Configuring the After Relate Hook to Execute Only for Specific Relationships

[alohatech]

In the after Relate Hook code, I want to prevent it from executing for all relationships. How can I configure the code so that it only runs for the specific relationship linked to myEntity?help please

[alohatech]

I think I figured it out

<?php

namespace Espo\Custom\Hooks\YourEntity;

use Espo\Core\Hooks\Base;

class AfterRelate extends Base
{
    public function afterRelate($entity, array $options, array $params)
    {
        // Define the target relationship and entity type
        $targetRelationName = 'myEntityRelationshipName'; // relationship name
        $targetEntityType = 'MyEntity'; // the related entity type

        // Check if this is the specific relationship
        if ($params['relationName'] === $targetRelationName && $params['relatedEntityType'] === $targetEntityType) {
            // Custom logic for this specific relationship
          
            
            // Example: Update a field or perform an action
            // $entity->set('fieldName', 'newValue');
            // $this->getEntityManager()->saveEntity($entity); // Save if changes are made
      
        }
    }
}

don't extend base hook instead implement Interface.

Something like below

<?php
namespace Espo\Custom\Hooks\YourEntity;

use Espo\Core\Hook\Hook\AfterRelate;
use Espo\ORM\Entity;
use Espo\ORM\EntityManager;
use Espo\ORM\Repository\Option\RelateOptions;


/**
 * @implements AfterRelate<YourEntity>
 */
class YourHook implements AfterRelate
{
    public function __construct(private EntityManager $entityManager){}

    public function afterRelate(
        Entity $entity,
        string $relationName,
        Entity $relatedEntity,
        array $columnData,
        RelateOptions $options
    ): void {

        if ($options->get(SaveOption::SILENT)) {
            return;
        }

        $relationName = $relationName ?? null;
        $relatedEntity = $relatedEntity ?? null;

        if ($relationName === 'somRelationsShipLinkHere' && $relatedEntity) {
            // Your code here
        }
    }
}​
