>` or `createHooks<T>()` to provide types interface **([c2e1e22](https://github.com/unjs/hookable/commit/c2e1e223d16e7bf87117cd8d72ad3ba211a333d8))**
- We no longer provide an IE11 compatible umd build. Instead, you should use an ESM-aware bundler such as webpack or rollup to transpile if needed.
- Logger param is dropped. We use `console.warn` by default for deprecated hooks.
- Package now uses named exports. You should import `{ Hookable }` instead of `Hookable` or use new `createHooks` util
- `mergeHooks` util is exported standalone. You should replace `Hookable.mergeHooks` and `this.mergeHooks` with new `{ mergeHooks }` export
- In versions < 5.0.0 when using `callHook` if an error happened by one of the hook callbacks, we was handling errors globally and call global `error` hook + `console.error` instead and resolve `callHook` promise! This sometimes makes confusing behavior when we think code worked but it didn't. v5 introduced a breaking change that when a hook throws an error, `callHook` also rejects instead of a global `error` event. This means you should be careful to handle all errors when using `callHook` now.
