beforeRead hook

[Kharg]

So, I am trying to setup a beforeRead hook but it isn't working correctly.

I just want to update my status field from "Unread" to "Read" once the record has been opened but after I refresh the list view the status field is changed back to "Unread"
List api returns a "Unread" status but the record api gives the status "Read"


This is my hook:

<?php

namespace Espo\Custom\Hooks\WhatsApp;

use Espo\ORM\Entity;
use Espo\Core\Record\ReadParams;
use Espo\Core\Record\Hook\ReadHook;

class HasBeenRead implements ReadHook
{
    public function process(Entity $entity, ReadParams $params): void
    {
        $entity->set('status', 'Read');
    }
}

Any tips?

You have to save the entity. Example:

<?php

namespace Espo\Custom\Hooks\WhatsApp;

use Espo\ORM\Entity;
use Espo\ORM\EntityManager;
use Espo\Core\Record\ReadParams;
use Espo\Core\Record\Hook\ReadHook;

class HasBeenRead implements ReadHook
{
    private EntityManager $entityManager;

    public function __construct(EntityManager $entityManager)
    {
        $this->entityManager = $entityManager;
    }

   public function process(Entity $entity, ReadParams $params): void
   {
      $entity->set('status', 'Read');
      $this->entityManager->saveEntity($entity);
   }
}
