Dancer2...re::Hook(3)

💖 Dancer2::Core::Hook — manipulate hooks with Dancer2 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Dancer2::Core::Hook page, straight outta the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of your friendly neighbourhood man command. this is where Dancer2 keeps all the hook-plumbing ✨

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 2.2.1 — yes queen, that's the one, don't @ me

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

lowkey the whole vibe in one lil snippet:

# inside a plugin
use Dancer2::Core::Hook;
Dancer2::Core::Hook->register_hooks_name(qw/before_auth after_auth/);

like… that's it. that's the entrance. 🦋

---

👑 METHODS 👑

💅 register_hook ($hook_name, $code)

okay so check it:

hook 'before' => sub {...};

this one attaches a hook at some point. that's literally the whole job. you give it a name and some code, and the code gets hooked in at that moment. iconic behaviour, no notes. ✨

---

💅 register_hooks_name

this is the one where you, the plugin author, add a new hook name so that application developers can sneak some of their own code in at that point. it's giving "here's a slot, bestie, come decorate it" 🎀

package My::Dancer2::Plugin;
Dancer2::Core::Hook->instance->register_hooks_name(qw/before_auth after_auth/);

see how it's called on ->instance? yeah. that's the move. 💅

---

💅 execute_hook

Execute a hook. run it. let it cook. 🔥

---

💅 get_hooks_for

Returns the list of coderef registered for a given position — so if you ever wanna know who's queued up at a particular spot, this hands you the whole guest list. 🫶

---

💅 hook_is_registered

Test if a hook with this name has already been registered. the vibe check for hooks, fr fr. ✅❌
