beforeRelate record hook options

[Firyo]

Hi there,

I'm currently refactoring my old Espo code in order to match the good standards and get rid of my deprecated code.
I'm transforming my old "beforeRelate" functions (inside my Repositories) into record hooks (https://docs.espocrm.com/development...kclassnamelist).

But, I did find there was no

$options 

parameter inside the

public function process(Entity $entity, string $link, Entity $foreignEntity): void; 

function inside the

application/Espo/Core/Record/Hook/LinkHook.php 

interface.

How should I proceed in order to give optionnal parameters to my beforeRelate hooks ?

Regards,
Firyo.

Hello, It's a different hook. You need this: https://docs.espocrm.com/development/hooks/#interfaces

But there's no beforeRelate, only after.

Hi Yuri,

In my case I was using the

$options 

to do a check (and wheter or not) and throw an exception.
So I guess the afterRelate hook won't be suited for this.

For throwing exceptions the Record BeforeRelate hook usually suits better. The fact that there's no BeforeRelate hook. Maybe worth reconsidering your approach.

Would it be possible to add beforeRelate? Or should I use beforeUpdateHookClassNameList?

Hi bandtank,

I think you could still use beforeLinkHookClassNameList to do the job if you want to check before a link is linked to an entity.

I have used it in the paste and worked nicely.

Thanks
