Laravel Hookable

Laravel Hookable is a package that allows you to use hooks (actions and filters) in Laravel applications – similar to the hook system in WordPress.

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require saschaende/laravel-hookable

The package is automatically registered by Laravel (see composer.json).

How it works

• Actions: Execute code without modifying data (e.g., for events or extensions).
• Filters: Allow modification of data.

The package provides a Hookable facade that exposes the main methods. The binding is handled automatically via the ServiceProvider.

Usage

Adding actions

use SaschaEnde\Hookable\Facades\Hookable;

Hookable::action('my_action', function ($arg1, $arg2) {
    // Do something with $arg1 and $arg2
});

To execute the action (e.g., at a specific point in your code):

Hookable::renderActions('my_action', $arg1, $arg2);

Adding filters

use SaschaEnde\Hookable\Facades\Hookable;

Hookable::filter('my_filter', function ($value) {
    // Modify $value
    return $value;
});

Apply the filter:

$value = Hookable::applyFilters('my_filter', $value);

Priorities and arguments

You can specify the priority and the number of arguments for hooks:

Hookable::action('my_action', function ($arg1, $arg2) {
    // Do something
}, 20);

In this example, the action will be executed with priority 20 and will receive 2 arguments.

Blade Directives

The package registers two Blade directives to use hooks directly in Blade templates:

@applyFilter('my_filter', $value)
@doAction('my_action', $arg1, $arg2)

• @applyFilter('filter_name', $value): Applies a filter to a value and outputs the result.
• @doAction('action_name', ...): Executes an action and outputs its result.

Testing

You can run the tests using PHPUnit:

vendor/bin/phpunit
